Your dream is your story about you. Where you were today. How today fits into your whole life, the universe, and everything. Last night's dream is a window on your psyche, where it is, what's happy, what's not and where it can be going. The Dream Speaks in Analogic.
Dreams use figures of speech to create the images.
It is as though you talk through a series of ideas and then to express each of them in pictures. That makes a collage of images taken from your history, your imagery, your reading, your life. From an image in your dream the whole story of your life is revealed to you. Dreaming is a self-learning feedback system that tells you about you and your mind. The dreaming mind doesn't operate with daylight logic.
