Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while, mostly just for fun, you know? But lately, I’ve been having these super vivid dreams, and I was like, “Hmm, maybe my cards can help me figure this mess out.” So, I found this thing called a “dream interpretation tarot spread” and gave it a shot. Let me tell you, it was kinda wild.
Getting Started
First, I needed to, like, chill out. I lit a candle, put on some chill music (no lyrics, just vibes), and tried to clear my head. This is important, ’cause you don’t want your daytime stress messing with your card mojo.
Then, I grabbed my deck. I have this Rider-Waite deck I got from a friend – it’s pretty basic, but it works. I shuffled the cards while thinking about the dream I wanted to interpret. It was this crazy one where I was flying, but I was also, like, super scared of falling. Weird, right?
The Spread
Now, for the spread itself. I found this one online, it had five positions, and I use it:
- Card 1: The Overall Theme of the Dream. What’s the big picture?
- Card 2: Hidden Influences. What’s going on beneath the surface?
- Card 3: Challenges or Obstacles. What’s holding me back or freaking me out?
- Card 4: Advice or Guidance. What should I do about it?
- Card 5: Potential Outcome. Where is this all heading?
I laid out the cards, face down, one at each position. Then, I took a deep breath and started flipping them over, one by one.
My Reading
Here’s what I got, and how I (very roughly) interpreted it:
- Card 1 (Overall Theme): The Chariot. Okay, so this is about willpower, control, and moving forward. Makes sense, I guess, with the whole flying thing.
- Card 2 (Hidden Influences): The Moon (reversed). This one was tricky. It can mean illusions, deception, or maybe something I’m not seeing clearly. Maybe I’m fooling myself about something?
- Card 3 (Challenges): Five of Swords. Ouch. Conflict, defeat, and maybe feeling like I’m losing a battle. Yeah, that fear of falling definitely fits here.
- Card 4 (Advice): The Star. Hope, inspiration, and faith. So, basically, don’t give up, even if things are tough. Keep believing in myself.
- Card 5 (Outcome): Ten of Cups. This is a good one! Happiness, emotional fulfillment, and maybe even a sense of community. So, if I work through this, things will turn out okay? Sweet!
Putting It Together
So, after staring at the cards for a good while, and jotting down some notes, here’s what I came up with: The dream (and the cards) are telling me that I’m trying to take control of my life (The Chariot), but I’m also dealing with some hidden fears or self-doubt (The Moon reversed). The fear of failing (Five of Swords) is holding me back, but I need to have faith in myself and my abilities (The Star). If I can do that, I’ll find happiness and fulfillment (Ten of Cups).
Honestly, it was pretty eye-opening. I’m not saying it’s 100% accurate, but it definitely gave me some food for thought. It felt like I was having a conversation with my subconscious, which is kinda cool. I’m still thinking about that reversed Moon, though… 🤔
Anyway, that’s my little tarot adventure. I’m definitely going to try this again with other dreams. It’s a fun way to explore what’s going on in my head, even if it’s just me interpreting pictures on cardboard. Might even try a different spread next time.
