Dream Interpretation: The Meaning of a Quest
Come, understand the meaning of your dreams.
Dreams are a connection between our waking lives and the rich, mysterious world of our subconscious minds. Our dreams reveal our deepest hopes and wishes, our strengths and weaknesses, our struggles and victories, our desires and our needs. In short, our dreams show us everything about ourselves, sometimes even when we aren’t aware of certain aspects of our personality.
The symbolic language of our dreams is individual and unique to the dreamer. The symbols you see in your dreams are trying to tell you a story and apply exclusively to your waking life. So, when it comes to interpreting your dreams there is no better expert than yourself.
Sometimes my interpretations won’t seem to apply to you, the people around you or your current situation. If this happens, focus on your symbol; on its own and within the context of your dream. Look for clues about the symbol’s meaning to you and its application to your personal circumstances.
The Meaning of a Quest in Dreams
The freedictionary.com defines a quest as “the act or an instance of seeking something or an expedition in order to perform a prescribed feat.” A quest is a journey and the purpose of that journey is to search or to seek something.
To dream that you are on a quest may be symbolic of your journey through your waking life. Perhaps the quest of your dreams is a symbol of your process of self discovery. Maybe the quest points toward changes made in your waking life. Have you become more empowered or accomplished? Are you moving closer to the achievement of your life’s goals?
Sometimes the quest is difficult and fraught with dangers. A quest can include the unexpected, the mysterious and the frightening. In dreams, each hurdle you overcome, each trial that you conquer symbolizes growth in your waking life. Take stock of that growth and rejoice in your accomplishments.
Dreams are a window onto a hidden, secret part of us. Learn to look through that window and you’ll be amazed! Understanding what we see, in our dream symbols, allows us an opportunity to strengthen our self knowledge and to live richer, more fulfilling lives.
