Hi again,
I see, I guess I get frustrated a lot because I don't get to figure it out. Maybe my mind is shouting at me and wanting me to notice things I don't but which one?  
I am overwhelmed at work and still learning the ropes but I think I'm adjusting fine (in my perspective)

My dreams don't have commonalities, for example just few days ago I dreamt I was traveling but a map is shown...where a river flows (I thought it was the Nile river) weird that I was to go around Greece or somewhere else (I never been to Europe but I like to go some day)...I saw caves and river flowing...then if I ride a boat, it will bring me somewhere fast..then some parts I forgot...

Last time I dreamt about dugong fishing?  I was in an area (yacht and all) huge dugongs (i first thought they were dolphins) snapping to get the small fishes...I see blood...

My mind plays different movies/dreams a night...that I can't grasp them one by one...I guess I let it be most of the time...but when I feel very bothered by it, I try to look for answers coz I'm scared that it might be a warning...

Thank you very much for the time/perspective, somehow reading your post makes me feel less weird about dreams and more on accepting it than deflecting it as another part of my peculiar sleep world

Dreams are mostly about our unresolved emotions from the conscious state.  The symbols merely help us understand our own emotions to resolve them for peace and living.  

Chanting is repetitious.  You are saying over and over the same thing and expecting different results.  (Isn't that Einstein's theory of insanity?)  Anyway you don't understand the whole picture and are trying to make what you do know manifest the rest.  

This applies to some form of religion or spirituality that you have been seeking.  Some people study their religious following for a lifetime to understand it.  Others read a book and feel knowledgeable.  

When you have the key to the rest of the words to chant, you may have the key to your own spirituality.

I think spiritalk maybe onto something here.  I didn't think about chanting in that way.

And it is difficult in my experience to grasp every single dream, and have the time to fully understand every single one if you can recall them all.  Thankfully usually the most important ones stand out.

In my dreams fish often represent 'creatures of my unconscious' in my own opinion, but would be interested in seeing how spiritalk sees these.  She has a perspective slightly different from mine.  Not sure what the dugongs might represent.  They are sea-cows... supposedly mistaken for mermaids, you mistook them for dolphins...  Just brainstorming here...

Fish were the original symbol of Christianity (when it was a hidden, secret society).  The participants would draw a fish to recognize one another.  Water is the symbol of spirit with its ebbs and flow.  So dreams with fish and water could give it a religious or spiritual feel.

Water is also considered emotions.  So the rest of the symbols would have to fit in.  

I still see most of our dreaming as our unresolved emotions from the conscious state.  So the symbols have to help us understand ourselves, emotionally.

i understand...i honestly don't understand how to resolve issues...i believe in forgiving and forgetting
so often i let go of feelings/emotions i feel before it drives me crazy :p
the mind is quite contradictory..why do it want to bring back old issues? ohwell haha let's say it wants to be noticed from time to time? maybe..
