Interpreting dreams can be confusing. Tarot cards are one way to find more clarity.
Always start with a grounded memory of your dream. Think through where you were, what was happening, who was there, and how you felt. If you have a hard time remembering your dream, writing it out can help.
Once you have the dream in mind, clarify the question you want to ask. The cards can only be as clear as you are, so make the question easy to answer. Something like: What is this dream telling me or who is the person in the dream? The more specific your question is, the more specific your answer will be.
Direct your question to someone/something that can answer you from a trusted source. Your spirit guides or higher power are good options.
