Today, this method is called dream incubation and it is known in various cultures around the world. Almost invariably a vivid dream will follow that clearly offers a helpful answer to the question. Dreams and Spiritual Energy Louis M. Savary, Ph.D. Dreams are about energy, the energy of our psyches. Dreamwork is about identifying that energy, releasing it, and putting it to work in our daily lives. The symbols in our dreams are containers of mental, emotional, and especially spiritual energy available for spiritual growth.
Dreams are incomplete without dreamwork.
When we do dreamwork for spiritual growth, we establish a relationship between the waking ego and the deepest self. Part of the dream ' s purpose is to put us in touch with our ultimate values and get us involved in our own spiritual development and growth. On one level, most dreams metaphorically reveal what is going on in a person ' s life and portray a current situation in a fresh light, a light from which we can grow spiritually, or holistically. In dreamwork we learn to use the energy contained in dream symbols on a daily basis in order to live our lives more fully, enjoyably, and holistically. The dream can provide guidance for healing and wholeness.
