Self therapy - if you have a scary monster or character in your dream, like the flapping bird of Sofia, ask (your subconscious) to dream of it again, and ASK the bird/monster what it wants of you - remember that everything in your dream is part of you, and it's you trying to tell yourself something.
Alternatively, you could try 'being' the bird, go into a sort of imagining, dreamy state and talk about yourself, the bird. Better do this with other people (I have done this on line with people quite successfully, asking questions!) But only you can interpret your dreams, in your context.
I have been a member of a dream group for the last 5 years, that's why I am pontificating but you don't have to take any notice!!
