There's no way you can really understand the meaning of your own dreams unless you investigate them yourself. Books and classes that interpret dreams in terms of symbol sets may sell well and give people seeking meaning a sense of security, but they really all miss the mark. The work of psychologists (Jung, for example) directed toward creating a lexicon of dream imagery that "works" for all people is well-meaning but also misses the mark.

The imagery in your dreams is specific to you and your life personally and the only way you can really interpret the imagery is to do your own research.

If you are REALLY interested in the symbolism of your dreams, the first thing you should do is start keeping a detailed record of then. The best time to remember your dream is when you first wake up. If you keep a notebook next to your bed and try to record what you can remember of your dream upon first awakening, you will find that your dream memories will become more and more detailed and vivid as time goes on. I keep a microcassette recorder on my nightstand and dictate what I can remember of my dream when I first wake up, and then later I transcribe the tape. I have been doing this for an extremely long time.

Once you have been keeping this record for a few weeks you'll start to see patterns emerge. At this point figuring out what your dreams "mean" will get a whole lot easier.

As for your question: Every dream is "strange", lol!

I hope this was helpful. yours in Chaos, Scarlett
