- [From Big Spider to Huge Bug](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/from-big-spider-to-huge-bug/): Faced with an on-going problem with her mom, and not sure which way to turn, Benita found herself inside an escalating nightmare. Dream analysis tied her sleeping nightmare back to this difficult situation, then offered the possibility of a solution.
- [A message from the other side](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/a-message-from-the-other-side-2/): In 2002 just after my book came out, was near the time a connection was starting to happen through an alumni site of a camp I grew up at in Lake George, NY. I was suddenly finding and corresponding with people who I hadn't seen in over 40 years. In a conversation with Susan, one of my old girlfriends I mentioned that I am a dream analyst. She had said she's had a recurring dream she would love to understand and so I invited her to call me so that we could work through decoding its meaning.
- [My Oprah Dreams: Repetition In Dreams](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/oprah-dreams-repetition-in-dreams/): Here is a dream I had end of May 2011, the week that Oprah Winfrey’s last show was airing. During that period of my life I was having plenty of what I started to refer to as my Oprah Dreams. That’s why this one was titled Another Oprah Dream. This dream illustrates how we use repetition in our dreams.
- [Recurring Dreams Themes](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/recurring-dreams-themes/): A few weeks ago I wrote about a recurring image or theme that repeats itself during the same night. It’s called ROTE. I am going to discuss how some images and themes can repeat over a period of weeks, or months; sometimes even years!
- [EDGE Exclusive: Expert Analyzes Readers’ Dreams](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/edge-exclusive-expert-analyzes-readers-dreams/): by Matthew WexlerEDGE Media Network ContributorFriday July 24, 2020
- [What Does a Dream of Drowning Mean?](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dream-of-drowning-mean/): From the 6 Points of Entry method I developed, if I hear about a dream of drowning, it's the feelings aspect that screams at me. I'll want to pose questions like, "Are you drowning in your work these days?" If it's not an abundance of work I am drowning in, I might look for some recent circumstance I am feeling overwhelmed about. Something that's making me struggle--literally.
- [Dreaming About a Tornado; What does a tornado in your dream mean?](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dreaming-about-tornadoes/): Just last week, more than 125 tornadoes were reported in the U.S. Even though they were in Iowa, Missouri, Georgia and Mississippi – tornadoes in the news, might easily appear in your dream... if it fits what's going on for you this week.
- [Dreaming about a car crash? Scary!](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dreaming-about-a-car-crash/): When trying to attach your dreaming about a car crash to the waking event you were discussing with yourself, let's turn to another possibility. Using a play on words, I know so many people who use the expression "crash" when referring to how tired they feel. Maybe you say, "I was so tired, I went straight home and crashed." How about "I'm crashing", when trying to express how exhausted you are, or perhaps you "crashed" at a friend's house last night. I would be asking the dreamer whose house they crashed at. This might help lead the dreamer to someone in their life who's they might need to reach out to.... or more importantly, is the dream pointing the dreamer to a character trait they need to employ in a recent situation? If I crashed at someone's house I would investigate how and why I put myself there in my dream. What personality trait is my dream suggesting I lean into?
- [Dreaming of Fields: Fielding your dream questions](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dreaming-of-fields-dream-of-field/): What does dreaming of fields mean to you? Dreaming of a field makes me think of using play-on-words or puns as a point of entry...
- [Murdering in Dreams](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/murdering-in-dreams/): My dream was in response to the fact that I never expressed my frustration and anger towards him. It was the holding-in that triggered my murdering in dreams. The dream accomplished two goals in one swoop. The first that I expressed my feelings to the doctor. The second, appreciating the humor with which our unconscious often sends its messages, was the bread knife. It’s appearance so cleverly pointed me to my responsibility in the whole fiasco, that being the need to be more attentive to my eating habits!
- [Dreams About Poop](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dreams-about-poop-meaning/): Lately, I have had a spree of people asking me what dreams about poop means! It inspires me to write the most obvious and important place to begin when trying to uncover why you used that particular imagery.
- [Dream Dictionaries: Why You Should NEVER Use One](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dream-dictionary/): In the language of dream analysis, there is nothing so valuable and revealing than to interview the dreamer.
- [Dream Diary Top 6 Proven Tips and Benefits](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dream-diary-top-6-tips-and-benefits/): Writing your dreams in a diary helps recall, analysis, and building knowledge of your private interior dictionary. These tips will help you create your own dream diaries.
- [Surprised and Confused but Not Turned on: When a Sex Dream Isn’t About Sex](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/surprised-and-confused-but-not-turned-on-when-a-sex-dream-isnt-about-sex/): Selina’s sexual dream brought with it a series of questions, surprises, and confusion. As it turned out though, the issue behind the dream had nothing to do with sex!
