What Determines Our Behaviour – Genes Or Environment?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will. – Jawaharlal Nehru, former Prime Minister of India.

Much has been written and debated about what determines the behaviour of a person, genes or environment? Are our genes responsible for what we do in our day to day life? Or does environment play a dominant role in shaping our behaviour? This “nature – nurture” theory is a perennial topic of discussion.

The basic unit of heredity in an organism is its gene. Genes are responsible for passing genetic traits to the next generation. The coding sequence of genes decides what the gene does for construction and maintenance of an organism’s cells while the non- coding sequence decides when the gene is active.

The Nature Theory

Scientists of Nature Theory think that people behave as they do because of their genetic predisposition. Physical qualities like eye, hair, or skin color, body structure, diseases and characteristics like interest, personality, temperament and sexual habits are also encoded in the genes. Human behavior is less controlled by the environment of free will but more by the genes they carry. Whatever incidents occur and traits that are practiced generation after generation get imprinted on the genes and are passed on to some extent to the next generation.

The Nurture Theory

Some scientists conclude that genetic tendencies do exist, but they ultimately don’t matter because the environmental factors and their upbringing that determine people’s behaviour. A gene may increase the inclination towards a particular behaviour but it does not make people do things unless a favourable environment is provided. If an environment resisting of their genetic tendencies is provided to people, they are most likely to behave according to their upbringing.

Nature or Nurture?

Issues like criminal behavior, infidelity, sexual preferences have been ascribed by Nature theorists to genes.

“We are survival machines,” Richard Dawkins writes in The Selfish Gene, “robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes.” And “… genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or eggs..”

If we believe this, and people are no longer held accountable for their actions, how will society be possible? On the other hand can we justify criminal behavior by simply saying that increasing summer heat or solar flare leads to increasing levels of assaults and rapes, as some psychologists claim?

It is believed that as we go higher orders in species like mammals that there is a smaller role of instincts and better environmental and behavioural adaptability in the constant process of survival. Human beings have the least instincts. We have instead a great influence of our surroundings and environment substantially determines our behavior.

A study at the University of Minnesota of behaviours of identical twins reared in different homes claims that approximately seventy percent of the variation in IQ is due to genes. Others believe that isolation of twins could never be complete as they would have some social or cultural commonality and communication in their environment in this world fast becoming socially and culturally uniform.

There is increasing evidence of the interactions between nature and nurture. Genes by themselves do not ensure that a particular trait will prevail. Genes are said to be switched on or off by environmental interaction with our brain which is why yoga and meditation are said to be able to control diseases and even control or reverse some physical processes in the body.

We cannot, with the present evidence before us, conclude one way or the other on the nature vs. nurture debate. We have to try to understand the interactions between the two. There are complex relationships among genes, proteins, hormones, food, and our experiences and only further research in future will reveal the truth.

In the context of the human search for development and success, we cannot rest our future on the thesis that genes have a major role to play and our efforts will contribute little. Life coaches and business coaches who are more in favor of the nurture theory believe that the events that the individual passes through in his life time shape his perceptions, lifestyle, personality and habits. Their stand is that if freewill and strong determination is exercised, people are sure to control their genes and nurture their personality to happiness, self confidence and success.

All the best,

Transforming Bad Dreams and Nightmares Into Interesting Messages That Help You Solve Your Problems

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Bad dreams and nightmares are warnings sent by the wise unconscious mind that protects your mental health.

If you want to stop suffering when you sleep, and feeling sad when you awaken, but feel wiser with everything that you’ll learn thanks to the precious messages contained in your dreams, you have to learn the dream language.

Unpleasant and bad dreams or even frightening nightmares give you important information, preventing you from making serious mistakes, or from continuing accepting sad situations that are ruining your life.

They will be transformed into special lessons once you understand the symbolism contained in them, because they reveal to you the existence of hidden traps that must be avoided, but you cannot see.

Perhaps you are insisting on a wrong relationship, or you are making a serious mistake in your business’ projects… there are many possibilities. The point is that you are doing something bad for you (and for other people too), or not doing something that will save your life, and this is why the unconscious mind keeps showing you the truth in your dreams.

If the truth is that you are not controlling your behavior, or that you are being someone else’s victim, your dreams, which are reflecting it, cannot be pleasant.

You have to stop doing what will bring you problems in the future, or act quickly and do something very important before it is too late, and this is why the unconscious mind sends you bad dreams, showing you that you have an urgent obligation that cannot be postponed.

