The Meaning of Dreams and The Symbolic Unconscious Messages
Friday, May 18th, 2012
Most dreams reflect your psychological system. In order to understand the meaning of dreams you have to learn the meaning of the most important dream symbols, which were discovered by Carl Jung and by me, who continued his research. You also have to understand the unconscious logic.
The unconscious mind produces your dreams giving you symbolic messages that follow another reasoning system. The dream logic is totally different from the logic of your conscious mind.
I will give you an example using a sentence for a dreamer’s dream. I don’t need to give you information about her daily life for this lesson. So, I can use this sentence without exposing the dreamer, and show you how you must look at the dream images. The only detail about her life story that you should learn is that:
‘This dream is talking about fake fingernails because I’m a nail biter and put them on so I won’t be embarrassed of my nails.’
Understanding the dream language is like understanding the symbolic language of artistic expressions. The unconscious mind uses images in an artistic way, in order to give you symbolic messages. Their symbolism is based on poetry and philosophy. The unconscious mind is a very serious doctor and also an excellent artist.
The unconscious mind is God’s mind, and this is why it also works as a spiritual guide, besides being a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
Here is the dream:
Â
‘My pinky fingernail had come off.’
Dream Translation:
The nail in dreams represents aggression.
Your fingers in dreams are movements that prepare your actions.
The fact that your pinky fingernail had come off means that now that you are following dream therapy your actions are becoming calm instead of being aggressive like before.
Up to the moment only your little finger’s nail was removed by the treatment, what means that only a little aggression was removed from your actions, but with time all the aggression that characterizes your actions will be removed.
All your actions will be peaceful and wise.

The dreamer made me a question:
‘Why didn’t the fact that it was a false nail matter?’
Here is my answer:
When we translate dreams we translate dream images into words depending on the meaning that the unconscious mind (the dream producer) gives to the dream images. We have to follow the unconscious logic and forget the way we look at these images based on the knowledge we have in our conscious mind. The meaning of the dream images in dreams follows another logic; the logic of the unconscious mind.
Your nail in dreams represents your aggression. Therefore, it has a negative meaning in dreams.
The unconscious mind uses scenes that belong to your daily life to give you secret symbolic messages that your evil anti-conscience cannot understand because it follows the logic of your conscience. You have to understand the symbolic meaning of the dream images, without thinking about the meaning that these images have in your daily life.
The fact that the nail you lost was false because you use false nails in your daily life in order to hide your real nails is the way that your conscience looks at your false nails.
The unconscious mind used the symbolic meaning of losing a nail to show you that you are losing your aggression, which is a good sign. You must stop being aggressive. You have to be sensitive, kind, and calm.
Therefore, even though according to your conscience losing a nail is something bad, in dreams it has a positive meaning because the nail represents aggression.
You had a positive message in this dream because you are an obedient patient and you are paying attention to the unconscious guidance. Your psychological system is passing through a process of transformation.
When you analyze your dreams, you should look at them in a symbolic form. You should try to understand the hidden unconscious intention. You have to remember that the unconscious mind is your saintly protector, while you are constantly influenced by your evil anti-conscience.
You like to be aggressive (keep your nails) because you believe that your aggression protects you from the wickedness of the world. However, your aggression can only generate aggressive reactions from those who are receiving aggression from you. In other words, your anger contaminates others, generating conflicts. This is why you must always show understanding and wisdom instead of being offensive and cruel.
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.
