Interpreting Dreams – An Introduction – Why we dream, the meaning of dreams and understanding the symbolism of dream

Dreams have a high significance throughout many cultures which has not been lost over time. But why are dreams so fascinating?

Every night we dream for about 1.5 hours. During that time there is a fascinating interaction between our physical and mental processes which allows us to look into our mind and subconscious. Our heartrate can increase and we produce hormones. Scientists have not yet been able to tap into these processes so they have to rely on the memory report: the dream.

Interpreting our dreams is not an attempt to predict the future but is much more about understanding our subconscious processes and problems.

Would it not be wonderful if interpreting your dreams could help you to understand yourself better?

This handbook will not only help to give you the background knowledge you need but it will also explain why we dream and how to interpret your dream symbols.

About the author of this book, Evelyn Schneider-Mark:

During her studies to be a Naturopath and the subsequent study of psychology, over 30 years ago, she has been interested in marginal medical, psychological, spiritual and esoteric subjects, which are often hidden from the main stream, but which are scientifically well accepted. She teaches this knowledge, not only to her students, but also reaches a wider audience in Germany with her various publications.

In her books, she writes about subjects, the positive effects of which are widely unknown and on which she can pass on her own experiences. All of her publications are based on indisputable scientific facts, while also encompassing her own very personal experiences and knowledge.
