Important: Dreams can generally be divided into two categories: “true” and “misleading.” When interpreting a dream, factors such as the dreamer’s age, gender, and social circumstances play a crucial role. However, not every dream is meant to be interpreted. Some dreams may not hold meaningful insight and are often best left unexamined.

In the stillness of the night, I was transported into a dream where I became a butterfly, gracefully dancing on the breeze, wholly absorbed in the joy of my existence. Enveloped in the ephemeral beauty of the butterfly, I lost all awareness of my human identity. As the morning light gently awakened me, I returned to the reality of being human. Now, I ponder: Was I a man dreaming of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming of being a man?

Clear and personalized messages
Before jumping in to discover the hidden messages that filter into our dreams and appear in the dictionary in the second part, it’s best to keep in mind that not all oneiric thoughts can be analyzed with the same pattern. Therefore, psychologists and analysts distinguish between three classes of dreams:
Readjustment dreams
Satisfaction dreams
Premonitory dreams
In the interpretation of dreams, we work from the base knowledge that the same subject can have very different meanings depending on the circumstances and personal situation of the dreamer. Because of this, this dictionary offers abundant explanations (psychological and esoteric) from very distinct viewpoints, although the boundary is often blurred. This is meant to show the melting pot of possibilities for discovery and prediction if one atunes their sensitivity and perceptiveness in each interpretation.
But back to this chapter, where we have compiled a series of recurring themes as examples, and touch on erotic dreams, another way in which the subconscious offers information to be analyzed. Although these belong in the group of satisfaction dreams, their details warrant a separate explanation.
Readjustment dreams
In this type of dream, the oneiric images are provoked by merely physical causes. Readjustment dreams can be of internal origins—that is, generated by the body due to factors such as indigestion or a headache—or of external origin—heat, noises, the feel of sheets on the body, etc. A typical example of a readjustment dream with external origin would be that of a person who, due to the weight of the blankets, dreams of carrying a heavy load.
Where do these types of images come from? It’s simple: when we close our eyes, we have the sensation of being isolated from the world because our consciousness of the exterior world is so linked to visual perceptio...
