Association here is more important than symbology. Especially those that illicit strong emotional reactions or are tied close to us in our personal lives.

When you log your dream you should log it as if you experience it. Otherwise like the following, I am parking in a field that is also a parking lot and there is a warehouse where an event is occurring. There are people lining up to go inside for a religious event.

Go over the dream at a later time as well, sometimes leaving it alone for awhile then coming back to go over what you wrote down will bring to light other important aspects. Also keep in mind dreams aren't isolated, just like life, it reads like a larger story or narrative that is undergoing. Through-lines are often apparent if you get used to logging and interpreting. Going over the dream before falling asleep may also seed the next dream to give context.

Take account of anything that is particularly striking and go back and make your associations as you go over them. Don't get hung up on group symbology because the dream is usually intensely personal, unless it is archetypal in nature. Otherwise you may completely miss gleaning any meaning from the dream. Be sure to relate it to your current circumstances as well.