The unconscious mind wouldn’t send you such unpleasant messages, if they were not necessary to make you wake up, and see all the dangers you are not paying attention to.

When you regularly follow the unconscious advice though, you’ll perceive that all dream messages are very interesting and helpful. They show you solutions that you have never considered when thinking alone, helping you solve all your problems without frustrations.

The dream images will change as you transform your personality thanks to the unconscious’ guidance, because they will start reflecting the positive truth of your spiritual evolution as you learn how to be wise.

Besides that, after learning the dream language and having a constant communication with the unconscious mind, you’ll have advanced lessons.

This means that you may see a terrible nightmare, which will be only a representation of what could happen in the future if you don’t do what the unconscious mind showed you in a previous dream, so that you may understand the importance of the unconscious’ guidance, and what exists behind the apparent reality.

The unconscious mind will explain how bad the consequences of your irresponsibility in certain circumstances would be, while you did what was right by obeying the instructions you received in a dream, without understanding how dangerous the situation you were in really was.

Your teacher will show you the entire truth that you could not see from the beginning, and a lot more.

Once you learn the dream language all dreams are for you very important lessons, even if they are bad, because they stop reflecting your own mistakes, but they show you things that you ignore, and that you could never discover alone.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung’s research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

Parallel Perceptions and the Representation of the Environment – How the Reality Gains it Shape

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Due to the indirect perception of the environment after the content generative cycle, such factors as cultural heritage, personal history and responses that define the characteristics of personality, the reality as is perceived has a vast variety of differences, although the origins of the perception of the environment is relatively the same.

Consider that we were both watching a black feather pointing up from a piece of gum. The feather itself is hardly inside our brains, as but the photons that have originated from it have resulted to a relatively the same portrait of it to appear in our conscious mind. The feather has not also been duplicated in the manner that there were suddenly two feathers, but the image we are both witnessing is a parallel perception of the same phenomenon.

As it turns out, I do not know the name of the bird the feather has been de-attached, but instead somewhere in your childhood you had learned to recognize it, and now intuitively know as it associates to your mind from this type of stimulus that it is a crow’s feather. Thus, although we were watching the same feather, the semantic content of it was relatively different even at this point, as the content generative cycle had lead to different type of information to be attached to it. And of course after you have told me that it is a crow’s feather, I will then be able to recognize it as such in the future, and thus a meme that carry the units of cultural information was passed on to my sub-conscious, developing my intuition and condition me to know that in reality such a feather is a crow’s feather.

People in developed nations have mostly abandoned the worship of the sun as a god, but rewind couple of millennia and somewhere on this world you would have been insane to suggest otherwise. The observance of the same phenomenon, the sun, is a parallel perception between us and them, but the contents conditioned for our brains to be associated in this manner have radically altered since the Maya.

Words and sentences in themselves discriminate the described phenomena by outlining them to have these and these properties. Although we are observing the same phenomena, the semantic contents of them can be distinctively different between persons. No matter how you or I say it, the formation of absolute knowledge is most of the time utterly impossible for our kind since we have extremely limited and subjective capacity in our brains. But as we are usually speaking on parallel perceptions on phenomenal matters, whether fully representational or having an origin in the cosmos, are the ways how you or I discriminate the phenomena to outline different properties worth fighting over, must we say that something has to be perceived as such and such, or are we just spending time over furious babbles. When perceiving the same feather, which is the correct one?

4 Human Characteristics

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Every human being has a different nature. When he was in a new community, not a few individuals who have difficulty to adapt because he confronted by the diversity of these properties. But do you know that from dozens of human nature, there are actually only 4 basic character of human beings.

Then if all these characters, and how the characteristics…..?

This is 4 Basic of Human Characteristic, based on a psychology book (Personality Traits) which I read several years ago.

Basic first human character is the sanguinis.

Someone who has high confidence, and easily adapt to other people can be said as a sanguinis. Usually someone who has sanguinis character, likes to gather with other such as have party and make lively situation. The appropriate job for sanguinis is marketing or public relation

After sanguinis, second characteristic is melancholy.

As we know the word melancholy likely associated with the “graceful”, then so does the melancholic person. Melancholy is often interpreted as the opposite character sanguinis. Someone who is melancholy tend to prefer solitude and became Sensitive. In this case sensitive is referred is to have a high enough sensitivity to a condition. It is not surprising that a melancholic woman could tear while seeing the movie drama. Whereas in the physical aspect, the oval-faced man could be classified into this category. Furthermore, the appropriate job of melancholy is a doctor or a psychologist.

