From Joseph to Jung, dreams and their
interpretations have been given much importance. Dreams are believed to reflect
the subconscious – not only the subconscious mind of the dreamer but also, more
importantly, the collective subconscious of the human race. In this connection,
characters, scenes and objects in dreams are believed to carry symbolic
meanings which are passed on from generation to generation. Some people
encourage dreamers to try to have clear memory or even keep record of dreams
and learn to interpret them.
I am aware of having several dreams
every night, but despite my effort to remember them, most are forgotten by the
time I wake up and there is never much I can hold on to.
The one I had yesterday was an
exception. I cannot remember the plot or anything else, except the image of a
pencil stump – a yellow pencil stump so short that you almost cannot hold it
with your fingers.
I wonder what this image symbolizes?
