An interpretation of heaven dreams

An interpretation of heaven dreams

If heaven is a dream setting, it might be a way of symbolizing being in a good place in your life. You are at peace. You feel joy, connection, love. Dreaming about heaven can come in response to wondering what it’s like, especially after hearing descriptions of heaven, seeing depictions of it, or sorting through your beliefs. Is it a real place, or metaphorical? Do only good people go there, or only people who practice a certain religion? Dreams can respond to these sorts of questions, but remember that the answers received are likely to be subjective, not objective. Powerful and vivid depictions of heaven in dreams run the gamut from typical “angels on clouds” and “bearded wise man running the show,” to a black void of absolute peace. These are subjective viewpoints. That, or heaven is whatever you believe it to be. Considering what we are learning from quantum physics about reality being whatever you make of it, it’s entirely possible that objectively a place like heaven (presuming it exists) has myriad manifestations. Dreams where heaven is referred to and not depicted can relate to a place you’re trying to get to in your life. Perhaps you have a goal in mind that sounds like heaven to you, such as retiring to a tropical island. Dreams use analogies to create symbolism, and heaven to you can be something like buying a house on a lake, or sending your kids off to college. Oftentimes, personal notions of heaven are related to romantic love. You will find your personal heaven when you find the love of your life. For people who are lonely and isolated, their version of heaven can simply be close connection with another human being. Along this line, heaven in a dream can be an expression of a wish. For example, a loved one dies and you dream about the person in heaven. It’s a wish that the person is in a good place in the afterlife. Or it can symbolize being at peace with the death of that person. See: Afterlife, Seeing a dead relative How does heaven symbolize something from your thoughts or feelings? Is it used to describe a situation? Is it something you think about or long for? Is it used as a setting to help tell the dream-story? Remember, a dream setting sets the stage to tell a story using symbolism, and the symbolism is based on your associations. What are the first words that come to mind in relation to heaven? Peace, contentment, harmony, afterlife, God, eternity, mystery, love, light, soul. These are common associations with heaven that can be used to symbolize what’s going on inside you, in your life, as an observation about a person, or to identify the subject of a story.
