Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. It is Flex and Rooms on Kata. Is there anything more boring than hearing someone talk about their dream I actually find it quite interesting, oh, I will say, though, if you're part of the community who likes to look at the science and symbols and interpretations of your dreams, I have something for you, and I will say on paper verbally, you are interpreting your
dreams wrong. According to men and his symbols Carl Jung. You'll find it if you google it. I'm a dreamy girly, I'm a dream interpreter, a dream haver, a lucid dreamer. I take it quite seriously. But what I can't get to the bottom of is what dreams actually mean. Why do they happen? Why do we have them? It's inconclusive, which is quite annoying for me, because we know everything about Mars and everything about the moon. Tell me about
my dreams? Anyway, listen to this. The reason why you might struggle to interpret your dreams lies and this fact. A story told by your conscious mind has a beginning, a development, and an end. But the same is not true of a dream. It's dimensions in time and space are quite different. To understand it, you must examine it from every aspect, just as you may take an unknown shape and turn it over into your hands until you're
familiar with what it is. So when you see something you don't know for the first time, you take the time to really look at it from every angle before you draw this conclusion about what it is or what it might not be. And so then I really thought about what happens when we dream. We're quick to first say this is a nightmare. It's a good dream. Correct. We rush to say it's a good dream, it's a bad dream. It's a dream I enjoyed, it's a dream
I didn't enjoy. And because there's no clear beginning, middle, and end, we attach ideas to certain themes. Right, it was dark, therefore it was scary. I saw a friend from high school. Therefore it was an anxiety dream. But the tip that I learned in this book is the dream interpretation, and it has to be unique to you. You can't be going to dream interpretation dot Com and being like, what is what I mean? The dream interpretation lies exactly in what is happening? One more time, The
way to interpret your dreams lies in what is happening. So, for example, I had a dream the other day it was like the end of the world, the Walking Dead vibes, And I'm with three of my friends and we're on like this motorway highway. It's desolate. We've got our backpacks on. We're walking, walking, walking, looking for a shelter or something.
We come across this petrol station that's been abandoned, but there's flower here, and we get inside and immediately my friends like, oh my god, this is amazing, our saving, grace, our salvation. There's flower. And they all turn to me and I'm like, what do we do with the flower? They're like, what do you mean, what do we do with the flower? We make bread with the flower? I said, I don't know how to make bread. One by one,
they all start ripping into me. You spent all this time talking about the apocalypse and you don't even know how to make bread. What were you doing? Why are we here? La la la la. So I wake up and using my little book, I'm like, what is happening in the stream. I'm like, exactly what is happening? I spent all this time talking about the apocalypse. Not prepared, not even a little bit. I don't know how to purify water. I don't know how to make bread. I
don't know how to survive with electricity. I don't even know how to do permaculture, bab I can't even get a plant carrot. They should have apocalypse training. They've called some meal kits all hello fresh right in the apocalypse, keep it going, keep history alive. My hand up, jeers, I'm saying, though, and then and then I'm like, okay, well, then why are my three friends mad at me? Right? And it's like one of the three friends I've had for the longest time, two of them I've known since
high school. And I was like, it's a theme, Like they're often always upset with me in my dreams. What is that about? Because they're quite reasonable, sensible people. And I was like, if I really deep it, like if I go into my heart and soul, those two friends are the first people outside of my family that existed as a moral compass, Like outside of my mum telling me like this is good and bad or my brother's being like that's wrong or right. They you are the
ones who were like, hey, some things are good. Maybe we shouldn't do that, maybe we should be sensible. So then in my brain, my subconscious is like, Okay, we're talking about being sensible, living up to expectation, understanding why you are are not doing things. That is the dream. It's not about the apocalypse, it's not about the bread. That is what happened. But by focusing on what exactly happened, not the stories we tell ourselves about what the dream symbolizes,
there in lies the meeting. Yeah, I think I get it, you know, practice because there's something there. Your subconscious isn't really trying to hide things from you. It just doesn't know what's important to you. And the interpretation lies in what you are trying to see in it. And so like I feel really validated by being like, it's dark, so it's a nightmare because I'm afraid of the dark. That's just easy. But if we look past the doc, if we go what do we see? Meaning? As we
always say, here, realize, realize real life. Yea with Flexing Firms. You've been listening to the flex and Firms Daily podcast. For more, tune Indicator on DAB or stream it on iHeartRadio.
