According to a long-held belief, salt sprinkled in reality portends a quarrel in the house, and to avoid it, you must immediately laugh. If the spouses are not complete brawlers, then this helps. But the question is: what is the dream of salt for and should you laugh after awakening, or at least smile to avoid possible troubles?
Laugh, but look in the dream books
First of all, recall that meeting every new day with a smile, or even better - with laughter - is useful, regardless of what dreams visited you at night. This, if it does not prolong life, as optimists say, then in any case makes it more pleasant. For those who believe in dreams, they are a kind of warning about various kinds of twists of fate. And they allow them to prepare properly, for good reason they say: "Forewarned - means armed."
In this case, dream books are a reliable and proven weapon against adversity . Why salt is dreamed about , they are explained in great detail. As for the measures that should be taken in the event of an unfavorable forecast, this is a purely individual issue, and everyone must decide for himself how to deal with the vicissitudes of fate. Let's say right away: when you see salt in a dream, it is better to wake up quickly, as it portends little joy.
Opinion of an overseas specialist
To verify this, it is enough to open a dream book compiled by one of the most respected experts in this field - American Gustav Miller. Investigating at the beginning of the 20th century the question concerning what salt is for, he came to very disappointing conclusions. This respected psychoanalyst argued that the salt seen in a dream in reality portends gossip and scandals. If the dreamer sprinkled food on it, then this means that in real life he will get bogged down in debt and will not be able to pay off his creditors.
For women, there is a special warning in Miller’s Dream Book about the question of why you dream about eating salt. It turns out that such a seemingly innocent and very vital story portends them problems in their personal lives associated with the appearance of a rival capable of "leading" a beloved man. However, not everything is so bad. If a woman dreams that she dissolves salt in water, then this, according to the American psychoanalyst, portends her a new and ardent love. Who knows, perhaps she herself is destined to become someone else's happy rival.
Human soul trainer
In addition to Miller’s dream book, written at the beginning of the 20th century, another unique work has been created overseas these days, explaining the secret meaning of dreams. This time, its author was a woman named Denise Lynn, who founded and headed the International Institute for Soul Training (no less!). As it turned out, this gentle and quivering substance, hidden from any attempts at scientific study, also needs to be trained.
Opinion of Ms. Lynn
Without touching on the methods proposed by her, we dwell only on how Ms. Lynn explains why salt is dreamed of. Having preceded her interpretations by a rather lengthy excursion into history and telling how much importance was attached to salt at different stages of the development of civilization, the learned lady told the world that her image was full of deeply positive meaning. That is why, seen in a dream, he is a harbinger of good, regardless of his plot context.
She made such a categorical conclusion on the basis of a number of esoteric teachings, among which the leading place belongs to Kabbalah, whose followers attach the magical meaning to the very name of this common product. Madame Lynn quotes the Holy Scriptures quite extensively, finding in it confirmation of her point of view. In general, every person who sees salt in a dream, thanks to its interpretations, will not have cause for disappointment.
Dream Explained in Aesop's Creations
Spent time interpretation of dreams and the famous ancient Greek poet and fabulist Aesop. He, in particular, explained why there is a lot of salt. According to the classic of ancient literature, the dreamer is expected in the near future serious tests, which he can overcome only with the help of people close to him. A particularly gloomy omen is salt spilled in a dream. In this case, adversity will watch him at every turn. But one should not be discouraged, since all of them sooner or later pass, leaving behind only a barely noticeable trace in memory.
However, Aesop left us a couple of optimistic interpretations. So, explaining why the salt, clogged in any vessel, was dreaming of, he wrote that it portended a safe deliverance from the machinations of certain ill-wishers who wished to inflict evil on the dreamer, but failed to realize their vile plans. Salt, carried away in a dream by a gust of wind, also promises good. It portends the imminent end of a gloomy strip of life and the approach of happy times. However, if it falls into the eyes of the dreamer, this may indicate that he does not fully realize future opportunities.
The opinion of connoisseurs of family life
We will now open the Family Dream Book and see how it explains why salt is dreamed of. The compilers of this publication, which is very popular these days, warn all “salt dreamers” that the vision that appeared to them in the night soon promises life disappointments, sorrows, and possibly serious psychological upheavals. They then discuss the meaning of a number of specific plots related to salt.
