The question is whether we are open to
receive it, trust it and act on it.

Our dreams give us meaning and messages every night, pay attention and write the Theme. As your day and week goes by you'll see how the dream fits into your day to day. Understanding dream symbols is very personal, depending on how you emotionally feel about the symbols in the dream.

Dreams also relate on many levels; some are immediate and about your mental space. Sometimes your body is telling you in symbols about your health and wellness. It takes working with the Theme, and finding out what the symbols mean. Several web pages now on dream symbols.
The mind "speaks" in symbols, to be interpret by the conscious mind. There are Universal Symbols, and there are puns and all kinds of symbols and meaning. It's a very interesting and valuable part of our lives to understand what our sub-conscious mind and higher mind is communicating to us.

It is worth looking into and learning about this whole other part of your self, after all it is coming to you from you, why not pay attention?
Pleasant dreams..Ana

A dream can warn us of potential danger.
Frequently things that trouble us crystallize in a dream.
Everyone who sleeps, dreams, including animals.
When you take a nap, you are ten times more likely to remember your dreams.
On average, we sleep for a third of each day. Take your age and divide it by 1/3 and you will know how many years you have been asleep, on the other side, in this lifetime. For example, if you are 30 years old, you have slept for 10 years.
Many dreams bring messages, some part of your soul's evolution. Dreamtime is often a place of transformation for the soul where it awakens afterward enlightened about the next step on its journey into awareness. This is a time where the soul and mind process the path of the questor who returns in higher frequency of thought and personal mission.
If you can perceive of your dreams as projected illusion, in which you are experiencing and learning, then so too shall you look upon your experiences in the physical, and unlock the mysteries of humanity.
From the point of view of dreamtime and other realms of conscious awareness, our reality is but a projected illusion in linear time.
