In my experiences dream interperetation is a deeply personal thing. I dont agree that you can interperate your dreams according to someone elses formula in accordance with what they identify different symbolysms to mean.
Each aspect of your dream is relating to a personal feeling,thought, desire, memory etc and your associations with each character, scene, feeling are all very much different than those of any other person.
Your associations are a result of your experiences in life and your spiritual and mental personality.
In my beliefs and experience dreams are a deeply spiritual and personal state of learning from yourself and your guides. They are messages from yourself to yourself....from one level of awareness to another.
They are cryptical in nature so you must "decode" them to understand them.
Every dream is a sacred gift. You can interperate this gift best by yourself by first bringing as much of it into your consciousness as possible by writing them down complete with how they felt.
How many details you remember directly affects your success at getting the full message out of them.
Ask yourself questions and answer them. If there are blanks dont fill them in with maybes, leave them blank and they will fill in later.
Then for each important point of your dream write what feeling or memory you associate with each moment or event or word.What does each thing mean to you personally?
Then re-read it replacing each symbol with its connection and see if it makes more sense to you.
You will find that with practice you will be able to eventually awaken with the understanding without the process of conscious interperatation.
Once you realise the importance of recieving the message they will come clearer and frequently and guide you through your life with more confidance.
Hard to cram my views into a quick post but thats the short of it.
Dont rely on anything but your 'gut' to interperate your dreams or you will never get the underlying personal gift.

peace, and happy travels
