The dreamer - Dream Interpretation

Once i read an article about dream interpretation. I remember some part of it and thought i should share this with others. Even if you believe that dreams have no relation with real life but you can interpret others dreams as for having fun. So here it goes.

Four rules of dream interpretation: Some rules you need to know when you are trying to understand a dream and going to interpret the dream.

Symbols may have different personal meanings: Different symbols mean different each individual. This is the most important rule of dream interpretation.

Analyze the dream in detail: There are similar things people dream about. Like one may see he/she got a new bike, or someone might see he/she is riding a bike, or got badly hurt by falling from the bike. So each thing must be analyzed carefully and in detail so you can interpret properly.

Conscious and subconscious: People can dream in 2 different state of mind. They are:

Conscious: This means what people do daily see a dream according to that. Like someone had lots of fun with their friends by visiting some special place or on some special occation. And they are very tired after that occation. So when that person sleeps can dream about something related to that or see what that person did miss on that occation. This is usually happens when someone is lightly sleep. They may not be interpreted.

Sub-conscious: Sub-conscious has nothing do with daily life. When people see a dream they don't have anything related to their daily activity or anything else. They just dream about it. And dream can be interpreted when people see it in the state of sub-conscious.

So when you try to interpret someone's dream then try to relate the above points and try to explain the dream. I am giving some relative meanings of what can be interpreted of a person's dream. Means what a person sees in his/her dream can what can it mean.

Relative meanings of dream:

Angel - protection
Apple, Apples - Plans are coming towards success; a good omen
Bear - a friend who is awkward will help you, if you are kind to him/her.
Birds - if flying high, good luck. If flying low, bad luck. If singing, success.
Book - sought-after wisdom is within reach
Bridge - if crossed, a happy solution to a problem
Cat - a loved one requires your attention, or soon will
Cigar - comfort, reflection, prosperity
Dog - calm times ahead
Fishes - on the surface of the water, abundance and wealth. At the bottom, danger. Fishes can also indicate fertility or pregnancy.
Flag - change, success.
Glass - if broken, success. If empty, distress.
Guitar - declaration of love
Hermit - need to bring quietness into one's life
House - home life, often future home life. If one dreams of a home with a light inside or smoke rising from a chimney, it means one is unlikely to live alone. An empty house denotes living in solitude.
Kiss - betrayal or self-betrayal.
Owl - don't start anything new on next day.
Snake - someone has a grudge against you.
Snow - be true to your inner values, even if that leaves you alone.
Spider - you will be undergoing a positive period of spiritual development in the near future.
Tea - a happy older life, good fortune from afar.
Trees - if a path through a forest, one will soon find one's purpose in life. If downed trees, success. If trees bare of leaves, a new beginning. If full trees, danger from complacency.
Volcano - adventure, passion.
Water - if flowing water, such as a river or stream, increased romance. If water is murky, one is unsure of one's own feelings. If fish in the water, abundance and creativity.
Whiskey - a happy and active life.
Wine - a happy old age.


Here are a few key to dream which i can remember for now. I will try to update the list time to time. Try to interpret your dreams at first then go for other.

The law of diminishing love

Before stating what I want to say I think I should describe from where I got the idea. So please read the 2 paragraphs below.

When I was doing my micro economics course I read about a topic call the law of diminishing returns / supply / demand / marginal utility (sorry, forgot the real name of the term).

Well term states that the more one person consumes something the less demand that person will have for a product. This will lead to empty the demand for that at one point. In other words there will be no demand for that product to the person. An example of this is that, suppose you love to eat ice cream on a hot day. And on a hot day it tastes great. But if you buy another ice cream and consume it then you would not get the same level of satisfaction as you got from the first one. If you buy a third one then the taste will be less. And will continue to reduce until you don't like it anymore. In economics term it is called the law of diminishing returns / supply / return / marginal utility. An easy way to test this is to try it by drinking water. And you will see the results.

At one point in life everyone falls in true love. Someone comes to their life and changes it the way they never expected. But sometimes things go different way. What I mean at one point love starts to fade away. Some people may say true love never dies. Well I also believe in that. But what goes missing is that the people gets tired of what they are getting everyday. As you can see if you get something which you like then it won't be the same the next time you have it.

If one gets the same amount of love everyday from his/her lover then at one point they may feel love is fading away. Because there is nothing new in their relationship. The same is happening again and again. As you can see why I described the law above. Because it matches with that law which I learned while I was doing my economics course.


But if there something is which is balanced and one tries to do something extra to make them feel that they are special then it could be more pleasant for both of them. All of us can realize that there is something extra needed in life to go on and make it more pleasant. And in love people need it most.

Well I am a naive in these things. So don't take this in to your heart if I said something wrong above. And if you like my post then please leave a commment about it.

Why some browsers does not support download managers?

At first I am sorry for not to include this piece of information on my last post Download any file with a download manager.

Some download managers may not support all browsers. And when you click on download it may start to download on windows default download manager. Actually this happens because the download manager is not configured to download from the particular browser you are using. Here have a look on the image:



This is an image from IDM. As you can see only the first two options are selected. So if I download file from these two browsers then IDM will automatically start to download. But if I use another browser like Opera or Google Chrome then if I download the download will start in their built-in download manager. Yes some browsers have their own built in download managers. Now if I tick both options (e.g. Opera & Google Chrome) then IDM will automatically start to download the file.

Here is an example:

Suppose I want to download oatmeal raisin cookies recipe and it is in word file format. So the file format will be either .doc or .docx (the new foramt of MS Word file). So I need to add the two formats to my download manager. (If you don't know how to do that then read my previous post I have mentioned at the begining.)

Now suppose I am using Opera browser. So at first I need to tick the opera option from download options on my download manager (IDM). Now if I download the file then the downloads will start in IDM, not in opera's download manager. So now try this knol & see for yourself that it works on any browser listed. This option should also be available on other reputed download managers as well.

Download any file with a download manager

If you use download managers then you must know that some files does not support your download manager. They are only able to download certain popular files. And it is not possible to download them with your current download manager. Well this is not true. You can download any files using your existing download manager.

I am using IDM or Internet Download Manager right now. And I am able to download all the files with IDM easily. There is no secret on this. All you need to do is to add file extension so your download manager recognizes the file types you want to download.

Since I am using internet download manager, I am going to use the process of how to add file types on IDM. Get ready for another knol:

1. Open IDM or internet download manager application
2. Now click on "Download" menu
3. Then click on "Options"
4. Then click on "File types" tab (You can see lots of file extensions like EXE ZIP RAR etc.)
5. Add your desired file type extension (Remember there must be a space after each extension)
6. Click OK
7. You are done, now start downloading.

Note: Example for step 5: Suppose you want to download a PDF file. So you need to add PDF format as your extension. Remember after each extension there must be a space so the download manager can recognize the file.

This method should work with all reputed download managers. I am using IDM because it works best for me. If you are using a different download manager then try this method. This should work. Now enjoy downloading.
