What is the Initial Dream
The initial dream refers to the first dream narrated by the dreamer to the dream interpreter, which always leaves a deep impression on the dreamer with its peculiar and bizarre characteristics. It reflects a person's subconscious.
For example, a woman describes to the dream interpreter that she dreamt of being trapped in a cage surrounded by wild animals like tigers and wolves, who stared at her menacingly, causing her great fear.
The dream interpreter tells her: You fear your own biological instincts, and the wild animals symbolize an untamable instinct within you.
Another man's initial dream is: He dreams of being locked in a cage like a small bird, able to express his thoughts freely but unable to spread his wings and fly!
This dream tells him: The man's current situation is restricted and hindered by various factors.
These two individuals' dreams indicate that they are oppressed by their environment and cannot immediately escape their predicament. Dreams to some extent also reflect a person's lifestyle and personality traits.
The initial dream is the dreamer's earliest memory of dreaming, leaving a profound impression with its peculiar and bizarre feeling. Such dreams reveal the dreamer's environment at that time and the environment they will be in for a long time in the future.
