Dream Interpretation and Poetry - Interpreting Love Poems

I was looking for keywords in order to write my next article, and since I just wrote two e-books about love and happiness and the interpretation of dreams about the person you love, I was looking for keywords related to love. Then I saw that one of the best keywords was "love poems".

If you know my story, you know that I have been a writer since I was 7 years old. I have a great literary talent, but instead of becoming a literary writer, writing mainly poetry, which is my passion, I learned how to translate dreams, continuing the work of the famed psychiatrist Carl Jung.

The continuation of the work of a psychiatrist transformed me into a psychiatrist too, the same way that a psychiatrist became a language translator when he tried to decipher the mysterious meaning of our dreams.

I abandoned literature because I became a doctor and I didn't have time to be also a writer and keep writing poetry.

However, since I saw that there are so many people caring about love poems and since I love writing poems, now that my English is better, after writing so many articles for you, I dared writing two love poems, with the intention of perhaps creating a collection of love poems at my first site, near my e-books about love and happiness and how you can interpret dreams about the person you love, your bonus.

I wrote my two first poems easily, but I really don't have time for poems because too many people are still sending me their dreams for professional translation and psychotherapy, taking advantage of my summer offer, which is coming to an end.

Anyhow, perhaps after the summer offer and the completion of my new e-book Dream Interpretation as a Science - The Cure for All Mental Illnesses, with all the collection of dreams that I collected on the internet from people all over the world, I will have more time and I may continue writing love poems, which, for me, are very easy to be written.

However, since I'm also your teacher and I've been giving you lessons about the scientific method of dream interpretation through my articles, I had the idea to use my first love poem in this article in order to show you how poetry helps you understand better the dream language.

This is why I, a poet, could translate better the dream messages, than Carl Jung, who discovered the correct method of dream interpretation but was a doctor, who lived far from the meaning of the words, languages and translations.

Here is my first Love Poem:

Secret Love

Nothing seems possible or real.

Nothing is simple or attainable.

Will the ocean between us disappear?

Will all walls extend their limits?

Nothing seems sensible.

But nothing can be hidden for very long.

Life asks for our ticket, and examines us at length.

Our facial expressions reveal

the obvious secret...

Is this dream ever going to come true?

Will I ever manage to be near you?

The answer is so difficult...

The future, so cruel...

Separated by the ironic distance,

our eyes and our existence

look for bridges and invisible connections,

beyond ephemeral minutes

and their multiple dimensions.

........................................................................

Now I'm going to interpret the meaning of this poem according to its linguistic value. You'll see that the interpretation of a literary work is quite similar to the interpretation of a dream, even though when you learn to exactly interpret your dreams you become a true translator: you translate images in words.

You are not an "interpreter" anymore, because the interpreter is the one who tries to understand the hidden meaning of a certain text, while the translator simply translates words from one language to the other, without looking for any meaning before exchanging the words from one language to the other. This is quite different!

While Carl Jung was a beginner and therefore a dream interpreter, trying to understand the mysterious meaning of the dreams without enough knowledge, especially because he abandoned the research into the unknown region of the psyche, I who continued his research and had a better notion about how to interpret the meaning of a literary work, can present you a method of dream translation, which is much more accurate than the vague method of dream interpretation used by Jung.

Let me show you now the literary interpretation of my first love poem:

"Secret Love

Nothing seems possible or real.

Nothing is simple or attainable.

Will the ocean between us disappear?

Will all walls extend their limits?"

The title defines the poem, showing us that it is about a secret love.

Nothing is possible, real, simple or attainable. We see that there is a great difficulty. This is a love between two people that are too distant, either geographically or socially, or for many other possible reasons.

And here begins the poetical expression:

"Will the ocean between us disappear?

Will all walls extend their limits?"

The ocean cannot disappear and walls never extend their limits because they don't have any plasticity. So, I, the author, am trying to show you that what I desire is something impossible.

When we interpret the literary meaning of a text or poetry, we try to understand what the author's intention was. We search for the meaning that the author gives to his literature, we try to discover what the author wanted to express with the words that he or she chose to use. We don't give our personal opinion about the document and its meaning.

So, with the words "ocean" and "walls", we understand that there are tremendous obstacles to be overcome, so that the couple in love will be able to be together. This is a very difficult matter.

