just as we all are gypsies of a sort in this life - in this world, so, too, we are in that other world - the dream world - the place where we are free to travel to places known or places unknown - free to travel far and wide - travel without fear - without trepidation - because just as we individually create our reality world, so do we each create our dream world -
Jung, on dreams, in his "ubergang":
a small hidden door to the most deep hidden and secret corners of the psyche, an entrance to the cosmic night, which was the psyche before there was any trace of an ‘ego’-consciousness:
and what will remain the psyche, no matter how far our ‘ego’-consciousness might stretch itself…
all consciousness acts to divide, but in our dreams we take the form of a more universal, true and eternal man who wanders through the darkness of the primal night.
There he is still the whole man, and this wholeness is in him, not distinguishable from nature and devoid of any ego-consciousness.
From this all unifying depth the dream arises; no matter how childish, grotesque or immoral the dream might be."

I always believe dreams mean somethng. Like they are messages from somewhere.
absolutely, saraha - messages from our other selves other worlds -
My sweet Jenean!
Your words as usual carry a wisdom which amazes me and makes me smile at the same time.
Beautiful!
Tell me Jenean, do dreams carry so much significance? I have seen so many dreams and many of them, if they come true, will wreak havoc in my life. So what are we supposed to believe and what not?
Do answer.
Lots of love

oh, thank you, deboshree - well, i'm certainly no expert on any of this - but i can tell you what i think or have experienced - in terms of dreams, i think the key is to find in each dream how it relates to what is going on in our lives at that particular moment - what the components of the dream really mean to us at the moment - i would start with keeping a dream journal - keep one with a pen beside your bed and every morning as soon as you awaken, jot down everything you remember from your dreams - and after a while you will be able to see if there's a common theme in your dreams and that will help you see how they relate to your situation - some things may be taken quite literally while others are more symbolic - but relate your dreams to your life situation and to your feelings at that time - does that make sense??? hope so! :)
