Mind Mapping Your Dreams for Interpretation by Kris Vockler

March 13, 2008 · Print This Article

After posting several articles on dream interpretation and mind mapping your dreams, a commenter asked if I had an example of how I mind map my dreams. In this post you will see a jpg of a sample mind map I created using “Mindjet MindManager” software yet doing a Wikipedia search will yield some great hand drawn mind maps. As you look at the photo you can see that I try to explain each symbol all alone and emanating further out. Then I create an offshoot or a cloud off that symbol with what the meaning of the symbol is to me. From there you can see that as I dream I notice the same symbols or meanings come up over and over. Once I know a symbol or I know what a series of symbols means, I can associate them to other dreams down the line. Eventually you start to recognize the meanings quicker because you recognize the pattern. It’s not perfect, your meanings for a dream might change as you grow but the thread of meaning is always there.

I use mind mapping to brainstorm short story ideas, new marketing plans, and even as a way to start a new project.

    Hi, thanks for answering my question :-)

    It’s a good start. I wonder if I can attach references to files with the complete dream to the mind map. I would then be able to see the context of the symbol, which I think would also influence the meaning.

    Hi Olivier,

    Yes, you can attach reference files, this is why I started using the software as opposed to drawing on a poster board. The poster board looks cool and you can add an artistic touch to it yet it’s limited. Try the software, it’s really nice.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Google search, fantastic to know I’m at the top.

    Cheers,

    Kris