Continuing:

"Nothing seems sensible.

But nothing can be hidden for very long.

Life asks for our ticket, and examines us at length.

Our facial expressions reveal

the obvious secret"...

Here we have a metaphor, a personalization of "Life" as if life was a person that checked for our tickets when we are traveling.

With this metaphor the author shows us that life is a trip, we are in constant movement, and some day we have to give answers, which cannot be avoided.

This part shows us also that the truth cannot be hidden, no matter how much the couple may try to hide it, since other factors denounce them, factors that are beyond their control.

Now, you may think that the author used the words "ticket" and "secret" only because they make a rhyme. However, keep in mind that when an author decides to use certain word in a poem because it ends the same way as another one, he or she has always to choose the word that fits also with the meaning of the text.

Art, the purpose of each word and the purpose of each meaning, make the poem together.

Continuing now the poem:

"Is this dream ever going to come true?

Will I ever manage to be near you?

The answer is so difficult...

The future, so cruel"...

The first two questions and the first answer are easy to be understood, without interpretation. However, the last statement makes us wonder what exactly intended the author to show us with the phrase: "The future, (is) so cruel".

The future appears in a metaphoric form, as if the future was a person, since only a person can be cruel.

Why is the future cruel? The author could describe it with positivism presenting perhaps a possibility of a meeting and a relationship between the couple in the future, but the future is described as being cruel, what means that in the future more impossibilities and obstacles may separate the couple, instead of uniting them.

And now the end:

"Separated by the ironic distance,

our eyes and our existence

look for bridges and invisible connections,

beyond ephemeral minutes

and their multiple dimensions".

The first sentences are clear and we can easily understand their meaning. However, what exactly do these words mean: "Beyond ephemeral minutes and their multiple dimensions?"

Ephemeral is that which lasts only for a very short period of time. The minutes are really ephemeral, because time passes very fast and the minutes have a very short duration.

But what are the multiple dimensions of the minutes?

Let's examine the entire paragraph in order to understand completely its meaning:

"Separated by the ironic distance, our eyes and our existence look for bridges and invisible connections, beyond ephemeral minutes and their multiple dimensions".

So, the lovers' eyes and all their existence look for bridges and invisible connections in the short minutes of such possibility and in their multiple dimensions, meaning that these short minutes have a continuation.

They are extended to another level, assuming a different form, so they are no more ephemeral, since they remain, either in the form of memory or in the form of many consequences that result from the brief contact of the couple during only brief minutes.

These could also be the brief minutes where a certain connection between them is possible, even when they are not near each other.

Therefore we understand that the author is talking about a secret love almost impossible to become a relationship between the couple.

You may believe that this is something you understood from the beginning, because this poem was not difficult to be interpreted, but now you have a clearer idea about its meaning.

Now, you can also better understand how we interpret a dream.

In opposition to what happens when we try to interpret a dream, if we know how to exactly translate the dream symbols, we don't have to guess and try so hard to understand what the dream's author is trying to say. We simply translate the dream scenes without difficulty, giving known meanings to the dream images.

We know for example that the ocean symbolizes craziness. So, when we translate the dream, we use the word craziness in the place of the ocean. We keep putting words in the place of the images and this is how we discover what exactly the dream is trying to show us.

If the sentence "Will the ocean disappear?" was part of a dream, we would translate it as: "Will craziness disappear?" since the ocean is a very important dream symbol. This is what we do: we look for known dream symbols and we translate their meaning, relating them to the other parts of the dream.

When you learn the dream language according to the accurate translation provided by the scientific method after my simplification of Jung's method, you discover that it is not difficult and mysterious at all, as all dream interpreters until today have presented it.

For them it is still mysterious because they are guessing, like I was guessing when interpreting the literary meaning of my first love poem, especially when I interpreted the meaning of the minutes' multiple dimension.

Another interpreter could give them another definition, because an interpretation is the result of a subjective view of what the author was trying to say. Each one interprets the words of a poem in a different way when trying to understand the author's intention, even independently of their personal opinion.

Imagine now what happens when the interpreter expresses only his or her own opinion, without caring about the author's intention...

