But dreams speak the language of the unconscious, an entirely different realm than that inhabited by verbal language. They speak in symbol. They speak in emotion. They speak color and music. We are at our most powerful when we can bring our conscious mind into the world where the unconscious speaks, and unite both sides of ourselves.
Dreams harmlessly fulfill our urge to do unacceptable, evil things.
Dreams certainly can point out those wishes you're ashamed of wishing. But not everything in a dream is evil, just because society condemns it. And not all dream actions should be taken literally. You dream of violently killing your boss with a double-headed axe. The labrys has long been a symbol for feminisim and lesbianism.
