This had already been demonstrated with the precognitive dreams I had had up to this point in time. Connecting "through the cards" to this association, I took it to mean this would be a way to aid in working with this ability in waking life, as all my previous precognitions had come to me while in an unconscious state (sleeping). The next phrase, "I cannot make out entirely what the cards are saying," suggests some difficulty with this process. Immediately following is "I continue with the process," which is encouragement; it is saying that while the process (reading the cards) may be difficult, I need to continue on, not to be daunted. The last phrase to catch my attention was "studying them." I took this to mean that reading the cards would be something I would be studying in waking life. I mentioned the dream had a profound impact on my life. What happened after the dream was that I began reading about the Tarot. I went to the public library, which was close to my home, and checked out the only book on Tarot that was there. I didn't purchase my first Tarot deck until seven months later. I began studying and reading the Tarot for myself the next few years, as the dream indicated. It wasn't until a synchronistic event took place in my life that I began to read for others. When I go back to this dream, it made sense in another way. That first deck, as it turned out, was a challenge for me to work with, as were the playing cards in the dream. I pressed on though, as the dream had advised. Some time later, I purchased a second deck. When I got this deck, reading became so much easier for me. What a difference a deck makes! I wanted to share this dream so, you, the reader, can not only see how a dream can be interpreted, but also how it is asking to be applied to your waking life.
