Oneiromancy is the scientific name for the divinatory art of interpreting dreams and nightmares. It is an ancient "science" that has been practiced in nearly every part of the workd by Witches and non- Witches alike.
When properly interpreted, the images that dance in our heads while we sleep can reveal the future or warn us of impending disasters and health problems, either by actual or symbolic pictures.
First of all, examine the dream to see if it fits any of the events of the preceeding day. This will
explain a few of your dreams. If this fails...
Determine whether the dream is literal or symbolic. Literal - one in which the main dream character
or image is a real person or thing in your life, or on your mind, at the time. If this makes sense, you
may have found the key...if fails, obvisiously...
Symbolic - one in which the dream character and images can not be taken literally. As a real person or thing. Then the image is that of an "aspect" of you, the dreamer. Then the ancient wisdom of the Universal Symbols should be applied.
Recurring dreams one of the following (generally,)
OOBE - awareness is all-encompassing, you see in front and behind, above and below and on the sides all at the same time. Do not attempt to interpret an OOBE as you would a dream.
1. Dreams where your subconscious sorts out the events of the day, or wrestles with a problem you are constantly dealing with.
2. Dreams where you astrally project yourself into another plane or dimension. Sometimes they are just for fun, other times you are there for a purpose.
3. Prophetic dreams where you see events of a possible future. If the dreams involve yourself, you are capable of changing that future if you so desire. If it involves others that are not close to you, you will have a hell of a time convincing them to wrestle with what they believe to be fate. Prophetic dreams can also be dreams of past events or future circumstances.
Dreamscape: If you have a problem for which you can find no conscious solution, you can program your mind before you sleep to work out the difficulty and present you with the best alternative. Likewise, if someone is keeping information from you for whatever reason that you feel you must know, dreamscaping can bring you that knowledge. Finally, if you consciously know you are dreaming while you are in that dream, you can control that scene, making it go where you want it to. Tarot cards and runes are excellent devices for dream work. Silver has personally found the runes excellent door-openers to the unconscious during dreamtime.
