Evelyn Duesbury told me on the POPPOFF show that, in order to understand what dreams mean, you have to know how to interpret them. So she has come up with the PMID . . . Personalized Method for Interpreting Dreams.
She has authored several books including “The Counselor’s Guide for Facilitating the Interpretation of Dreams.”
She has been aiding patients/clients and counselors to understand their dreams. Here are six steps to get your own PMID.
1) Connect your previous day (often the day before) events to the dream to discover the theme of the dream. The events may appear in either symbolic or literal terms. Write down the appropriate events and record when they occurred.
2) Connect your previous day thoughts to your dream to detect which thoughts may have prompted this dream’s responses. Like events, your thoughts may appear in your dream in wither literal or symbolic terms. Write “I thought” statements and record when you thought them.
3) Select and define major dream phases and symbols from your write-up of this dream to discover the dream’s personalized meanings. Consider effects of your events and thoughts of the day before your dream and earlier experiences on the meaning of each major dream phase and symbol. The general definition for phrases as used in this step is “a string of words.” The strings of words can be phrases, clauses, or whole sentences.
4) Compare your emotions in your dream with your pre-dream, waking-life emotions to discover whether your waking-life emotions accurately to reflect how you feel about the issues in this dream. Note, the issue may be a relationship issue. What differences, if any, do you find between your emotions in your dream and your waking-life emotions? It is useful to periodically review your emotions in your dreams regarding the main issue or relationship at hand.
5) Explore your dream for possible solutions to problems, including changing (or affirming) your thoughts, attitudes, or behaviors. Consider your response to each PMID model step, including Step 6, as you search for solutions and suggestions in this dream. Give primary attention to the power of your thoughts before your dream (PMID Step 2) to act as questions that your dream answers.
6) Explore your dream for family and other relationship systems perspectives, which are influences arising from reactions to family and other major relationships, both past and current. Use these perspectives to discover whether this dream reflects your reactions during experiences with family members or other important people in your life. Compare and comment on your dreaming and waking-life reactions to the primary relationships in this dream.
So, who knows what can come of knowing what your dreams mean. Perhaps you can use it to be better at whatever you choose. You can also check out Evelyn Duesbury’s website at www.yourguidingdreams.com.
