The first step to interpreting a dream is to ask yourself whether the dream has meaning or if it has no significance at all. Dreams that have the most meaning will generally occur during the deepest part of your sleep which will be between the times of 2:00 – 7:00 A.M. However, meaningful dreams can occur at any time of the day.
Dreams that are affected by our physical environment have little meaning or impact. For example, a dream involving a physical condition such as a sound or a physical action won’t have an important meaning. Dreamers often interpret physical surroundings or sensations that are occurring in their waking life and incorporate these feelings into their dream.
