Patch opened up by telling us about his new Patreon! Since our listeners and social media followers have deluged him with requests to analyze their dreams, he is now directing everyone to this platform. It’s the best way to both support our podcast and learn how to go deeper and learn to analyze your own dreams. Once we broke the news, we dove straight into this week’s topic: Patch’s 3 Rules for Dream Analysis.
Rules for Dream Analysis, Rule 1: Dreams Are Always Symbolic
The most common dream our TikTok followers ask about involves infidelity by their partner. As in our sex dreams episode, Patch pointed out that these dreams should rarely be taken literally. Sometimes, they could be precognitive. However, the safest place to start in dream analysis is by assuming that the sexual elements of these dreams are metaphorical. These dreams are not about your significant other – rather, they’re about you. Your partner or the cheating could be the metaphorical elements. You feel betrayed, but what in your life is betraying you right now? Your body, the food you eat, or perhaps a relationship with a family member or a friend?
Dream Analysis Rule 2: Dreams Always Add Information
If you analyze your dream, but don’t learn anything new about yourself, you’re doing it wrong! Dreams do not exist for us to affirm ourselves. Carl Jung taught that dreams exist in order to help us improve what we are lacking in our lives. Patch used the metaphor of driving too close to the edge of the road. Sometimes we will inevitably wind up in the ditch. Our dreams seek to correct our courses and steer us closer to the middle of the road, so we won’t drive off the edge.
Sara added that we all wield masculine and feminine energy. Our subconscious uses dreams to help us put those two sides in harmony with each other.
Rules for Dream Analysis, Rule 3: A Dream That Goes Unapplied Is Wasted
Sara then recalled a listener who had the same recurring dream. Every time she had the dream, she analyzed it, but did not apply what it was trying to teach her. Thus, she never made any progress as a person from her analysis. Why put in the work to learn if you don’t apply the lesson? You can’t let your fear or doubt get in the way. Tune in! Learn how to analyze your own dreams right here!
