Dreams are Amazing!

"I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long.

If we are in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time."

Winnie-the-Pooh

As we toss and turn, waiting for sleep to come to us, our brain spins the wheel to select a dream content from various subjects.  The wheel might stop at love, loneliness, fear, dissolution, fantasy, violence or  illusion.  

Emotional aspects float into our dreams and symbols are readily present.  Sometimes it is not the actual person in the dream, but rather what that person represents.  Violence can be our repressed anger or fear.   A dream can be a slight pause out of reality, a reprieve floating in the midst of clouds or stars.

Not only does the singular dream hold important content, but when we track daily dreams by the week or month, an unseen pattern emerges.  An overall theme links  the daily dreams and we gain insight to an expanding picture.  Dreams impact our lives whether we recall them or not.
