At the word “monument” each person has his own persistent association. For some it is a sculpture in the square, for others it is a statue in the garden. Before the eyes of some people, when pronouncing this word, tombstones immediately appear, while others imagine historically significant buildings, that is, monuments of culture or architecture.
Accordingly, the meanings of what the monuments dream of are not so small. The dream of graves and cemetery monuments and of dreams of statues installed in city squares cannot have the same interpretation.
What is important for understanding sleep?
If a dream has come about, the monument in the plot of which appeared in the form of the main image, then first of all it is necessary to determine what exactly appeared. That is, whether it was a statue of an angel from an old grave, a tombstone, a monument to some historical figure, or something else, such as a building.
It is necessary to pay attention to exactly how the monument looked. Whether it was old, shabby, rickety, crumbling, covered with moss or mold, or, on the contrary, shone with fresh paint and novelty.
No less important is the development of the plot of sleep. What role was assigned to the monument? Was he just present or was the background for some events, actions? Was the monument itself an actor? Did the statue talk, move, or remain motionless? If it was a gravestone, what was his condition? Was the tombstone whole or cracked? Were there any chips? Did they open it in a dream?
If a building has been dreamed of, then which? It is important to remember not only the appearance, but also the purpose of the structure. For example, the theater or palace of the governor and the fortress with prison casemates do not dream of the same thing, although they are united by the concept of “historical monument”.
It is also important whether people were present in a dream, who they were, what they did or said. Thus, literally every detail has a decisive understanding of sleep.
What else needs to be considered?
It is impossible to correctly understand what the monuments dream of, without taking into account life experience and the type of personality of the dreamer himself. For example, the monument to V.I. Lenin, which is in almost every Russian city, dreamed of a pensioner and a staunch communist who devoted his life to the party, and a young man who just graduated from high school, will have completely different meanings, although the plot is the same.
In addition to life experience, personality characteristics, upbringing, beliefs, worldview and other individual moments, it is necessary to pay attention to your own feelings both in the dream itself and after awakening from it. A bad dream is always a burden, but a good daydream, on the contrary, inspires.
When does sleep not matter?
Night visions do not always warn or indicate anything. This is reported by each dream book. The monument at the heart of the dream storyline is no exception to this rule, such dreams may also not have a hidden meaning.
It is quite simple to distinguish visions that carry a certain message from empty and meaningless ones, which are just a projection of the work of the subconscious. Important dreams are remembered in the smallest details, and often a person is able to retell a little dream a few years later as if he had dreamed it the other day.
Accordingly, if the dream is important, then you will not have to painfully remember whether the monuments from granite were dreaming of it or from metal, whether there were cracks on them or not, and so on. All the details necessary for interpretation will be remembered and deposited in the brain. Dreams are empty, do not have a hidden meaning encrypted in symbols; they do not have such a feature.
What is written in the dream books?
Interpreters do not appeal with such concepts as a “monument of architecture”. That is, if you dream about a building with a security sign, then you should look for the meaning of the symbol under a different name that the dream book has. Monuments of architecture should be sought in the collections of interpretations, guided by their intended purpose. That is, to look for the meaning of such symbols as a museum, a pyramid, a theater, an obelisk, a triumphal gate, an arch, a residential building, a palace, and so on, depending on what exactly was dreamed of.
As for the statues and grave monuments, it is precisely they that are usually meant by this name in dream books. The meaning of this symbol is given different.
What is written in Freud's collection?
Monuments from granite, like any others, are interpreted unambiguously in this dream book. This is phallic symbolism. The dream interpretation does not separate the concepts of “monument” and “sculpture”. Each figure, depicted sculpturally, is a symbolic reflection of intimate life. The more precise meaning of what exactly the ghostly statue symbolizes can be understood only taking into account the personal qualities of a person, his gender and age, as well as the details of sleep.
For example, a sculptural monument, in which several figures or other components are involved, speaks of a desire for activity in sexual joys and a thirst for a change of many sexual partners. If there are animals, such as horses in the sculptural composition, sleep is understood as a direct projection of sexual intercourse.
The sculpting of a monument or its carving from a rock is a symbol of the desire to change your own partner or to change it. And the broken statues testify to the collapse of the relationship or a crisis in them due to sexual incompatibility.
