"Extra" in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream with "extra" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "Extra effort" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I am wanting to put in as much effort as I can at work. I am hoping this will get a promotion". Dreams will link to thoughts which can be translated into quotes like this. Once you can think of a quote like this you start to really touch on the heart of a dreams meaning. In this case the dream hints at the dreamer wishing to put in extra time into making things just right.

Dreams are in the here and now which means that any analysis is made much more easier. Many people make the mistake of trying to link a dream to something in the long and distant past. So any analysis inevitably links a dream to something vague and deep in the past and too general to have any real meaning. In this case a dream where there is "extra" can simply translate into a word like "effort". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific in the here and now.

What immediately comes to mind will usually give you the answer to your dreams meaning. Dreams are in the here and now because they are part of the process whereby we transfer thoughts and emotions from short term into long term memory.
