A dream that has not been interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened. In the theological scheme that has come to have importance for me, dreaming, like intuition, is a valid way of knowing. Dreams are symbolic messages from the unconscious that come to guide me to health and wholeness. In this Musing, I hope to encourage participation in dream work as an integral part of a spiritual journey by offering two of my own dreams with their interpretations.
All dreams come in the service of health and wholeness.
No dream comes just to tell the dreamer what he or she already knows. Only the dreamer can say with any certainty what meaning his or her dream may hold. There is no such thing as a dream with only one meaning. All dreams speak a universal language of metaphor and symbol. All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life s problems.
