Hi bengibbard,
here's one by Amaretta:
1 ... 2 ... 3
.......4......
1 What happened in the dream? What was really going on?
2 Why did you have that dream? The situation in real life that could have caused the dream.
3 What is the dreams meaning? What did the unconscious try to tell you with it?
4 Practical advice.
For positions 1 to 3 you can lay as many cards as you feel you need.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A slight twist may give you this spread:
........1......
2 .... 5 ... 3
........4......
1 The dream. What did you understand of it?
2 and 3 Its hidden and deeper meaning.
4 What was this dream really about?
5 Why did you have this dream?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also varify a simple PPF spread, so does this spread by Srose.
1 ... 2 ... 3
1 Past. How is this dream linked to past events? What had an influence oder cause on it?
2 Present. What did it try to tell you? The dream itself.
3 Future. How can you use this dream for you real life? How can you use its meaning?
I hope one of these is suitable for your situation. If not, try searching the Tarot Spread Forum index for "Dream spreads" (post # 2) or pm me, I have a couple more spreads in store.
Blessings and all the good for your friend, Astraea Aurora
