The Language of Dreams: The Open Door to the Unconscious
Every night, as we close our eyes, we become the film directors of our own psyche. As Carl Jung claimed, dreams are not random nonsense, but the attempt of the unconscious to compensate and balance our conscious mind. Ignoring a dream is like leaving unopened a letter from a friend who knows us better than anyone.
Symbol vs. Meaning
We do not dream of "things"; we dream of symbols. Dreaming of water does not always mean thirst; it represents your emotions. If the water is clear, there is peace; if it is cloudy, something is distressing you. Like The Moon in the Tarot, the dream projects light onto what is hidden in the shadows.
How to begin interpreting
The first step is recording. Upon waking, before moving, try to remember the feeling of the dream. Was it fear, joy, nostalgia? The feeling is the key to the meaning. Do not look for generic dream dictionaries; look for your own association. To you, a dog might mean loyalty; to another, it might be fear. In this mystical blog, we invite you to be the detective of your own mystery. Your soul is speaking to you; you just have to learn to listen.