- [The Meaning of Snakes in a Dream](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/snakes-in-a-dream-meaning/): It’s interesting how often I am asked about what it means when there are snakes in a dream. If you are using my 6 Points of Entry method for uncovering meaning in your dream, the appearance of a snake will fall into the “symbols” category. Let me begin by saying that symbols in a dream include any people, places, animals, and things. When working with any of symbols that appeared in your dream, take a pen to be sure to capture your exact language, and ask yourself “What are the first two or three things that come to my mind when I think of that person, place, or thing?”
- [Carl Jung Quote and Dream Analysis](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/carl-jung-quote-and-dream-analysis/): In my recent endeavours to find ways to introduce the general public to the incredible value of dream analysis, I often think of this story about Carl Jung, because in it is captured the essence of all our dreams have to provide for us.
- [Toothless Dreams: One Image, Many Meanings](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/teeth-falling-out-dream-meaning/): From Understanding Dreams Blog with Psychology Today
- [Synchronicity at work](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/synchronicity/synchronicity-at-work-dream-meanings/): I am a dream analyst. The other day, I was working with a client on the telephone, who was describing her dream filled with themes of black and white. My office is in my home and from my desk I have a view of the vestibule. While I was discussing her dream with my client, my daughter came into the house and walked past me into her bedroom. When she passed I noticed she was dressed all in black. A few minutes later as the dreamer was discussing the white images in her dream, I looked up and saw my daughter walk by me again except this time she had changed and was dressed all in white!
- [Dreams about Death and Dying](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dreams-about-death-dying/): Dreams about death are fairly common. Like many people, you may have dreamed about people you love who have died, or about dying yourself. While these dreams can be sad or frightening, they don’t have to be. Dreams of death and visits from deceased loved ones are not necessarily about death in the literal sense. To find out what these dreams mean, you need to investigate how you have used the imagery of death in order to say something to yourself.

- [If this were my dream; Projective Dream Analysis](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/if-this-were-my-dream-projective-dream-work/): The late Dr. Montague Ullmans’ approach, commonly referred to as the “If this were my dream” method is what I want to discuss in this article. Dr. Ullman, like all of us, was faced with a dilemma when working with a group of people doing dreamwork, a situation he found himself in constantly.
- [Sexual Dreams & Their Meanings](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/sexual-dreams/): You have sex with your best friend. Or sex with a hot stranger, perhaps while lying in bed right next to your partner! How does this dream make you feel when you wake up? Aroused? Uncomfortable? Guilty? All of the above? It’s not surprising that of all the dream topics I analyze with clients,

We learn how he unraveled the symbolism in his dreams during the aftermath and the extreme anxiety that first got his attention.
- [Polarities in Dreams](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/dream-interpretation-polarities-in-dreams/): The philosophy that respects all the parts of the dream beings parts of ourselves begs a discussion of how polarities appear in our dreams. In fact, establishing the polarities in a dream often leads to the 'answer' or strength therein.
- [Remembering Your Dreams](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/remembering-your-dreams/): For those of you who are not accustomed to remembering your dreams, let’s discuss the process step by step.

- [Problem Solving While You Sleep](https://thedreamanalyst.com/dream-articles/about-dreaming/problem-solving-while-you-sleep/): Wondering what to do about something that’s bothering you? Life is filled with decisions– our own, others’, and even those others telling us what decisions to make. But the fact is, deep down inside, we usually know exactly what we should do. The trick is getting in there to access that wisdom.
- [CUTV Radio Interview and The Freight Elevator Dream](https://thedreamanalyst.com/radio-interviews/cutv-radio-interview-freight-elevator-dream/): Doug Llewelyn on CUTV Radio in New York City recently interviewed me. The interview is here, below for you. Since we only had a half hour and wanting to be sure I’d get in everything, I pasted everything I wanted to cover, right across my desk!
- [Entrepreneur.com](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/entrepreneur-com/): Can your dreams help guide you in business? Layne Dalfen thinks so. "We're problem-solving in our dreams," explains Dalfen, a dream analyst in Montreal and the author of Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential (Adams Media). "Whether you are soliciting the solution to an issue you are facing or one you are attempting not to face, dreams create scenarios that mirror the feelings and events we are experiencing in our current lives."
- [Dreamtime Magazine](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/dreamtime-magazine/): Layne Dalfen’s book, Dreams Do Come True, is aptly described by its subtitle, “decoding your dreams to discover your full potential.” “I believe that the ability to understand our dreams provides us with the opportunity to be completely in touch with our whole selves when making decisions”, she says in her introduction. “Interpreting our dreams is not only fun and interesting, it is important.”
- [Edmonton Sun](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/edmonton-sun/): A terrifying dream in which she’s trapped in a freight elevator often invades Layne Dalfen’s sleep when she’s feeling stressed. “The space is so big, I can’t hold onto the walls and the floor is wobbly,” says the 50-year-old Montrealer who analyses other people’s dreams via her home-based consultancy, the Internet, and radio phone-ins.
