The key to dream interpretation, according to Naiman, is not to try to interpret the dream literally through symbols and visuals, but rather to feel into the emotions it evokes, asking, What is this bringing up for me emotionally? “We need to learn the dream language; we don’t always have to translate it into waking,” he notes. If you struggle to remember your dreams, consider the many factors that could be causing that, like stress and poor diet. Once you set yourself up for a dream-filled night’s sleep, grab your journal and you’re good to go. Sweet dreams!
