Hi Jerry,

I'm not in a hurry :-).

My main rule regarding dreams is to follow the emotional responses during the dream. For example in the boat/road dreams I was anxious/afraid but the dream in a way forced me to follow a direction, in those cases left. I take that as a 'face your fears and trust the outcome' nudge.

On other occasions I found myself being afraid of a situation, then a scene in the dream had me getting involved in said situation and after that I felt a feeling of bliss in the dream. Again, I take these as small pushes. A lot of the time these situations actually play out in my waking life and then I always find myself 'choosing' (sometimes not using my logic) to act in the same manner I acted in the dream. very often I get synchronicities after such dreams.

For example I had a dream concerning an attitude I held towards a friend. In the dream I was holding the same attitude, keeping a distance. During the entire dream I was unable to roll a cigarette to smoke, sometimes I had no lighter, other times I had rolling papers which were not mine and in the end of the dream, because my rolling papers were wet and would stick one on another. Towards the end of the dream I saw that my attitude had changed towards my friend and I felt really good about, that was the point that my rolling papers also got stuck together. Two weeks later, several scenes presented in the dream started occurring in my waking life over a number of days. My friend was involved and my attitude was one of distance. At some point, I found myself spontaneously cutting that distance between us and really approaching my friend from a much different perspective. As soon as I did that, I tried to light a cigarette, it turned out that my rolling papers which i had left on the table where wet and I could not roll.

This of course would be meaningless to someone who did not have a similar experience or in fact to someone who did not have such a dream, but to me it really says a lot.

In any case, I normally know when I'm on the right track when I get synchronicities like these. Seemingly small things that happen in the dream, appear in one way or another in my waking life and I get a flas of intuition about the moment.

So it is mostly the dreams that i have strong emotions within (love, fear, anxiety, bliss) that make me reconsider my attitudes towards anyone and anything especially when those attitudes are based on fear of something, guilt, anxiety, jealousy and so on and so forth.