Third Type of human character, is phlegmatis.

If you always show calmly and peace you could be categorized as individuals who have plegmatis. A plegmatis usually do not like conflict and tend to shy away from conflict. Besides that he also tend to be less expressive. And physically they usually have a round face.

The last characteristic is Koleris,

A leader is usually tend to have the basic character koleris. You remember with Margaret Teacher Not. A woman Prime Minister of Egypt, known for his leadership success. As a prime minister, Mrs. Teacher Margaret could be categorized as a Koleris.

A Koleris is known to have talent as a leader because of firmness in determining that there was something about him. But unfortunately the other side Koleris people have a weakness that is likely to make comment. The most people for this character usually has has a square face / jaw bones strong.

Although fundamentally human character can be divided into 4, but the psychology of the individual may not only consist of 1 character. For further review actually, every individual consists of more than one character. You would never find someone with one character. Usually there are more than 2 character in person. You must also often not heard the word “emotional”. People who are emotionally in psychology tend to have 2 basic character of the opposite melancholic and sanguinis.

The person is usually able to easily demonstrate changes something on his faces. He could cry when facing sad condition on the other hand they will give nice laugh in funny situation. In addition, emotional person will looks more aggressive.

Whatever type of character of human nature, either melancholy, sanguinis, plegmatis, or the melancholy. Of course it has its own weaknesses and strengths. Most importantly perhaps it would be better if we can have a mature understanding of it in everyday social intercourse.

Then approximately, what it contained the basic character within each of us…? For a more objective answer would not hurt you to ask your friends or your closest family.

Healing Trauma in the Eternal Now

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

“Everything is perfectly managed in the unborn.” Bankei

Nondual wisdom reveals that our unborn nature is the source and substance of all that is born into finite reality. All of our experience is an expression of this nature, a primordial awareness that accepts all forms of its expression, no matter how pleasurable or painful. This awareness is unconditional love as it equally accepts the most sublime ecstasy and one of the most painful of all human experience, trauma. It is only in this embrace of the manifest by the unmanifest that true transformation or healing takes place.

All of the suffering that is brought to psychotherapy is a confused or contracted expression of the unconditional love that we are. When suffering is embraced by this love, the confusion is clarified, the contraction is relaxed, and we are released into simple presence. Once awareness awakens to itself in a human being, it is possible to liberate all forms of confusion through this meeting, including those resulting from trauma. Left to itself, the ego-personality will endlessly repeat trauma or try to hide from it. Only the unconditional love of conscious awareness can truly embrace it. Adyashanti (2002) beautifully describes love returning for itself in all its forms:

“It is when awareness somehow meets itself as Love, when all experience is touched directly by that Love, that it is dissolved, freed, healed, transmuted and transformed. When experience is met with full acceptance without any resistance, it reveals itself to be the same Love. Nothing survives this meeting. Nothing stands up to the presence of being and remains.”

“We naturally move away from pain. But there is also a movement of intelligence within all beings that is moving toward what is, without needing to fix or change anything. It’s the coming together of awareness and it’s experience that is freeing; that is Love. That is Love returning for itself. And it has no motive other than union. This touching without motive is what is transformative.”

Transformation takes place in the present moment. Our past traumas can be resolved only in the here and now. This resolution involves an open receptivity to what appears each moment without any form of resistance, interpretation or identification. By fully allowing what is, moment-by-moment, all experience finds its natural resolution.

When it comes to healing trauma, however, additional skills may be required. Bessel Van der Kolk, MD (1999), a leading trauma researcher, defined trauma as “the inability to be present with what is in the here and now.” When we have experienced trauma, it tends to pull us out of the here and now into there and then. It returns us to repetitive re-experiencing or re-enactment of the past trauma. Trauma actually destabilizes the nervous system in a way that disrupts our natural ability to be in the here and now. Paradoxically, healing trauma requires being present with what is in the moment.

Therefore, healing trauma usually requires therapeutic methods that can facilitate being present with the nervous system’s experience of trauma in the body. And, this process is greatly enhanced by the conscious recognition of awareness. By its nature, awareness is present with whatever appears within it. When we are conscious as awareness, and our trauma arises, we are not identified with it; we are not fixated and therefore no longer at the effect of it.

There is naturally a being present with, or letting be, which allows a relaxation of the contracted, traumatic energy. Thus, there is a synergy between the conscious recognition of awareness, which facilitates a skillful method, and the method, which facilitates being present with trauma. This synergy results not only in the healing of trauma, but can also result in liberation from suffering itself.

