Interpret Your Dream Using Tarot Cards, Is It Possible?
Dreams symbolize our own self-discovery. It can define our emotions, experiences, and what happens in the human psyche. It is fascinating and at the same time mysterious to understand dreams. In doing so, people try to interpret their dreams in many ways like connecting to their intuition, or some rely on their Dream Dictionary that contains the definition of what their dream is about, or by consulting with an intuitive dream expert. Another way of interpreting dreams is tarot reading.
The tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ago in Italy. It was also used by occultist, mystics and found very useful in divination. Nowadays, if a dream seems to be vague and confusing you can try to interpret the dream-imagery by finding clues on tarot cards. Tarot card reading can be very useful due to reasons that dreams show symbols that are present in our subconscious mind.
According to Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian neurologists, dreams are outlets where our subconscious mind delivers our inner thoughts. Freud referred to dream as the royal road to the unconscious. He even described a way to access the unconscious state in his published work entitled The Interpretation of Dreams.
Dreams can be easily decipher by keeping a dream journal or diary. By writing the fresh events and describing them thoroughly a tarot card reader can foretell or unfold some thoughts that has relevance on the persons future or other information the dream is trying to convey to us.

It is true that when we sleep, our subconscious mind is on the work. Sigmund Freud define dream as spy holes into our unconscious. Fears, desires and emotions that we are usually unaware of make themselves known through dreams. To Freud dreams are fundamentally about wish-fulfillment. Even "negative" dreams (punishment dreams and other anxiety dreams) are a form of wish-fulfillment; the wish being that certain events do not occur. Very often such dreams are interpreted as a warning.
Moreover, dreams are incorporated with many objects that are related to our life. These objects are surrounded with various meanings which dream interpreter can provide. Finding dream meaning can enlighten you with regards to the things that affect your daily life.
A simple dream analysis can be made by taking notes of your dream the night before. It does not necessarily require that you remember all the details about your dream. Just write down the things you can still recount as soon as you wake up in the morning. After a week, you can bring these notes to a psychologist or a dream interpreter who can come up with dream interpretations.
Interpretations of dream can serve as a guide to know the deeper yourself and your thoughts. These meanings are not meant to scare you but help you to distinguish things or events that you dwell on most of the time. Make use of these interpretations to seek out your strengths and weaknesses.
