Don't worry if you don't get the hang of it right away. The knack of interpreting dreams takes a while to develop and there isn't an easy way to learn it other than by interpreting your own through trial and error. Also, even after years of practice, many dreams just can't be figured out all the way down. All the same, interpreting your dreams is both interesting and therapeutic in itself even if you don't succeed completely every time, and that exhilarating flash of insight when you do figure out one of your dreams beginning to end will make it all seem worth it.