An accurate dream translation is totally different from a subjective dream interpretation, which is quite similar to a literary interpretation.

When we translate the dream's meaning, we don't guess: we replace images by known meanings, the same way we do when we translate one language to the other.

Three Short Love Poems

Here is a compilation of three short love poems written by twelve-year-old Emily. The first is a short poem about how Emily loves her teachers. During the school year, her literature class was given an assignment to write a letter to a departing teacher. Emily asked if she could write a poem instead and was given permission.

The second poem was written for a hand made card that Emily made for her mother for Mother's Day. Similarly, the third was written for a hand made card for her father for Father's Day.

The Last Day

by: Emily

The saddest thing

It's hard to say

Is seeing you on

Your last day.

I take it for granted,

Though I see you a lot,

Just how much you do

And your kind thought.

You helped me understand

Things I couldn't before.

I can't bear to watch you

Walk out of that door.

Though I'll miss you,

I know indeed

You'll do great out there

Planting new seeds.

"What seeds", you are asking

"Why can't I see?"

But you have already

Planted one in me.

It will grow and grow,

As I learn more and more.

Each day I'll remember

What you taught me before.

I'm happy for you

To plant more seeds.

I know they will grow

Without any weeds.

There won't be weeds.

Yes, of that I am sure.

For you have touched them.

Now they are pure.

The saddest thing,

It's hard to say,

Is seeing you on

Your last day.

A Mother's Day Poem

by: Emily

Mom, I love you.

That is true.

All the way

To infinity, too.

Now that I'm older

And wiser, too,

I realize just

How much you do.

Most of the time

I don't look to see

How many things

You do for me.

For this I am sorry.

Next time I'll try.

You are wonderful,

And I'm glad you're mine.

(Emily really can put out what she feels in a love poem, even at age twelve. I hope you see this in time for your next Mother's Day because it is probably how your child feels about you, whether spoken, written or acted.)

A Father's Day Poem

By: Emily

This is for you,

Dear Daddy of mine

To let you know

I think you're devine.

A bunch of years

Have flown by real fast

But do not worry,

I'll always keep our past.

It'll travel with me

Wherever I go.

I'll remember the times we've had

So long ago.

Please don't be sad,

Dear Daddy of mine

For there are more to come,

You will find.

I'll always remember

Those things we did

Like snowmobiling

(When Mommy was hid).

Riding our bikes,

Hitting golf balls,

Getting up on skis,

Without a fall.

Driving the golf cart,

Nicktoons Racing,

Jumping on the trampoline,

And later your back aching.

No matter where we go

Or what we do,

In my heart always

There's a place for you.

I hope this card helped

You to see

Just how much

I love you, Daddy!

(More telling than the exact words are the eyes of the daughter as she watches her father read the personally prepared poem. I feel that all children can write down their feelings. Some may not be able to put in poem format, but I see them as poems anyway as they are from the heart. This may be the best way for them to express themselves.

When you see some spare time for your child coming up, why not give some space, and provide pencil and paper. Ask your child to write about how he or she feels about birds, or snow, or the blue sky, or you, or whatever. My guess is that you will be surprised!)

Writing the Perfect Love Poem

Writing a poem may be a huge challenge to those that have never done it before or even for those that have, but feel that it may not be powerful enough. What should be in a romantic love poem? What words should I use and how will I put it?

The beauty of a poem is that it does not necessarily have to rhyme. It can be whatever you want it to be, as long as you are completely honest. Describe in the poem the feeling you get everytime you see her face, how you heart pounds when she walks into the room, how every smile she gives you reminds you of a sunset. It all boils down to your own emotions. Try to be as vivid as possible and read it over and over until you feel that you are satisfied with what you wrote and put yourself into your partner's shoes and think if this would make your day if you got a similar poem.

Should you feel that your poems words are dull and flat, then the perfect program for you would be Microsoft Word. Like most of you know, by right clicking on a word and scrolling to synonym, you might find a word that will fit perfectly and best describe what you are feeling.

Doing some research and finding poems that are related to what you are writing about may well help you in your quest and give you some great ideas and understanding of what love poems are really about. You may also read some romantic novels to give you a better idea and vocabulary to impress the one you love.

Always be honest, vivid and descriptive of every feeling. Good luck!

