An interpretation of documentary dreams

An interpretation of documentary dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about viewing a documentary can be a way of conveying information about yourself, your life, or a situation or circumstance in it. Documentaries are generally about people’s lives and issues of interest. They go into depth and generally offer different perspectives. They are the official record. Dreams document your life and interests, and show your life from different perspectives. A documentary can help you explore a subject or find an answer to a question. For example, you want to know what your stoic grandfather really thinks of you and dream of him being interviewed about you for a documentary. What he says shows you a different perspective. It might help you understand him better, or see yourself in him. Dreams can play with the word “document” by using a documentary in connection with particular documents that are part of your life—wills, bank statements, reports—and in connection with how you feel about handling documents. For example, you dream you’re forced to view a really boring eight-hour documentary, which connects with the eight hours a day that you deal with documents at work, and how boring it is. Or you dream about a document going up in flames in your hands, and it symbolizes something too hot to handle. See: Actors, Cameras, Directors, Hollywood, Movies, Televisions
