Dreams, like good poetry, can be a portal to our souls, allowing us insights, awakening to realities our conscious minds may not yet know. They can give us a glimpse of the future, warn us when we are off our path, help "detoxify" our psyches from news we've absorbed from the media that needs to be deleted.
It helps to work with a support group to understand archetypes and get feedback when a dream seems utterly confusing. It also helps to invite dreams into our awareness so they feel welcome, and record the ones we can recall. In many ancient traditions, dreams were considered sacred, a special message from a wiser place within us. In this world of constant technological updates, maybe it is a good time to honor and reflect on our dream life as a valid way of better understanding ourselves, including our shadow parts we may prefer to ignore.
Working with our dreams requires some patience, faith, and courage, for they can give us access to the unknown, and are not always pleasant or easy. Give it a try if this interests you. You alone decide what rings true when a dream whispers (or shouts) in your sleep time. It is your choice to explore or ignore your dreams!