How to Share a Love Poem

For those trying to impress their boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse, a carefully selected love poem can be the perfect gift, a chance to express a feeling that may not have been easily expressed otherwise. Not everyone has the gift of language that William Shakespeare or Emily Dickinson did in their lives, but everyone can study and share their words with that special someone.

Knowing What You Want to Say with a Love Poem

There are numerous steps to sharing a love poem with someone you care about. The first of those steps is to decide how you want to express your love. Poetry is a profound art form because it is so versatile and the great poets in history have used the form to show that. Write down exactly what you want to say in your love poem - you may be able to find a poem written three hundred years ago that expresses your same sentiments.

The love poem you select should have special meaning for you and your loved one. Try to find a love poem that expresses a special connection only you two have, a secret message that he or she will immediately recognize. Read numerous love poems before making your decision. Poetry has been used by men and women for centuries to express feelings of love. The love poems you read might inspire you further.

Selecting Your Love Poem

Once you are absolutely sure what you want to say with the love poem you select, you should decide whose poetry best represents your feelings. For that, you must know who the greatest love poets of all time are.

William Shakespeare

One of the most often quoted writers of love poems is William Shakespeare. In fact, everything Shakespeare wrote was written in verse, including his numerous plays. However, it is his sonnets you will want to inspect for those nuggets of poetic gold. Read Shakespeare's love poems carefully as not all of the 154 sonnets are directed happily towards a loved one.

Rumi

As Rumi once said, love poems are but "a mere reflex of that huge interior reality we call love". Yet, he is still considered one of the great poets of all time, his work considered in the Muslim world second only to the Qu'ran. His love poems are short and simple, evoking vivid imagery and speaking to the details of a lover. Millions have used his poems to impress a lover.

Elizabeth Barret Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote what is probably the biggest cliché in any love poem, "How do I love thee, let me count the ways." However, Browning's love poems in Sonnets from the Portuguese, written for her husband Robert Browning are considered some of the finest English language love poems of all time, a fine choice for anyone looking to impress a significant other.

Thousands more wrote millions of love poems that you can use to help capture a special someone's heart. You must merely know where to look and what you want to say. Poetry can do the rest.

Gray Ward loves to use poems to express his feelings for the right occasion, why not enjoy more articles and poems by visiting his website at http://www.poemanswers.com or http://poemanswers.blogspot.com where you too will find the right poem for you.

Love Poems

It is true that love is a spontaneous emotion, which should neither be artificial nor forced.

One of the best ways to express one's thoughts is to pen a beautiful poem. As we know, a poem is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, wherein thoughts flow freely like a river. This is perfectly suited for love.

Love poems have been an integral part of any literature, whether it is Western or Oriental. In fact, some of the best literature is related to love. Love is all pervasive and cannot be confined to any particular race or community. Hence, love poems have existed since ancient times.

To testify this, we all are aware that even in the history of English Literature, there was a particular period when "romantic poems" were in vogue and "romantic poetry" was the talk of the town. To name a few exemplary romantic poets from England: Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, Byron and Blake. Their poems are masterpieces and treasured by posterity.

A few lines from one such love poem, written by Taryn Grace, are a clear indication of a lover's thoughts.

I'm at your feet

and I come with gifts

my body, heart, and soul

They're yours to do with as you please

to command and to control

I give myself with all my heart

I'm yours for all of time

Your slave, your queen, your anything

only say that you are mine

In a love poem, the author can use his imagination and creative skills to give the exact meaning of his thoughts and provide a true picture of his views on love.

Similarly, a love poem can be easily identified by the language itself. The poet usually describes his lover as a Goddess or an angel. Not only that, a love poem is written by a person who is immersed in love and imagines that his world revolves around that "special person" only. To quote a lover's words, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

Love has the power to change an ordinary person into a genuine poet, thereby encouraging him to write delightful love poems. Normally, the language of a love poem is simply flattering, and sometimes exaggerated, too.

Sometimes, a lot of negative thoughts tend to creep in a love poem if the poet is suffering due to lost love or unfulfilled love. Such poems reflect his shattered dreams, agony, and frustration.

Love is an eternal feeling- so expect love poems to reflect the changing times even though love remains the core theme always.
