Dream Dictionary
By:
John M Hawkins
This dictionary is a compilation of dream symbols that gives general meanings to
common occurring dream symbols. All terms have been compiled and deciphered
through dream analyses and dream research done by John Hawkins.
To correctly analyze a dream each meaning is refined by the situations occurring in the
dream and in ones immediate life. Also, the colors, tones, and symbols (archetypes)
which are recognized also play into the actual meaning of the dream. Further in depth
understanding comes from the individual’s frequency and the frequency of the dream
itself.
Although this dictionary is a very comprehensive expose on many terms and symbols, it
cannot and does not list every possible symbol and what the concrete full definitions
are. This is universally impossible because the possibilities that occur in the dream state
are infinite. Each definition is given to help shine light on a particular frequency and
allow one to go deeper into the symbolic meaning behind their dreams.
Since waking life itself is a dream, the meaning of these symbols still play into waking
life and this is as infinite and vast as the dream world. Pay close attention to how your
dreams reflect your outer world and how your outer world is reflected during your
dreams. Notice common similarities, reoccurring events and experiences in both areas
of your life.
The average human sleeps about 8 hours a night. That is a lot of your life which goes
unnoticed and is rarely ever paid attention to. In fact, dreams are the most important
part of your life and help you understand yourself at a deeper level. They can help you
learn things about yourself, guide you, and open you up to a higher intelligence which is
always with you.
To begin doing dream work it is important to have a notebook and a pen/pencil beside
your bed. Leave the notebook open to a blank page every night. Affirm before going to
bed that you WILL remember and write down your dreams. Upon waking, write down
your dreams and date it. If they are not too detailed, right down what you can
remember, even if it is one thing. It all matters. The more you do the work the stronger
your recall will become.
Dream work is a vital practice in ones spiritual path and opens you up to other
dimensions which lay just beyond the physical. Dreams are the gateway to your higher
self and allow you to advance not only your physical life in a positive way but also your
spiritual and mental parts of you, expanding your awareness and “psychic” abilities.
It is beneficial to say these throughout the day, write them down, or repeat them in
your head. Create your own affirmations to help reprogram your mind into
remembering your dreams and being aware of when you’re dreaming.
May your inner light shine brightly and show you the hidden worlds of your soul.