- [WestSide Montreal](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/westside-montreal/): If he were alive today, I am sure American Philosopher Henry David Thoreau would have liked to meet Montreal author and dream interpreter Layne Dalfen. Dalfen, a self-proclaimed ‘dream worker’ who in 1997 established the Dream Interpretation Center here in Montreal, has written Dreams Do Come True, a 300-page book filled with helpful hints, tricks and insight into understanding what happens when our heads hit the pillow and our minds begin to freefall.
- [The Canadian Jewish News](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/canadian-jewish-news/): Dreams are the way the subconscious mind gives solutions to conflicts, says Layne Dalfen, a Montreal dream analyst.
The trick, she believes, is to translate the metaphors in a dream in order to identify what each person or thing in it represents and what message is being given by the dream as a whole.
- [Montreal Gazette](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/montreal-gazette/): Counselor helps interpret meaning – For most of the time we’re sleeping at night, we’re dreaming. Our dreams are chiefly about something with which we are preoccupied, perhaps unconsciously, expressions of our deeper selves. – And the best way to understand dreams is to want to, says Montrealer Layne Dalfen, who helps people to find out more about their dreams.
- [Eharlequin.com](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/eharlequin/): Layne Dalfen, dream analyst and author of Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential, explains that dreams are connected to your life and can be a useful problem-solving tool. Dreams can highlight a problem, alert you to a desire, make you aware of a strength and urge you to face fears or conflicts. “This is especially useful in relationships, where there is so much fear and hope connected,” says California-based psychotherapist and dream interpreter Michael Lennox, M.A.
- [The Milwaukee Journal](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/the-milwakee-journal/): War has also crept into my patients’ dreams, and into their psychotherapy sessions, more than any other event since Sept. 11. I ask teens and adults what their dreams mean to them. We try to use that material in the context of what else they are going through. But my dream work with them is pretty basic.
- [GhostVillage.com](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/ghostvillage/): A man walked up to me screaming in rage. I ran as fast as I could, but he chased me. I realized he had an axe and wanted to swing it at me. He was running faster than I was, and I knew he would catch me. The screaming wouldn’t stop. It happens to every one of us each time we sleep. We dream — hopefully not a nightmare. Some dreams are wonderful adventures; others are frightening. Some dreams reach our most primal emotions, while others are just plain weird. Many people believe our dreams have deeper meaning relating to our personal lives and the world around us.
- [Beliefnet.com](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/beliefnet/): Like many people, you may have dreamed about people you love who have died, or about dying yourself. While these dreams can be sad or frightening, they don’t have to be. Dreams of death and visits from deceased loved ones are not necessarily about death in the literal sense. To find out what these dreams mean, you need to investigate how you have used the imagery of death in order to say something to yourself.
- [Globe and Mail](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/globe-and-mail/): For 22 years, while Norman Gulko slept, his dreaming brain went on dates with his late wife. Her name was Flo, and they had been married more than three decades when cancer claimed her life in the summer of 1980. Two weeks later, she showed up in his dreams. She was standing in profile, her brown eyes young again, urging him to be happy.
- [Wausau Daily Herald](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/wausau-daily-herald/): Alberta Jensen of Aniwa has nightmares about botching a job on the assembly line at Federal Mogul. Bao Yang of Wausau always is late for work in her dreams. And Jennifer Smith dreams about overcharging her customers at Gander Mountain. Though these women have no idea why, they are not alone in having work-related dreams.
- [Globe and Mail Special](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/globe-and-mail-special/): In 1993, Christy Ann Conlin quit her job as an Ottawa file clerk and headed to Germany with her boyfriend. “I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life,” she recalls. Until one night, after she fell into a deep sleep. “In my dream, I was Madonna’s file clerk,” she recalls. “As I worked in this dusty chamber, she told me tales of her own success, which she’d achieved by daring to aspire beyond the ordinary.”
- [City of Dreams, The Mirror](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/the-mirror/): If you’re one of those people who naively think others might be the least bit interested in hearing about your dreams yet keep finding yourself disappointed upon learning nobody does, take heart in the knowledge that an entire conference devoted to dreams and their interpretation will be taking place in Montreal from Tuesday, July 8 to Saturday, July 12 at Hôtel Auberge Universel (5000 Sherbrooke E.). Not only that, but in honour of the conference and a simultaneous dream-themed art exhibit that will be running at the Gallery Art Neuf (3819 Calixa-Lavallée) all summer long, the city of Montreal has officially declared the week in question to be “Dream Week.”
- [Gazette](https://thedreamanalyst.com/newspaper-articles/gazette/): Had her own dreams analyzed: “I was 21 years old and unable to articulate my feelings,” Dalfen said. “So instead, I would talk to him about my dreams. It was the first time I learned that we could solve our problems through our dreams. Dream analysis is an investigation, like solving a puzzle. You attach the dream to the problem”
