Hi CANDC,
Can you look into those links? They don't work for me. I would love to read a PsychCentral article on dream interpretation.

Regarding the question of whether to get dream interpretation from myself or from others, I do think that ultimately it's up to me to decide if a particular interpretation resonates, but other people's feedback can be extremely useful to see into my blind spots. I believe that one function of dreams is to bring to conscious awareness things that I'm not very good at paying attention to in waking life precisely because they are my blind spots.

For instance, Thunder Bow's recent comment on my dream of the flying car as perhaps saying that my life stops taking flight when I over think things. It's obvious as a pattern in the dream now that he points it out, but it wasn't obvious to me at first because I'm pretty entrenched in my "over thinking ways." His interpretation does resonate with my own sense of what's true about my life, so that's good.
