"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things
which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe
Day dreams reveal as many insights as night time reveries. All it takes is awareness, the ability to pay attention, and ability to recognize symbols. Animals crossing our path can be indication of things to come. An accident can be the principle tool in slowing us down when we have ignored signs encircling us. The homeless teen living on the street can awaken our compassion and involvement in helping others.
Day dreams unfold before us. If we feel as though we are drowning, water is a symbol of emotions. Perhaps, we are over our head in issues of a personal nature. If we feel extremely over heated as though on a desert, we may have isolated ourselves and repressed too much anger. We may have wandered too far off the emotional grid feeling freezing cold. Perhaps we need to nurture or be nurtured.
It is challenging to give a complete picture of all that matters. Damage the car, leak in the ceiling, fall down, miss a turn, etc ... When we lack attention, we miss opportunities or scenarios reflecting insight. Everything around us is significant to our story. Pay attention and trust intuition. Go with a gut understanding and combine the snips of information. Day dreams can be a surprising resource.
