Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex
Speaker 1: and Frooms catch up podcast. It is Flex and Rooms
Speaker 1: on Kata. Is there anything more boring than hearing someone
Speaker 1: talk about their dream I actually find it quite interesting, oh,
Speaker 1: I will say, though, if you're part of the community
Speaker 1: who likes to look at the science and symbols and
Speaker 1: interpretations of your dreams, I have something for you, and
Speaker 1: I will say on paper verbally, you are interpreting your
Speaker 1: dreams wrong. According to men and his symbols Carl Jung.
Speaker 1: You'll find it if you google it. I'm a dreamy girly,
Speaker 1: I'm a dream interpreter, a dream haver, a lucid dreamer.
Speaker 1: I take it quite seriously. But what I can't get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of is what dreams actually mean. Why
Speaker 1: do they happen? Why do we have them? It's inconclusive,
Speaker 1: which is quite annoying for me, because we know everything
Speaker 1: about Mars and everything about the moon. Tell me about
Speaker 1: my dreams? Anyway, listen to this. The reason why you
Speaker 1: might struggle to interpret your dreams lies and this fact.
Speaker 1: A story told by your conscious mind has a beginning,
Speaker 1: a development, and an end. But the same is not
Speaker 1: true of a dream. It's dimensions in time and space
Speaker 1: are quite different. To understand it, you must examine it
Speaker 1: from every aspect, just as you may take an unknown
Speaker 1: shape and turn it over into your hands until you're
Speaker 1: familiar with what it is. So when you see something
Speaker 1: you don't know for the first time, you take the
Speaker 1: time to really look at it from every angle before
Speaker 1: you draw this conclusion about what it is or what
Speaker 1: it might not be. And so then I really thought
Speaker 1: about what happens when we dream. We're quick to first
Speaker 1: say this is a nightmare. It's a good dream. Correct.
Speaker 1: We rush to say it's a good dream, it's a
Speaker 1: bad dream. It's a dream I enjoyed, it's a dream
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy. And because there's no clear beginning, middle,
Speaker 1: and end, we attach ideas to certain themes. Right, it
Speaker 1: was dark, therefore it was scary. I saw a friend
Speaker 1: from high school. Therefore it was an anxiety dream. But
Speaker 1: the tip that I learned in this book is the
Speaker 1: dream interpretation, and it has to be unique to you.
Speaker 1: You can't be going to dream interpretation dot Com and
Speaker 1: being like, what is what I mean? The dream interpretation
Speaker 1: lies exactly in what is happening? One more time, The
Speaker 1: way to interpret your dreams lies in what is happening. So,
Speaker 1: for example, I had a dream the other day it
Speaker 1: was like the end of the world, the Walking Dead vibes,
Speaker 1: And I'm with three of my friends and we're on
Speaker 1: like this motorway highway. It's desolate. We've got our backpacks on.
Speaker 1: We're walking, walking, walking, looking for a shelter or something.
Speaker 1: We come across this petrol station that's been abandoned, but
Speaker 1: there's flower here, and we get inside and immediately my
Speaker 1: friends like, oh my god, this is amazing, our saving, grace,
Speaker 1: our salvation. There's flower. And they all turn to me
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what do we do with the flower?
Speaker 1: They're like, what do you mean, what do we do
Speaker 1: with the flower? We make bread with the flower? I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to make bread. One by one,
Speaker 1: they all start ripping into me. You spent all this
Speaker 1: time talking about the apocalypse and you don't even know
Speaker 1: how to make bread. What were you doing? Why are
Speaker 1: we here? La la la la. So I wake up
Speaker 1: and using my little book, I'm like, what is happening
Speaker 1: in the stream. I'm like, exactly what is happening? I
Speaker 1: spent all this time talking about the apocalypse. Not prepared,
Speaker 1: not even a little bit. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: purify water. I don't know how to make bread. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to survive with electricity. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to do permaculture, bab I can't even get
Speaker 1: a plant carrot. They should have apocalypse training. They've called
Speaker 1: some meal kits all hello fresh right in the apocalypse,
Speaker 1: keep it going, keep history alive. My hand up, jeers,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, though, and then and then I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: then why are my three friends mad at me? Right?
Speaker 1: And it's like one of the three friends I've had
Speaker 1: for the longest time, two of them I've known since
Speaker 1: high school. And I was like, it's a theme, Like
Speaker 1: they're often always upset with me in my dreams. What
Speaker 1: is that about? Because they're quite reasonable, sensible people. And
Speaker 1: I was like, if I really deep it, like if
Speaker 1: I go into my heart and soul, those two friends
Speaker 1: are the first people outside of my family that existed
Speaker 1: as a moral compass, Like outside of my mum telling
Speaker 1: me like this is good and bad or my brother's
Speaker 1: being like that's wrong or right. They you are the
Speaker 1: ones who were like, hey, some things are good. Maybe
Speaker 1: we shouldn't do that, maybe we should be sensible. So
Speaker 1: then in my brain, my subconscious is like, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: talking about being sensible, living up to expectation, understanding why
Speaker 1: you are are not doing things. That is the dream.
Speaker 1: It's not about the apocalypse, it's not about the bread.
Speaker 1: That is what happened. But by focusing on what exactly happened,
Speaker 1: not the stories we tell ourselves about what the dream symbolizes,
Speaker 1: there in lies the meeting. Yeah, I think I get it,
Speaker 1: you know, practice because there's something there. Your subconscious isn't
Speaker 1: really trying to hide things from you. It just doesn't
Speaker 1: know what's important to you. And the interpretation lies in
Speaker 1: what you are trying to see in it. And so
Speaker 1: like I feel really validated by being like, it's dark,
Speaker 1: so it's a nightmare because I'm afraid of the dark.
Speaker 1: That's just easy. But if we look past the doc,
Speaker 1: if we go what do we see? Meaning? As we
Speaker 1: always say, here, realize, realize real life. Yea with Flexing Firms.