It is important to note however, that when a therapist abides as primordial awareness, they will spontaneously utilize whatever techniques or methods they have acquired. They are also able to fore go all protocols and just be with what is. Awareness can and does use whatever is necessary to awaken itself, but nothing is essential other than awakened consciousness itself. A therapeutic method is involved in creating true freedom only to the extent that consciousness is awakened in the one using it.

Dream Interpretation – The Difference Between Theories and Real Translation of the Dreams’ Meaning

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Many different civilizations, which belonged to different historical times, have proclaimed that our dreams have a very important meaning, besides metaphysical dimensions.

However, nothing was clear, and there was no theory that could be considered to be the absolute truth about the meaning of dreams.

As a matter of fact, if we want to understand what means dream interpretation really according to the scientific method, which is the only correct one, we have to first of all forget all the known theories about the meaning of dreams, because they are all false. There is no base for their arguments. They don’t prove anything, and they don’t explain anything.

They are merely personal opinions of the dream interpreters, who may be based on scientific knowledge, however are not based on serious research.

A scientific research is based on the comparison of facts and reactions, on the reproduction of a certain effect due to the comprehension of its mechanism, and on many other objective proofs of the value of the discoveries made thanks to this study.

The scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by the psychiatrist Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, is the only method that deeply analyzes the dream language, which is made with images instead of words.

The real translation of the meaning of dreams is given through the translation of the symbolism contained in the dream messages, according to the logic and to the particular definitions given to the dream symbols by the unconscious mind that produces our dreams, and is therefore, the dream author.

He, the author, must give us the meaning of his own language, so that we may understand his words. We cannot discover what the dream author is trying to tell us if we try to guess based on our personal opinion, the same way that we cannot translate a document written in a foreign language based on suppositions.

The difference between dream theories and real dream translation is so huge that this comparison denounces a very big irony!

Only Carl Jung studied the unconscious language deeply enough, through very long scientific research, finding real solutions, giving true explanations to the world, and curing many people with this knowledge.

Continuing his research, I could not only prove that he was right and relate his discoveries to recent discoveries made in many different scientific fields, like biology and astronomy, but I was also able to prove to the world that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams is even wiser than what Jung believed with the knowledge he had.

I was able to transform his complicated method of dream interpretation, which depended on the analysis of too many dreams for a long period of time and on many comparisons, into an instant and exact translation from images into words.

But the most important of all is that today you can immediately understand how to find your mental health, transform your personality and attain wisdom translating the meaning of your dreams, because I managed to explain to you how to put into practice the guidance you receive in the dream images in order to have immediate positive results.

Behavioral Psychology and Dream Interpretation – Coaxing and Influencing Other People

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

You’ll manage to coax someone to trust you if you follow a few basic behavioral rules. In order to do so, you have to study behavioral psychology, or behaviorism.

You can learn even more, if you learn what exists inside the human psyche thanks to the vision given to you due to the results of long researches conducted inside the human brain through scientific dream interpretation.

This way you’ll understand why the human being has certain reactions, and therefore, how to provoke, or avoid them.

If you are imagining that you’ll be able to manipulate other people and oblige them to do what you want, you have to understand that this is not what you should desire first of all, and secondly, you have to understand that you are too ignorant to know what will be good for you and for other people, which means that you cannot decide what you should coax them to do based on your opinion.

It doesn’t matter if you are only trying to sell your products. You have to understand behavioral psychology if you want to coax someone in a way that will be positive for them. This is important if you want to have repeat customers, who will always trust you.

You should learn how to translate the meaning of your own dreams, and have the guidance of the wise unconscious mind showing you what to do, with my dynamic method of dream translation.

Even by being able to translate the meaning of a few dream symbols, you’ll already be helped by this knowledge, the same way that you are already helped with the knowledge you have of a foreign language when you visit a country where it is spoken, and you are able to communicate with other people, even though you cannot speak it fluently.

Exactly the same happens with the dream language. In the beginning you’ll only understand the meaning of a few dream symbols, and the general intention of the unconscious mind that produces your dreams. Later, you’ll understand it completely and you’ll be able to immediately translate all dream images into words that you can understand.

However, the translation of only a few dream symbols will already show you many things about how to coax and influence other people, in a way that will be beneficial for them and for you too.

