Dream Interpreter?
This weekend I went to Salem MA to check out the Halloween sights. As we walked through the many vendors selling yummy kettle-corn and watching crazy costumes there was a sign for FREE DREAM INTERPERTATION. I always joked about this one dream I had and never could understand what it meant. So I said to my lovely wife what the hell!
I walked over to the makeshift tent and said I would like to have my crazy dream interpreted for me. Over the years my wife and I joked that you could not just make this one up. She took my name and I waited for about 10 minutes. As I was standing to the side it seems they shipped these interpreters from all over the USA for this special weekend in Salem. There was an older gentleman welcoming two women and a man from different areas of the USA. He told the older woman she would be the lead and the other two would be working with her. He invited them to sit and asked me to follow them into the tent. I have to tell you I am very excited that these professionals are going to finally settle my restlessness from this crazy dream I had many years ago. What is a Dream Interpreter professional? Well I do not know but I am glad they are here!
I sat down and the welcomed me and I was excited to know I was their first of the night. That means they are awake and ready to impress! They greeted me and told me their names and where they are from. I forgot all that information since I just wanted to get to the point. I said you people will think I am crazy but I am excited to know what my dream means. They sat quietly and waited for me to blirt it all out. I started out by saying this dream was quick but has been in my mind for about three years now. It is to crazy for anyone to make up so here it is:
“Me, GOD, and Joe Pesci robbed a Wendy’s” They all looked at me like I was crazy! After about 3 minutes of the steering at me in silence I said thats it! One asked if I got away with the robbery I said “of course we had God on our side”. No sense of humor from these people they are taking this seriously which I was happy to see. The lead asked if I had a weapon. I didn’t remember but I said I don’t think so since we had God. But I do now think I had some kind of machine gun. I know Joe Pesci was yelling like in the movies. The other lady just looked at me like I was crazy.
They all did some meditation for about 5 long friggin minutes and finally the guy said let me give you my thougths. I said ok shoot. He said something to the effect of God was telling me that I will get what I want bla bla bla bla not making any sense. He asked me if that made sense. I said NOPE! They all meditated again for awhile. The lead said she agreed with him but she wanted to add to it. Agree with what? He made no sense about me getting something God wanted me to get. She said God has a plan or wants me to get what I want. “To rob a Wendy’s?” I don’t think so. I then asked them why is Joe in the dream. They all had no idea. She then reiterated about the God wanting me to have something I want and she asked “does that make sense?”. NOPE! I thanked them for their time but they could not help me.
If there is anyone out there that can help me with my dream PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Personally, I think you’ve eaten too much Wendy’s food, watched too many mafia movies and have issues with the Catholic church…but that’s just me…
In my (no doubt, professional) opinion…
… I believe that dreams are some manifestation of the mind or another, whether it be conscience or sub-conscience. I think that’s a reasonable assumption.
Now, on that note, I do not think it reasonable to claim certain symbols are universal, or that dreams can be interpreted correctly within only the context of what occurs and exists in them. The individual, the dreamer, must be taken into account (something that said individual can do best on his / her own).
Of course, for example, it may be a widely shared paradigm that, say, the color blue is sad; but to claim that, ‘whenever the color blue appears, it signifies something sad’ is a generalization that will probably end up in the true meaning of the dream being lost.

Consider this. You like Joe Pesci. Now, someone else has the same, exact dream, except they hate Joe Pesci.
In that single, obvious, and blatant difference, Joe Pesci probably represents and signifies something completely different for each dream. Think about how wide the vast gap in similarity would span with the infinite amount of both obvious, and very subtle details, thoughts, emotions, etc. that thrive in a differentiating manner within each mind. Generalizations probably don’t work out.
To sum my rambling up, my advice is that you analyze your own dream, taking into consideration every (remembered) detail, and inferring from the compilation something in regards to your own mind, and not generalizations that some soothsayer dribbles out.
Unlock your sub-conscience!
I love it!
You should have just asked me! (I’ll explain further down)
I was recently at a Samhain celebration at the Universalist Unitarian church in Peterboro. Apon entering, what was really more of a “Wiccan Faire”, (except for a few honest to goodness pagan tidbits that found their way through) I looked around the room full of vendors to see not one but three different Tarot card readers. One was a fake…or at least not a good person…but I digress. My point is that at any “pagan” function (or any mass gathering of people interested in one particular subject) you will be deluged with a plethora of charlatons and wannabes. I would have had my fortune told via Tarot that day…however my twenty dollars to which they were calling, and I, had a bond…a bond with my wallet where I wanted it to stay. And well it helps having a family member who can give extremely acurate readings for free.
Knox makes an extremely valid point that I too have discovered over the years in my delving into various paranormal/occult topics. I’ve always been interested in dreams both from a scientific standpoint and a not so scientific one as well. In my early teens I collected numerous dream interpretation books.
And so I would wake up after having an extremely rich and detailed dream with countless aspects…and I would attempt to decipher my dream with my dream interpretation book in hand. And time after time this is how it would go…
(and I’m just generalizing…the meanings aren’t “acurate”)
I (for the sake of the story) dreamt that I was driving down the street in a green car and a brown dog ran in front of my car and then suddenly I was in a building searching for a vampire that bit my right hand while we were on a merry go-round.
Dog…(flips pages)…Good things will come in your future.
Car…beware of betrayal
Brown…bad things will come in your future.
right hand…your friends are loyal
Merry Go-Round…you will be recieving money
Vampire…you will be losing money
Essentially…unless you had a dream where you can only remember one aspect from it…dream books were contradictory.
