Throw out any dream dictionaries lurking on your bookshelves. The symbols in your dream are all about you. So how can you discover their meaning? Here’s an easy, fun, and accurate way.

Imagine your dream symbol is a tennis ball, for example.

Ask, “What is the personality of a tennis ball?”

Answer fast. Don’t allow time to think.

You might say, “Bouncy, happy, team-orientated.”

I might say, “Can’t make up its mind – back and forward, back and forward.”

Someone else might say, “Catch me if you can!”

When you do this fast, your unconscious mind comes up with the right answer for you. So YOUR tennis ball dream might be about bouncy team work, mine might be about indecision, and someone else’s might hint at dodge tactics.

Build your own dream dictionary each time you do this exercise and discover the meaning of your personal dream symbols.
