I have problems understanding surrealism paintings. Most of the time I get
confused. How do we actually interpret or analyse a surrealist painting to
understand it's meanings? Are the interpretations of a surreal painting the
same as a dream interpretation? If so, can a book on dream interpretations
help on the symbolic images of a surreal painting?

That would be a proper response.

You don't. Surrealism (in part) was an attempt to prevent "understanding."

No.
> ..If so, can a book on dream interpretations
>help on the symbolic images of a surreal painting?
No. Try reading an art book about surrealism.
