Tarot Readings and Your Dreams

Dreams and tarots have one thing in common and that is the use of symbols. Tarots make use of symbols to elicit an unconscious response. Dreams make use of symbols to signify what the conscious has incorporated into the subconscious. This is why dreams are often interpreted by tarot readings.

Heeding the messages dreams try to tell a person dates back centuries ago. It was already considered important because it was perceived that dreams act like a mirror. You dream what you see. But dreams reflect more than what meets the eye, and it is only when people look beyond the reflection on the mirror do they see a different perspective. This is what dreams are trying to tell you.

How do tarots work in interpreting your dreams? This is a good question popularized by many who have sought the readings of tarot cards to interpret their own dreams. As mentioned earlier, dreams and tarots share the commonality of the use of symbols. The dream symbols, together with the symbols on the tarot elicit an awakening of your subconscious and connecting it with the conscious mind. When a connection is made is the time that dreams can be understood.

Contrary to what many would have you believe, tarots do not tell you the exact meaning of your dream up front. It serves as a link between your subconscious and your conscious minds. With this link in place, you can make the relationship between the two states of mind. Tarots give you the opportunity to step into two worlds and make the connection yourself. Ultimately, it is you who come up with the meaning of your dream.

Tarots can also help you identify the type of dream you experienced. There are three common types of dreams. These are the mental dream, the physical dream, and the spiritual dream. Mental dreams reflect the actual experiences you had during the day, including the thoughts and the feelings that were elicited during the events. Physical dreams address issues concerning health or imbalances in life. If recognized earlier, this type of dream can serve as a warning signal for possible health and medical complications in the coming future. Death dreams are health dreams that are presented in a blunter manner to stun you into realizing the importance of the condition of your health. Spiritual dreams are also known s big dreams. Spiritual dreams were believed to be special messages coming from the soul to the conscious mind. This type of dream is primarily concerned with the need for spiritual guidance in your life, a need to come in contact with your true inner self and intent of gaining power and knowledge.

The tarot spread intended for dream analysis is patterned in a way that stimulates you to explore your unconscious mind and make it come to terms with your conscious. Together with the images on the tarots you’ve drawn you can meditate on a deeper meaning or theme presented in your dream. This is how tarots provide you with an interpretation of your dream.
