心理學家解析九大常見夢境:墜落,飛翔,找不到廁所等
許多心理學家已經放棄解夢了,但我們採訪了一位還在堅持的人。
Psychologist Ian Wallace has interpreted over 150,000 dreams during more than 30 years of practice.
在30多年的實踐中,心理學家伊恩·華萊士(Ian Wallace)已經解讀過超過15萬個夢境。
He helped us compile a list of nine of the most common dreams, their meanings, and what action you should take in waking life.
他幫助我們列出了九個最常見的夢、它們的含義以及在現實生活中人們應該怎樣做。
9. Finding an unused room
發現一間閒置的房間What it means: The rooms in a house represent different aspects of your character. So finding an unused room suggests that you're discovering a talent that you weren't aware of before.
含義:房子裏的房間代表了你性格中的不同特質。所以夢見自己找到一個空置不用的房間,意味着你正在發現自己之前沒有察覺到的一種才能。What you should do: The more time that you spend exploring your dormant talents, the more likely that you will find other doors opening for you in waking life, says Wallace.
現實啓示:華萊士說,你花越多的時間去探索未發掘的才能,在現實生活中你越可能發現有其他的大門爲你敞開。
8. Out-of-control vehicle
車子失控
What it means: The car represents your ability to make consistent progress toward a specific objective. In waking life, you may feel that you don't have enough control over your road to success.
含義:汽車代表了你朝着某個特定目標不斷前進的能力。在現實生活中,你可能覺得無法完全掌控自己的成功之路。
What you should do: Instead of trying to over control the situation, Wallace says to relax your grip and allow your fundamental instincts and drives to steer the best path for you.
現實啓示:華萊士說,不要試圖掌控住整個形勢,反而應當放鬆控制,讓原始的本能和慾望引導你走向最合適的道路。
7. Falling
墜落
What it means: Feeling yourself falling in a dream indicates that you are hanging on too tightly to a particular situation in waking life. You need to relax and let go of it.
含義:夢見自己墜落說明在現實生活中你對某件事情太過緊張。你需要懂得放鬆和放手。
What you should do: Rather than being so concerned about losing control, sometimes you just have to trust in yourself and others by allowing everything to fall naturally into place.
現實啓示:與其如此擔心局面脫出自己的掌控,有時候你只需要相信自己和別人,讓事情順其自然地發展就好。
6. Flying
飛翔
What it means: Being able to fly suggests that you have released yourself from circumstances that have been weighing you down in waking life.
含義:夢見自己能夠飛翔說明你將自己從現實生活中的某些負擔中解放出來了。
What you should do: Although you may regard this feeling of liberation as just luck or coincidence, it is usually because you have managed to make a weighty decision or risen above the limitations of a heavy responsibility, says Wallace.
現實啓示:華萊士說,儘管你可能覺得這種解放的感覺只是運氣或巧合,但這往往是因爲你做出了一個重大決定或是擺脫了一份重任的限制。
5. Unprepared for an exam
裸考
What it means: Exams are how we judge our ability to perform, so this indicates that you are critically examining your own performance in waking life.
含義:考試是我們判斷自己執行能力的方式。所以夢到毫無準備地去考試說明在現實生活中,你正批判性地審視自身的表現。
What you should do: Rather than immersing yourself in endless self-examination, the real test of your character is being able to accept your talents by celebrating your knowledge and achievements, instead of constantly judging them.
現實啓示:不要沉浸在無休止的自我反省中,對你的性格的真正考驗是能夠通過獲取知識和成績來肯定自己的才能,而不是一味地評判自己的能力。
4. Naked in public
在公共場所一絲不掛
What it means: We choose our clothes to present a particular image to the people around us. Being naked in public suggests that there is a situation in waking life that is making you feel vulnerable and exposed.
含義:我們挑選的穿着是爲了向周圍的人們展示出某種特定的形象。夢見自己在公共場所赤身裸體說明在現實生活中出現了令你覺得十分脆弱、孤立無助的情況。
What you should do: Although it might be potentially embarrassing, sometimes you just have to open up to others so they can see your real talents.
現實啓示:儘管敞開心扉、讓別人得以認識到你真正的纔能有可能令人困窘,但有時候你確實應該這樣做。
3. Unable to find a toilet
找不到廁所
What it means: Toilets are what we use to cleanly respond to some of our most fundamental needs, so there is an issue in waking life where you are finding it a challenge to clearly express your own needs.
含義:廁所是我們用來解決一些我們最基本的需求的地方,因此如果夢見找不到廁所,說明在現實生活中,你發現清楚地表達出自己的需求很困難。
What you should do: Spend more time looking after your own needs, rather than the needs of others.
現實啓示:與其多花時間關心別人的需求,不如多花時間滿足自己的需求。
2. Teeth falling out
掉牙
What it means: Your teeth symbolize how confident and powerful you feel, so some situation is causing your confidence to crumble in waking life.
含義:牙齒代表着你對自己擁有的信心和強大程度,所以夢見掉牙說明現實生活中發生了令你的自信崩潰的情況。
What you should do: Rather than seeing this situation as something that will leave you powerless, just try calmly thinking over the facts and relish it as a challenge.
現實啓示:與其將這種情況看作是你無能爲力的事,不如試着冷靜地思考實際情況,將它視爲挑戰並享受其中。
1. Being chased
被追趕
What it means: There is an issue in your waking life that you want to confront, but you don't know how to.
含義:現實生活中存在你想面對的問題,但你又不知該如何面對。
What you should do: This issue is often a great opportunity for you to pursue a particular personal ambition. Although they may seem scary, your pursuers are actually bringing your attention to your unrealized talents in your own pursuit of fulfillment.
現實啓示:夢見被追趕往往是你實現某個個人抱負的大好機會。那些追擊者可能看着很可怕,但它們實際上能讓你注意到你在追求自我實現過程中並未察覺到的才能。
