A dream's story elements are the settings, characters, and symbols.
The narrative components are the action, reaction, and resolution.

INTERPRET THE SYMBOLISM AND ANALYZE THE STORY
Interpret the symbolism by using three decoding techniques: associate, simplify, amplify.
Analyze the story for use of storytelling devices: metaphor, exaggeration, comparison-contrast.

CONNECT THE DETAILS IN CONTEXT AND REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE
