IAN WALLACE

DREAM PSYCHOLOGIST

A DREAM IS JUST A DREAM UNTIL YOU PUT IT INTO ACTION

The word dream has two meanings in our language. Dreams can mean the nightly phenomena that we all create and can also be our greatest life ambitions. Although these two meanings seem quite different, they are fundamentally connected by a deeper level of self-awareness. By exploring your dreams and becoming more aware of what they mean, you naturally connect with practical ways to consistently fulfil your deepest aspirations.

About Ian Wallace

About Dreams

ABOUT DREAMS

Your dreams reflect the fundamental patterns of your waking life and, although your nightly dreams and your daily life may seem to have no connection, the word ‘dream’ also means your waking hopes and aspirations, as well as your night-time adventures. Even though the intentional pursuit of your waking dreams and the natural creation of your nocturnal dreams may seem to be entirely separate, they are both primarily driven by a deeper level of self-awareness that we all possess. This more elemental understanding of yourself is a natural human quality and is known as your unconscious awareness.

About Psychology

ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY

When exploring dreams, it can be all too easy to become fixated on the dream and find yourself ignoring the dreamer who is creating all the dreams. To really understand the meanings and messages from the dreams, it is incredibly helpful to have an understanding of the dreamer and their potential behaviour patterns. Psychology is the study of human behaviour and goes beyond the purely conscious and physical manifestations of what it means to be human. Although psychological studies can be complex explorations with many apparent contradictions, the basics of psychology are who you are, what you need and what you believe.

DREAMS DON'T HAPPEN TO YOU, YOU HAPPEN TO YOUR DREAMS

DREAMS DON'T HAPPEN TO YOU, YOU HAPPEN TO YOUR DREAMS

Dreams don’t just happen to you, you actually happen to your dreams. You create everything in your dreams. Every person you encounter, every place you go, every event you experience is generated by your unconscious self. By understanding why you create your unique dream content, you invariably achieve a profound understanding of who you really are, what you really need, and what you really believe.

This is also true for your dreams in waking life. Your greatest ambitions and deepest aspirations don’t just happen to you – you have to actively create them. By using the unconscious understanding you create every night in your dreams, you can connect far more deeply and successfully with your lifetime ambitions and aspirations.

FAST COMPANY, WORK DREAMS

Fast Company Magazine, Work Dreams

As we sleep, our unconscious mind often reflects on the things which we are unable to or unwilling to face during the day. And since we spend a big chunk of our waking lives at work—and given that we are often unable to express our true emotions in professional settings—it should come as no surprise that work-related dreams are incredibly common.

Most of our accumulated emotional tension is generated from encountering conflicts and challenges at work, particularly with colleagues. So, it’s natural that our jobs count for a lot of our dream activity. However, the work environments and colleagues we create in our dreams are not those actual places and people, but rather symbols of personal realisation and development.

What your dreams are trying to tell you and what to do about them

The prominent dream psychologist says staying within the dream, facing your fear and taking control of events can be beneficial to your well-being. He believes the images conjured in the mind during slumber are linked to someone’s abilities and needs in the real world; you just need to look closely and read into the symbols encoded within. According to Wallace’s technique, dreams are a powerful reflective tool that can act as a compass pointing towards needs the dreamer didn’t even know they had.

A Psychologist’s Dream Interpretation Of Common Dreams

We all have dreams every night. Yes, although sometimes it seems like you don’t have one. But the reality is you have. Some dreams are forgotten when you wake up and some are clear. Well, there is another explanation for that which is not the subject of this post. While dreams are a common phenomenon to all people across cultures, it is also one of the most mysterious human experiences. It produces more questions than answers. For instance, you might ask why do we dream? Or, what do dreams mean?

What your dreams really mean

What your dreams really mean

Whether you’re flying, your teeth are falling out or you’re trying (but failing) to run away from a predator, most of us have dedicated plenty of time to trying to make sense of our dreams. Is our subconscious trying to tell us something? Is it our brains filing information away? Or is it a metaphor for something big happening in our lives? Ian Wallace, a globally prominent psychologist, told Coach dreams are actually a combination of all three – and it’s certainly not about mysticism or being psychic. “A dream is how you imagine yourself,” he explains. “It’s how you imagine the person you have been and how you imagine the person you would like to become.”

DREAMS AND DELIRIUM, INTENSIVE CARE SOCIETY TALK

WORKING WITH CHILDRENS DREAMS

When working with children’s dreams, it’s clear to see that dreaming is a wonderful thing for a child to do. One of the fantastic things about dreams is the realization that the dream doesn’t happen to you, you actually happen to the dream and you create everything you experience in it. So what you do in your dream is you are creating a far better understanding of who you are, what you need, what you believe – it’s fantastic snapshot of who you are.  A dream is the ultimate selfie.

On listening to Matt’s night ramblings at first, they seem to be ridiculous, meaningless, and hilarious, just a man lying in bed, unconsciously muttering to himself. If Matt was fully awake when expressing himself in this way, it would be termed a word salad, an attempt to communicate an idea that just emerges in a confused jumble of seemingly random words and phonemes.

Van, hogy napokkal később, de egy szóról, illatról, egy szellőről beugrik, hogy mit álmodtunk az egyik éjjel. Nekem ilyenkor mindig beindul az agyam, és eszembe szokott jutni a teljes sztori a tollasbálról. Sőt van, hogy tudom, ezt már nem először álmodtam. Merthogy visszatérő álmai szinte mindenkinek vannak, ezek jelentése pedig sok esetben homály. Bújjuk az álmoskönyveket, de őszintén megmondom, én azokban még nem találtam magyarázatot az álmaimra. Egy híres pszichológus, Ian Wallace 30 éves praxisa alatt több mint 150 ezer álmot elemzett, így összeállított egy listát a leggyakoribb álmokról, azok jelentéséről, és hogy mit üzen az álom, mit érdemes tennünk az éber életben.

BBC IWONDER, LUCID DREAMING

Do I have the power to control my dreams? How do I recognize a lucid dream? We all have the power to dream. But the first step to experiencing a lucid dream is recognising that you are in fact dreaming. It’s not as easy as it sounds and not quite as simple as employing the traditional pinch. It may sound a little unusual, but just like when we are exploring any intriguing situation, we do this by looking out for clues. We can identify these clues that we can create in our dreams by being on the look-out for anything that appears strange or out of context. And to help us, we can use a powerful connection process to recognise them and work with them. We’ll start with actually identifying the clue.
