Dream Interpreter

• http://seattledreaminterpreter.blogspot.com

During the day, I'm a software developer. After work, I'm beginning to set off on my own as a dream interpreter. I hope to help others unlock the secrets inside their dreams to increase happiness, solve problems, and better relate to others.

The two jobs are very similar, it's all about recognizing patterns, getting to the heart of a problem, and communicating well with others in both symbols and plain English.

I've been focusing more on honing my skills, so I'm currently not accepting clients, but let me know if you are interested and I will get back to you as soon as things change.

Help people become their own dream interpreters. It's a skill that you can learn for yourself!

My first tip for eveyone is to keep a dream journal next to your bed, so you can write down dreams right away in the morning.

I like to talk to dreamers in person, if possible, to catch the nuances of their speech and non-verbal cues as they retell their dreams.

Frequently, I'll only be able to give a very broad interpretation of a first dream, getting more and more precise as I hear multiple dreams from the same dreamer.

More than anything, I like to ask follow-up questions, to drill-down on what seems like an insignificant detail of a dream, or the dreamer's emotions during a dream. The things that are hidden at first.

My education comes from reading on the subject, my own dreaming, studying other's interpretations and famous dreams, and lots of practice.

For as long as I can remember, I've been the "go to" guy for interpreting the dreams of friends, colleagues, and family members. I'm just giving this a try for the general public.

I don't consider it a coincidence that I share a name with history's most famous dream interpretor (the Technicolor Dreamcoat guy...)
