"JOY" 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 "joy" in it may simply translate into a word like "children" (because children can often be full of joy)and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I saw a film yesterday with the most beautiful and happy child. It got me out of my bad mood which has been plaguing me recently". 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.

Keywords linked to "Joy" in dreams
In practice "joy" in dreams has several symbolic meanings. Here is the list at present. Try to write down quotes which capture your key feelings right now but which also feature the words listed below.
- "Happy and content" Were you in a very good mood yesterday? Was someone infectiously happy yesterday? Have you been under a lot of stress recently but you woke up in a contented mood? Do you tend to be in a positive mood and try to encourage others to be happy?
- "Children" Did you enjoy the company of some happy children the day before? Are you looking forward to a visit from some children?
- "Premonition of something good" Did something really positive and uplifting happen on the day after the dream? If so the dream maybe a premonition of this joyous mood or event? Have things suddenly turned out for the good?
- "Fantasies" Are you deeply in love and fantasise how good things can be in the future? Are you quite contented to live in your dreams?
- "Innocence" Is some of your innocence being spoilt? Do you enjoy being young and innocent and do not want to grow up too fast?

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 "Joy" can simply translate into a phrase like "fantasies". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I am constantly stuck in my fantasies. It keeps me happy. I know my crush doesn't really love me but my dreams keep me happy and content."

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. Simply look for associations with the symbols in your dream and think of what comes into your mind. When you make a connection look for other associations which will help you understand how your mind stores intuitive thoughts.
