Dream Interpretation

I’ve never really understood some of the meanings that people find in dreams. I know if you dream about certain symbols they’re supposed to mean certain things, like if you dream about getting a package in a dream it’s supposed to mean that you have hidden creative energy that needs to be expressed.

For me more often than not my dreams don’t seem to be symbolic but memories of things, or the symbolism is something which means something only to me. For the longest time I dreamed about interacting with characters from Joss Whedon’s Buffyverse, and the characters were representing their archetypes, if Willow was involved she meant I was interacting with someone who was a geek, for example.

Perhaps dream interpretation is open to interpretation?
