CHOOSE MY PLAN

HELPFUL TIP:

There’s probably a good reason why your character chose their career. Think about how certain talents and skills, a dominant positive or negative trait, or even an emotional wound might have influenced this decision. And once they're on the job, don't forget about the many work-related conflict scenarios you can throw at them to create tension and add complications.
OVERVIEW:
A dream interpreter analyzes and interprets their clients' dreams to extract possible meanings. The information they glean might be used to help their clients with self-growth and development. Other times, it can offer a window to the past, with the interpreter focusing on symbolism and contextual clues to unveil the client's buried feelings, emotional trauma, and resulting mental health concerns.

Dream interpreters may work in a private practice, out of a commercial office, or their personal residence. They might also work online, interpreting dreams via chat or video.

NECESSARY TRAINING:
No formal training is required for this career, though courses on dream interpretation can be taken. Psychologists who use dream therapy in their practices will have pursued coursework in this specialized area.