You’ll realize that you have to:

- Create trust and confidence by being sincere and helpful
- Eliminate all fears by repeatedly showing understanding and sense of responsibility
- Focus on benefits and positive results for the other person

Begin creating the right atmosphere for easily coaxing everyone to trust you by following these basic rules. You have a lot more to learn though, because our personality is shaped by the psychological type we belong to.

The unconscious mind will show you how to persuade someone to accept your ideas and plans, by explaining to you to which psychological type they belong.

This means that you’ll be able to predict their reactions, and show the behavior they admire.

After learning behavioral psychology according to the unconscious’ guidance, you’ll learn how to influence other people positively, helping them feel comfortable with you, easily agree with your conclusions, and prompting follow your advice.

Virtual Group Work and DID – Raising Awareness For Psychotherapists

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

The pain and sadness was evident on the face of 72 year old Ruth. After years and years of struggling, she had finally been seen by a professional who recognized her symptoms as DID and healing had progressed in an astounding way every since. “So much of my life was wasted. What do you need to know so that others do not have to wait to get the help they need?” she asked our therapists’ group. Like Ruth many suffer in silence, their condition exacerbated by inappropriate medications, professionals that don’t understand or believe them, and a constant fear that they are really ‘crazy’.

As a reaction to repeated abuse some children begin to create imaginary characters to hold the brunt of the trauma. Thus begins a lifetime of assigning pain and memories to ‘others’ so the ‘host’ no longer has to feel. An entire system of alters is created and the ‘craziness’ begins as the adult switches or dissociates. This compartmentalization helps the person survive the brutality of their experience.

Virtual group work is no surprise to those of us who have worked with DID clients. They bring with them a whole group, in their heads, made up of different ages and genders and even different mental health issues! At some point these ‘individual’ participants begin to interact with each other and then group dynamics takes on a whole new meaning!

But let me back up a bit for those of you who may be skeptical. We have all had clients who have experienced childhood abuse or trauma. As adults their symptoms are very much like PTSD and we comfortably begin to help them with their memories, hyper vigilance and anxiety. After awhile we may notice that our usual tools are not working as well and relief is temporary for the client. Medications are not helpful. Suicidal thoughts or self-injury behaviors seem to come out of nowhere and then suddenly disappear.

Strangely these clients are honest about substance abuse describing it as a means to “shut myself up” or “explain my quirky behavior”. Some clients can seem completely functional and professional in certain areas like work. Their ability to focus is often exceptional. Still, at other times there will be an outburst of radically different behavior that is out of character. Some of these behaviors might involve cruising for sexual partners, child like behavior such as climbing a tree or suddenly exhibiting an expertise or talent they are unable to demonstrate at other times.

Another clue that DID is present is a very high tolerance of pain. A client was in a car accident but only went to the doctor days later because the lawyer requested the consultation. The doctor was astonished to find my client’s chest severely bruised and she refused painkillers. She didn’t understand what the fuss was about. This is tied to the client’s excellent ability to compartmentalize thoughts and feelings. You might also notice headaches or a sense of dizziness proceeds behavior changes or panic attacks. Your client may be switching to another alter.

Here are some clues that you are dealing with a ‘group’. Clients will talk about constant chatter, running commentary or arguments in their heads. Journal entries may have noticeable changes in handwriting. E-mails or phone messages may have different vocabulary or tone. Stories of abuse will be shared one week and completely denied the next even apologizing for wasting your time.

It is true you cannot safely diagnose DID until you have witnessed an alternate personality. It helps to use the DES questionnaire for more indicators. Unofficially, when my client politely leans towards me and with a sweep of her hand circles her face and asks me “Are you telling me there is really nothing going on in your head?” and they are astonished that I live with such ‘emptiness’, I have a good clue that this client has been dealing with a life long, complicated and busy system of alters. Then I can begin the ‘group’ work that will lead to the empty contentment I so enjoy myself!

How to Know If Someone is Mentally Ill – Signs of Behavioral Abnormalities

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Mental illnesses are sneaky diseases that don´t appear on in the conscious surface and that are not apparent immediately in the patients´environment. However, various behavioral abnormalities gradually take off their mask of “normal person”, reflecting their neurosis, psychosis, schizophrenia or similar mental illness.

If you want to understand whether someone is mentally ill before waiting for various facts that will reflect psychological abnormalities in order to verify who they really are, you have to learn how to analyze the human behavior and observe the signs that indicate lack of balance, and absurdity.

This is very important, because you may trust a schizophrenic without knowing what you are doing, and decide to get married to a person that will only torture you, or have a negotiation with someone who is totally absurd and will ruin your business, but may mislead you with false impressions of sensibility and honesty.

There is a very big danger concerning business relationships with people you don´t really know, especially because mentally ill patients never show signs of abnormality in their work, but only in the moments when they are alone, or when they are with their family, and so on. So, it´s harder to discover signs of schizophrenia in a business partner than to perceive them in a future husband or wife, for example.

However, the bitter truth is that if you are not well informed, you will never be able to perceive important signs of abnormal behavior in a certain person, even if you are near them for many hours, because they can hide their absurdity from your eyes very easily. They act like normal people in too many ways, being absurd in only a few points that you may never notice before having a tragic surprise.

The details that reflect abnormal behavior and work like visible signs for the eyes that have learned how to recognize them are many, depending on the psychological type of each person. This means that if you want to have a total vision about the behavioral abnormalities that reflect psychological disorders, you have to learn everything about the psychological content of the human being.

This is possible thanks to the vision given to you by the scientific method of dream interpretation, since it shows you an internal map of the functionalism of the human brain and psyche, explaining you how the human behavior is determined by the various characteristics of each one´s personality.

You learn how to prevent the craziness contained a priori in the wild side of your conscience to invade the human side of your conscience.

There is too much absurdity accumulated in the anti-conscience, our primitive conscience, and this is why everyone is too vulnerable to mental illnesses.

By learning how to prevent and also cure all mental illnesses, you´ll be able to analyze everyone´s behavior, even if you won´t care about learning how to translate your dreams according to the scientific method.

If you care about interpreting your own dreams, the unconscious mind will give you objective information about other people in a symbolic form.

You only have to learn the dream language. This is not difficult as I have transformed dream interpretation based on long comparisons of dreams, into a fast and instant dream translation from images into words. Since I give you the meaning of the most important dream symbols, which you recognize in various dreams, you can discover the meaning of the other components that are not part of the symbol collection.

What Are Dream Symbols? How to Translate Their Meaning and Transform Your Personality

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The dream language is based on symbols. A symbol is an image that gives you an idea about something else. This is why in a dream an apple, for example, doesn’t represent a fruit, but wisdom, since this is the symbolic meaning which is connected with its image.

The connection of this meaning with the image of an apple was formed in the unconscious mind that produces dreams, and also gives us religious, artistic and philosophical inclinations.

When you learn how to translate the meaning of your dreams into sentences that you can understand, you discover that a simple image gives you information about many things, because a symbol represents a huge content.

When you think about the apple as a fruit, a singular object that has an ephemeral existence, and you compare it with wisdom, which is a superior and complex capacity to judge reality after analyzing all its details, you understand the dimension that the apple acquires when it has this symbolic meaning.

Now, you may be thinking that wisdom can simply be defined by only one word; however there are dream symbols that have a complex definition, like the meaning of the snake.

The snake represents a bad event that will correct a serious mistake and work like medicine for the dreamer, besides all the painful situations that he or she will have to face. It will prevent him from continuing to make the same mistakes, and facing their consequences in the future.

This means that the snake is in fact the misfortune that will save the dreamer, since it puts an obstacle to the continuation of something bad for him, helping him correct his mistakes, and adopt a different attitude in life.

This is a definition that cannot be represented by only one word…

The same happens with the meaning of the spider, and many other dream symbols.

The spider is the hidden danger that you cannot see. It represents something very important that you have to understand or to do, otherwise you’ll have many problems.

It is the obligation that cannot be postponed, the heroic attitude that cannot be avoided, or the indispensable solution that cannot delay, because the dreamer (or his reputation) is in danger.

Many times a very small dream scene is transformed into many pages of explanations, which give a lot of information to the dreamer, when we translate its symbolism.

So, if you see a dream with an apple, a snake and a spider, you would have a very serious warning which would basically mean that: you have to be wise (apple) and adopt the right attitude without delay (spider), otherwise you’ll have to pass through many painful experiences (snake).

Now, we have to connect the dream symbols with the dreamer’s life in order to give him or her clear advice so that he or she may transform his personality in order to be balanced and happy, depending on the unconscious’ messages.

Let’s suppose that the dreamer is too lazy and ineffective. Therefore, the exact translation of the symbolism for him or her would be:

You have to be wise (apple) and stop being lazy and ineffective without delay (spider), otherwise you’ll have to pass through many painful experiences in order to transform your personality into a sensible one, and learn how to be a responsible person who works, and does all their obligations, because if you keep avoiding to work without thinking about the consequences of your irresponsibility, you’ll face many problems in the future (snake).
