"Recent" 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 something "recent" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "Changes" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I am having to get used to all the recent changes in my life. It's difficult but have to deal with it". 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 something "recent" in dreams
In practice "recent" 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.
- "Health getting worse / better" Are you down because your health has been getting worse? Can you not seem to shake off an illness? Are you starting to feel your age?
- "Depressed" Have you been in a low mood recently? Have you been feeling down recently? If so the dream is about you noting the changes in your mental health.

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 "recent" can simply translate into a word like "new". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific in the here and now. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I have been really enjoying this new program on TV. It's been a breath of fresh air". Dreams can be about something like this, even though it seems quite trivial. That is because dreams are about what we are thinking about right 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. 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.
