Dreaming is for our lives what dreamwork is for our souls. Images and stories and characters come to us in the night. They can disturb us, disrupt us, fascinate us, delight us, and ultimately they can guide us. These messengers from our souls, though, are often cryptic and obscure in their kinds of guidance. That's because the language that our dreams use is a symbolic one - so like any language,
it's a language we can learn, with patience and practice. Dreams remind us of what has been forgotten in our day or in our lifetime; in our careers or in our relationships. Whatever we forget, suppress, or choose to ignore in the light of day becomes grist for the creative mill of our dreams. So, in order to be healthy and whole, we best not forgot these parts of soul - they are often the gold, the best parts of ourselves. And often we long for them to tell us what we are missing or to give us a corrective to our conscious goals and intentions. Dreams can bring us back down to earth, lift us to the heavens, and remind us our heartfelt connections with others. I enjoy helping people learn the language of their souls. For years, dreams have been a fascination of mine. But more than entertaining -- and often dreams are that -- I can count on my dreams to tell me when my path has gone off course, to remind me of who I am, to help me see when I am too inflated or not nearly as accepting as I need to be. Dreams are our friends, and ultimately they are God's or the soul's or the Self's way of deepening and enriching our lives.