So, in their opinion, if a person drinks saline in a dream, then this indicates that his body is susceptible to a certain disease, which is in a latent form and at this stage is not manifested by external symptoms. In this case, not expecting a deterioration in well-being, you should undergo a medical examination.
Further in the same dream book it is said that the salt scattered in night vision can in reality turn into a family quarrel, and when laid in a glass jar, heralds the onset of a strip of anxiety and affliction. It is highly recommended not to eat salt in a dream with a large spoon (in reality, too), as this promises future betrayal of a loved one.
Dream interpretation inherited from Mayan tribes
Interesting information regarding dreams was obtained by deciphering the written monuments of the Mayan people who inhabited the American continent in time immemorial. Adapting the symbols used in them to the realities of modern life, the researchers created a dream book that included interpretations of night visions, adopted more than 2 thousand years ago.
It says that in past centuries, Native Americans, among other issues, were very worried about what they dream of buying salt or selling. As it turned out, in both cases they gave a completely optimistic forecast, promising the dreamer quick success in all his endeavors, and the more salt he bought (or sold) in a dream, the greater wealth awaited him in reality.
What to do in case of a dream
This interpretation is accompanied by a specific guide to action, also drawn from the texts of the Mayan tribes. It is recommended that, having seen one of the dreams mentioned above, in the morning take a large vessel (for example, an ordinary pan) and fill it up to half with concentrated brine, put it in a cool place. It is noticed that as soon as salt begins to crystallize on the walls of the vessel, money will begin to flow to the dreamer.
At the same time, a very alarming warning came from the Maya. They, in particular, say why in a dream there is salt eaten by a large spoon or simply by handfuls. It was already mentioned above that this is a bad omen, and in the Mayan Dream Book you can find confirmation of this.
According to the compilers, this is a sign of future failures. However, advice came from time immemorial on how to protect yourself in this situation. It turns out that enough, going to bed, put a candle near the bed and sprinkle fine salt on its fire. All misfortunes at the same time instantly disappear. At least 2 thousand years ago, this happened.
What nights can salt be sprinkled on?
Since a fascination with esotericism, a teaching based on a combination of mystical theories that are accessible only to a narrow circle of insiders, is very widespread in our time, we cannot ignore the Esoteric dream book that is fashionable today. It also addresses issues of interest to us. Despite the fact that the authors sometimes give rather traditional answers, the collection nevertheless deserves attention.
In particular, talking about why dreaming of sprinkling salt, they confirm the generally accepted opinion that this portends a close quarrel. However, a reservation immediately follows that only a dream possesses magical power, which visited us on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday and from Thursday to Friday. Consequently, the rest of the time, salt can be scattered absolutely with impunity.
A few more esoteric interpretations
Esotericism lovers answer in a very peculiar way to the question of why they dream of pouring salt on bread, meat or some other kind of food. According to all the same secret knowledge, a person who has been awarded such a vision must adhere to the decisions made earlier in real life and cast aside any doubts. Ahead of him, success awaits, and indecision can ruin the whole thing. At the same time, the dreamed slide of salt has a completely different meaning. In this case, there is reason to reconsider your decisions and try to find the mistake that has crept into them.
In the Esoteric dream book there is also a place devoted to the question of why the woman and the girl dream of salt. In this case, the interpretation depends on a number of circumstances. For example, if a woman is married, but does not intend to produce offspring (due to age or other reasons), then such a dream does not promise her anything but a family scandal.
It is a completely different matter if she is in a position or, at least, has such plans. In this case, the salt seen in a dream portends a safe birth and the health of the unborn child. As for young unmarried girls, then for them this dream can be a harbinger of tears. Carriers of secret esoteric knowledge believe that he promises them the departure of a loved one to a more successful rival.
Sometimes decisiveness is required
More optimistic is their interpretation of the dream seen by men. For the stronger sex this is a good sign. It testifies that the time has come to open your own business, which, although not immediately, will begin to bring substantial profits. The main thing in this case is to cast aside doubts and believe the prediction, since it was built, as was said above, on the basis of secret knowledge available only to a chosen circle.
