Sigmund Freud was a trail blazer Suggesting dreams were more than Nonsensical, random images, Unfortunately he made them mostly repressed sexuality His student Carl Jung went beyond him Saying they were from a collective unconscious leading us to self completion Of the male (anima) and female (animus) parts. At that point we find a beautiful balance! Telescopes open the universe Microscopes open the infinitesimal The inner scope, is the dreams which open the unconscious The most curious aspect of dreams is they speak to us in symbols Symbols represent our emotional response What you feel during the day is something That is transformed into a symbol in the dreams Enblackenment is opening to the wonderful dream/visions Some dreams are significant to you alone Other symbols are part of the collective unconscious Symbols are used because of blocks and perceptual filters A picture speaks a thousand words Only you can ultimately know what is being said It must connect with all your other experiences Symbols as pictures are like shorthand Working with symbols might be compared to learning to play the piano After a period of practice your new skill Becomes a natural flowing easy part of your life Think of working with symbols as just learning another language They are a more accurate, more understanding More integrative level that enables you to Become aware of yourself as an interdimensional being. Some dreams are unique to you, giving insight to your feelings to others On a deeper analytical level sometimes everything is the dream are you You are the producer, writer, actor and director People in the dream represent qualities within you A house, building, store or other structure is you with all its rooms Any vehicle, car, plane, boat represents the self It is your mode of traveling or being in the world Water represents the emotions, fire is purification Air is the spiritual self and earth the physical self As you deal better with people in reality your dreams improve As your dreams improve your relations in reality get better By a process of circular causation with a cumulative change May you have wonderful understandable dreams
