How I Can Find Out My Dreams Meanings

There are a few points we need to consider before we start in on analyzing the dreams you’ve been having.
These are found in a study of Huna, mainly from a book by Serge Kahili King, called "Mastering the Hidden Self."
This book has a chapter devoted to dreams. While King explains how these can be interpreted into meaning, the real core of this is actually in another section devoted to analysis itself - and what "huna" means.
These books tend to tell you of things known as "common sense" as they are widely known. It's just that people aren't really seeing what they know.
In King's book, it's pointed out that people dream all the time - all day long, in fact. You probably have seen this when you have woken from a daydream after a heavy lunch. That "dream-world" is always present, just ignored or suppressed most of the time. You'd be amazed what you find when you simply look for it. Lots of data there.
In Dr. King's book, he also lays out four distinct ways of analyzing data. I've not seen anywhere else which covers analysis this way:
Objective - what did you see just happened? Subjective - what are your feelings about what happened? Symbolic - what do you consider this all mean or stand for? Holistic - how do you think this fits in with what you're doing, or the goals you have?
Now, of course you can use any one of these. The most experienced kahunas would actually use all four at once getting a conceptual understanding of things as they occurred and seeing the world around them from a much broader viewpoint.
Some only think with their feelings and this blocks their view of the world around them. By only "feeling" their way through life, they cut off experiencing other world-views and real empathy with the world around them. They can no longer observe on other levels, using feelings as a convenient crutch.
Feelings are not the final analysis. They are simply a single factor among many. If you only "think" with your feelings, this will often get you into knee-jerk reactions, which compound the problem of doing any accurate analysis. You have the option of 3 other ways to look at this - and then can cross-compare what they tell you before deciding to act.
This of course can take practice to get any good at it. Releasing your feelings and underlying desires can make this analysis much easier. By sitting in a comfortable chair each day (preferably at the same time) and simply letting all these flow out of you until you can simply just be there with no reaction - this then can allow you to invest your self in looking at your dream or other in-life situation with the other tools.
Once you are able to have that ability, you can then simply extract the meaning from any dream either your sleeping , waking , of incidental day dreams all at will.
Good Hunting.

Known for extensive writing in self-help and personal development, Dr. Robert C. Worstell (see author interview) has just published a New Age fiction book, "The Dreamer Dreamed" which explores the concept of How to Interpret The Meanings of Dreams, among other ideas. This book employs the understanding of various spiritual meaning books and research he's conducted over the last 35 years but using the fiction genre as a research vehicle.