What is written in the French collection?
This dream book is one of the oldest. The interpretations taken from it became the basis for many such collections, including the famous Miller's dream book. Many believe that the French collection is outdated, because in it you can not find most of the stories inherent in the dreams of modern people. However, this is not quite the right position. The plots of dreams, filled with hidden, hidden in symbols, meanings, practically do not change for centuries. This stability, which is a mystery to psychologists, is the basis for collections of interpretations of visions. That is, the plots are stable, only the characters that a person sees in a dream change.
For example, in the center of the dream storyline is a car. Of course, there is no car in the ancient dream book. But it has a horse and a cart, a carriage and other old vehicles that regularly served people before the advent of cars. It is under these names that one needs to look for the interpretation of the symbol “machine” in the old dream book. There are adapted versions of this collection, in which modern symbols with traditional decodings are introduced.
What the monuments dream of is interpreted by the French collection in an ambiguous and even opposite way. To see them from the side in a dream - to sadness, despondency, woeful events in life. But admiring a beautiful exquisite monument is a good sign. Such a dream portends success in matters related to money and good news.
What is written in the Hasse collection?
Ambiguously interprets the symbol and this dream book. The grave monument is daydreaming to sorrow and sorrow, to despondency. But to see the obelisk is evidence of an exemplary, decent and generally correct, prosperous life. If the obelisk is seen by a young man, then such a life is ahead of him. In the event that an elderly person visited the dream, then a dream means that this is how he lived through the past years.
To see an abstract monument from the side, which is simply present in the plot, means that in vain there will be in vain, unclaimed labor, meaningless efforts. But to see your own monument is a good sign that portends peace, achievement of goals, recognition and peace of mind.
What is written in the modern collection?
In the modern collection of interpretations, the symbol of the monument is considered in the context of the plot of a dream and the actions of a person in it. This collection of interpretations decodes the monument to himself as evidence of excessive suspiciousness and criticality to his own person.
The initiative in a dream to destroy someone’s monument or to direct this process, own actions, according to the dream book, indicate a feeling of guilt, gravitation, a sense of duty. In this dream, it is worth paying attention to whose monument is being destroyed, and pondering relations with this person. If the monument is destroyed by a historical character, writer or other figure, then this indicates a disadvantage in the social sphere, rejection of the current life situation, the foundations of society, work, and possibly the state system.
Of particular importance is the dream book plot, in which a person is surrounded by monuments and, besides them, there is nothing in the vision. Such a dream warns of an inadequate perception of reality, which, of course, needs to be changed. Separately, this dream book is considering a monument in the cemetery, for the construction of which funds are being raised. This dream speaks of forthcoming troubles and worries associated with dear and close people.
What is written in the esoteric collection?
Esoterics understand in a peculiar way what the monuments dream of. In accordance with this collection of interpretations, to see a dream in a monument to someone means that in life they will have to face obstacles that suddenly appear, difficulties, unforeseen difficulties. If the monument in the plot of the dream was erected by a statesman or a person known for other activities, then such a dream promises the appearance of bureaucratic delays, any obstacles and intrigues on the part of officials.
To see a monument to yourself, not a cemetery, but a sculptural monument in the square is a bad sign. Such a dream warns of imminent death. You should pay utmost attention to the smallest details of vision. It is in them that a detailed decoding of the circumstances of the future lies, little things indicate where to expect danger.
But the tombstone to the dreamer himself is seen for a long and fulfilling life. This symbol is a good sign. But even in this dream, the smallest details and details are important. For example, you need to pay attention to whether there are cracks in the monument, the weather in the cemetery. Cracks are difficulties on the path of life. Accordingly, the more of them, the more difficult the fate of a person will be. Weather is a symbol of what will surround the dreamer in life in general, outside the close family circle and personal interests.
If you dream of a tombstone for another person, then this is an occasion to rethink your own priorities and life values. That is, to think about the meaning of one’s own life, its conformity to inner desires and spiritual needs.
What is written in Longo's collection?
The construction of a monument to himself, this dream book interprets as evidence of endless vanity, ambition and desire to become famous. If other people erect the monument, then success and public recognition will come to the person. But with independent construction of the monument, the meaning changes. Such a dream suggests that the dreamer will not wait for recognition by people.
