I don't understand it. I have absolutely no problems interpreting other people's dreams for them. For example, I interpreted my husband's dream he had last night in which we bought a run down house that was falling apart, neglected. Every time he turned around, there was some sort of problem with the house, but when I turned around, I found some sort of valuable treasure. As I see it, he views himself as a pessimist, and me an optimist. Perhaps needing to find his own optimisim amongst his pessimism.
I also had little trouble interpreting this young woman's dream about devils and demons in a house...that demons indicate personal struggles and fights within...that each room can be representative of things/people/feelings within her life, etc
I have absolutely NO problems interpreting dreams, but when it comes to Tarot...I draw a complete blank!! Why is that??? As I see it there isn't much difference between tarot and dream interpretation, they all rely on symbolism. So why can't I interpret tarot symbols, but I can interpret dream symbols? It doesn't make sense!

Consistent cards and conflicting classes
I'm currently enrolled in a Tarot class to help me better learn my cards. I tell you, I've only done two lessons so far and already I'm struggling. Interpreting cards is difficult.
Anyways...I'm currently doing a lesson in which I have to ask 5 separate questions and interpret a card for each. I got frustrated with one, cause I couldn't interpret it for the question, so I tried again to pull another card...what happened???? I PULLED THE SAME DAMN CARD!!! lmao. Oh how I wish I could figure out what the hermit has to do with health! Why is my mind going so damn blank!
I know I'm trying too hard, but I have a tarot journal in which I have to understand 10 cards, identify what they are, identify symbols, describe them and interpret them...PLUS, do these 5 questions, PLUS find 5 significator cards (I don't even know if I KNOW 5 people lol). Stress is getting to me. I feel there is too much for two weeks. A person who has very little to no knowledge of the Tarot, cannot identify and interpret 10 tarot cards, figure out 5 questions and interpret them with 5 different cards, THEN find 5 significator cards ALL in the span of 2 weeks. Sounds like a lot of time, but it's really not, especially when life gets in the way of study. I have two kids and a husband who works odd shifts. I get maybe a total of 3 days in which to do something for myself. At least my "spells" class is a little more tolerable. I don't find it difficult...but it's being pushed aside for my tarot class because all my time has to go into interpreting these cards and is causing me stress. Maybe I'm not cut out for reading tarot cards. It just seems like too much work!

**Update**
Well I un-enrolled myself from the tarot class. It was just way too much for me. I understand how I was to do my assignments, but it was really just too much for me. I want to focus on my spells class. I'm a touch behind in my last assignment because I was so worried about the tarot class, but now that I've taken myself out of that class, I can put 100% into my spells class...I just have to remember not to try taking that class again. Too much for me.
