Dreams are among the most interesting things in life. You end up in a parallel universe where things can or cannot make sense. There are themes, ideas and concepts that try to transmit a message, yet most people fail to understand what their dreams are about.
A tarot dream spread can clear the fog and give you a few insights about the message sent by the universe, yet it takes a bit of experience to understand what’s going on. Let’s explore the themes most commonly met in dreams and what the best tarot dream spread is.
Tarot Dream Spread for General Interpretation
This tarot spread only needs three cards and offers a general interpretation of your dream. The first card goes in the middle. The second one covers it slightly. It goes on the top of the first card, towards the right side, slightly bent to the right.
As for the third card, it goes above the first two, separate and not touching.
The first card reveals things below the surface. Your subconscious mind is aware of these things, but your conscious mind can’t recognize them. Therefore, this card will reveal what exactly the message is about.
The second card shows what’s on the surface. It’s a general interpretation of the dream. It makes sense without too much interpretation, as it doesn’t hold too many secrets.
Finally, the third card is the most important one because it gives you the practical solution. This card reveals how the message can impact your day-to-day activities and life.
Tarot Dream Spread for Symbol Interpretation
This tarot dream spread is about symbolism. No matter how many symbols you see in your dream, that’s how many cards you need. You’ll need one main card and then as many cards as you require going around it in random positions.
Basically, you need minimum two cards for this spread, but there are no maximum limits.
Before starting this dream, you’ll have to write down every aspect in the dream that stood out. Anything, from people and actions to emotions and abilities. At this point, the first symbol becomes the second card in the spread. The second symbol is the third card and so on.
You need to make these associations before you start drawing cards.
The first card you draw is the overarching message and reveals the main theme of your dream. All the other cards are associated with symbols, one for each symbol.
Tarot Dream Spread for Patterns
Whether you see repeating symbols or complex elements in your dream, you need to understand the pattern. Clarifying these patterns is similar to interpreting symbols, but the tarot dream spread offers a deeper understanding.
At this point, you need to turn the cards around and divide the deck into three smaller decks. One for major, another one for minor and the last one for courts.
The first card is drawn from majors. It defines the main archetype trying to step out of the shell and send you a message. This archetype is trying to come out and push your life to another level. It’s a message that you need to go further and advance.
The second card is drawn from minors. This card reveals the shell the archetype tries to come out of. It can also tell you how this complex is affecting your life, whether you realize it or not. This card could help you find common sense in a few things in your life.
As for the third card, it comes from the courts. It relates to something in your life, most commonly a person or a figure. The complex tends to gain power through this figure, but it may also mean that this figure is triggering the complex without you realizing it. It’s basically the cause of the problem.
Bottom line, any tarot dream spread can reveal some insights into your dreams, but these three options are more popular and can easily shed some light on random mysteries haunting your dreams. There are more sophisticated spreads out there, but a few cards are usually more than enough.
