Dream Interpretation Thread

[Lotus]

i don't think the bird was my heart, it was more disturbing than that… like i was a normal functioning body except there was a small yellow bird living in my ribcage and everyone was trying to get it out. using that website you gave, i found these two to be paradoxical:

Yellow Bird
To see a yellow bird in your dream, foretells good luck in financial affairs, but not so good in affairs of the heart.

Rib
To see ribs in your dream, symbolizes poverty and misery.

so which is it?

The dream interpretations on the I find tend to be reasonably accurate, but it will depend on the overall context of the dream.
O.K. do you know why they wanted to get it out?

You are supposed to use Dreammoods as a consultant, but the dream symbols there are only the collective ones (Jung's collective unconscious). You have your own personal symbols, and that's where you have to look. What do you feel about the color yellow, what do you feel about birds, what do you feel about people and birdcages and your ribcage, for that matter.

Use dreammoods to see if you instantly recognize the symbol, if not, then what is written is wrong.

Dreams don't forecast richness or poverty, btw, that's just ridiculous. (OK, some trends can of course be predicted by the unconscious, but in general, not much). Dreams explain psychic energies, so that you, if you understand them, can cooperate better with yourself.

See the symbols in your dream in this context:
- What are you struggling with in your life lately?
- What are people up to around you?
- What are you hiding from yourself?
etc.

Then see if you can make sense of the dream.

Another trick is to see the dream in context of other dreams you have had lately. They are often linked.

This is very good.
