Remember, the last dream symbol you saw, and now give it a voice and a personality. Visualize it and talk to it mentally as though it were a person now sitting on your sofa and visiting you. You would mentally say something like, “Purple cow, who are you and what is your message to me?”

Now here is the key. The FIRST thought that pops into your mind is the answer! The tendency at this point is to have the rational egoic mind come in and begin to doubt the message with thoughts of, “No, that’s not good enough. That couldn’t be it.”

The problem is not that dream interpretation is all that difficult. The problem is that when we hear the answer, sometimes it is not what we WANT to hear. Remember what Jack Nicholson said in the movie A Few Good Men also applies to dream interpretation. “You want the truth! You can’t HANDLE the truth!”
