Dreams can offer us a peek into our subconscious, so, what could these creepy-crawly ones be telling you? To find out, we asked professional dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg. Here’s what she had to say. For example, a client of hers who was having spider dreams had the personal association of viewing spiders as home invaders. This translated to a real-life issue she had with a friend, who she felt was invasive and intruding on her life. The emotions you experience, as well as your thought process in the dream are important, too. “What do you remember thinking when you saw the spider? That will directly correlate to something in your real life that’s currently an issue,” Loewenberg notes. Starting a dream journal and making sure you’re getting adequate REM sleep are two other ways to make your dreams become more clear to you. Once you’ve decoded the message you think the dream was trying to show you, you can begin taking action in your real life to work on it.
