THE DREAM I had a short dream. I was simply given a gift.

THE REALITY The day before the dreamer had helped someone who had cancer. He had confided many deep problems. The dreamer liked to help people. She felt really appreciated and valued.

DREAM ANALYSIS Many dreams simply link to the day before. Yet when we get a dream about a gift we assume it links to good things. Yet sometimes the symbols are deeply hidden.

Poetry uses symbolism in ways which seem logical. Yet dreams will often not feel the need to do that. If we get a present we feel appreciated. We feel wanted and valued by others. The day before the dreamer had felt totally wanted and valued. She had helped a man suffering from cancer. This was a very special moment. In real life we feel wanted and appreciated when we receive a gift. We associate gifts with feeling wanted and appreciated. The dream matches up her real life thoughts with this symbol.
