Before we embark on an extended trip, many of us prepare checklists to make sure we don't forget anything – passport, credit cards, airline tickets. It's helpful to prepare for a dream adventure in the same way, consulting a checklist of questions you should remember to ask yourself when interpreting your dream.
This is my dreamcoaching checklist with typical questions I would ask during a dreamcoaching session. I recommend that you familiarise yourself with these questions and use them on a regular basis. This checklist is by no means definitive. I encourage you to personalise the list and add any questions you feel are relevant.
- Is my dream about something that just happened to me?
- Was my dream influenced by something I ate before going to bed?
- Am I being alerted to an physical illness or ailment in my dream?
- Am I living out my worst fears in my dream?
- Is my dream a way for me to develop memory?
- Is my dream a way for me to develop survival techniques?
- Am I learning more about my relationships in my dream?
- Am I making karmic connections to loved ones who have departed in my dream?
- Is my dream bringing something to a resolution or to completion?
- Does my dream indicate that I am in conflict about what I think I should be doing in my life and what I am actually doing?
- Is my dream helping me to solve a problem that is happening in my life right now?
- Is my dream about my highest aspirations?
- Does my dream relate to a film or TV program I've just watched, or a book I've just read?
- Is my dream about wish-fulfilment, ie. living out my most deep-rooted desires?
- Is my dream about transformation or a change that is taking place in my life?
- Am I revisiting the past in my dream?
- Is my dream alerting me to how I sabotage my deep desires in my life?
- Is my dream so wacko that I'm not supposed to decipher it – it will work itself it out in time?
- Is my dream encouraging me to adopt a different attitude to my life – or a certain situation in my life?