And then add in what Knox says about Joe Pesci. I have never been involved with horses…where as my friend has worked with horses all of her life. If the two of us have dreams about horses…it will mean something completely different to each of us.
When it comes to deciphering dreams…self analysis would make the most sense. The problem is that many people do not have a sense for what their dreams symbolize to themsevles. The dream dictionaries previously mentioned while pretty much useless do serve one function (other than a paperweight) and that is to at least bring about the idea that in some cases there are symbols with universal or archetypal meaning. So if we take the color red…universaly…red is associated with power, lust, and stop lights. Now…you take the symbol with it’s general known meaning…then apply it to yourself. Do you hate or love the color red? Where was the color in the dream. Dream analysis is a series of linked meanings based off of one another.
So back to where I said you should have asked me.
On Myspace a while back…I created a group called “The Dream Salon”. The Dream Salon’s purpose was for all those who were a part of it to have a place where they could without fear of being judged share their dreams with others in the hope that everyone would give their two cents in analyzing it for them. It was supposed to be a group effort where everyone gave their own opinions in hopes that somewhere along the lines someone would hit the nail on the head and the person whose dream it was would be like…Yes! That’s it!
Unfortunately…I came across why dream analysis is not something that everyone does…despite the fact we really are our own experts.
I posted numerous dreams of my own. After posting I’d get a few…”Wow that’s weird!”…maybe one…”I had a dream like that”. My dreams were no weirder (well most of the time) than anyone elses.
I made the mistake of analyzing dreams for other people…and not doing a shoddy job either. My group turned into “Lady Lore’s Dream Revelations”…Where I…Lady Lore was now the sole person doing any kind of analysis. My group lasted a month or two before I became so deluged with dreams and disgruntled at being the sole analyzer that I just stopped doing it.
If you go to my myspace and click on Lore’s groups…you should be able to view it.
But from a dream enthusiast…and an amateur dream interpreter…here’s how I go about it…and why I think people avoid interpreting their dreams themselves.
I can interpret a dream for anyone. But…the more I know about someone the more precise and “accurate” my interpretations will be. Think about the interpreter as more of a psychologist…the more details and tidbits I know the more I can connect the dots. That’s really what it is…is connecting the dots. It’s looking at what the symbols in the dream might mean to that person…and how they might have recieved them from the outside world.
And with connecting the dots…is the problem. Most people despite how much they say they want to know what their dreams mean…really don’t because it means that they will know something about the inner part of them that has had to leech out through dreams just so the psyche can handle it.
Now…I do believe that there are different levels of dreams. There are dreams where it’s really mostly what you’ve seen or heard before you went to bed or what has happened to you that day. There are dreams that are just entertaining fluff. There are dreams that actually delve into your psyche…and there are dreams that (from a paranormal/occult point of view) might be more than just dreams.
Most of the time…Joe Pesci is not Joe…he’s some aspect that comes through as Joe. But sometimes…Joe really is just Joe..and the key is looking at the whole and not just the parts to figure out which is which.
And between the three of them working on your dream…I can’t believe that with all of their “meditation” that they didn’t come up with a better analysis other than God wanted something good for you. They were charlatans…and bad charlatans at that. The best charlatans are the ones who are experts at psychology…they can pull stuff out of you without you even realizing and then sew it together with just enough truth and just enough fluff to make it all too appealing. They obviously didn’t accomplish that goal. I’m glad they didn’t accomplish the usual goal of seperating a person from their cash.
If you want me to decipher your dream let me know. I don’t go into any deep trances or talk to the dead…but I do promise something more than just “God wants you to have something you want”. And I don’t claim to be an actual interpretor…I just rely heavily on the one thing from elementary school that seems to be missing lately…context clues.
I’m sorry if my comment is longer than your post lol.
An example…
A friends Dream…”I dont remeber too too much about the dream. As a matter of fact it just hit me now that I had it. For those who dont know, my dad passed 8 years ago.
He took me and my mother out to Old Navy because he wanted a pair of pants like mine. They are tan cargp pants with unzip legs so they can be converted to shorts(I love those pants). So we all were searching aound for these pants and I went my own way just to be the one to find them for him and I did! But when I tried to find him he wasnt anywhere and it turned out that he was grocery shopping next door. But I went over and made him come back for the pants. After I dont remeber much =(
From time to time he comes in my dreams and we seem to have an actual conversation, this time we didnt speak much at all. He just wanted those dam pants!”
The Interpretation…”Wow.
How to start…the pants are extremely important in your dream. They may not seem so but consider the phrase…who wears the pants in the relationship. The traditional pants wearer is usually the father figure. And in your dream…your father wants a pair of YOUR pants. It is in essence saying that you are the one who wears the pants of your family now or that you have found your own way in the world…you too are a “pants” wearer…he looks up to you…is proud of you.
While searching for the pants for your father…You go your own way…you find your own way to the pants…to becoming your own person.
You then have to find him…and he’s in the grocery store. this could represent his feeding the family…maybe not in actual food form…but nourishment of some type…spirtual…mental. He still provides care for his family.
You give him his pants. This could represent you feeling that you still see him as the head of the family…You may have your place but his will never be forgotten.
It’s possible that he didn’t feel the need to speak with you in your dream because the actions of the dream spoke enough of how he felt.
And just wondering…but did you buy your pants at Old Navy? If not Old Navy may have some other significance other than just a store.”
what does it mean to have the same dreams over amd over again
