We began to hear about paranormal phenomena, transformational experiences and cosmic awareness. Spirituality and the search for the sacred entered the popular consciousness as acceptable life paths. My work in transpersonal therapy is primarily with people who have been seeking the high road in their lives but have detoured and found themselves stuck somewhere on the low road. They may be uncertain about their direction and confused by their conflicting emotions. Their dream characters and circumstances dramatically portray the ways in which they are stuck and what it will take to free them and get them back on the upward trek.
Dreams can be a map for the soul's journey, unlocking hidden secrets and opening new vistas.
I'll tell you one of my own childhood dreams that makes the point. This was a recurring dream I used to have as a youngster. In my dream there were two huge wire circles that were bigger than the earth, and I had to put the bigger one inside of the smaller one without bending them. The bigger one was dull colored and the smaller one was bright gold. As a child I didn't understand the message, I just got nauseated.
