The Importance of ‘Context’ in Dream Interpretations

In Igbo spirituality, dream interpretation is never about symbols alone, it’s also about context. The presence of a specific person, animal, or natural element means nothing without knowing who dreamed it, when, why, how, and under what life conditions. This teaching explores how context shapes the true meaning of dreams, revealing them not as fixed codes but as living messages shaped by culture, timing, and spirit. Without context, a dream misleads; with it, the dream can become a map to guidance, healing, or destiny.
