Your dreams may often appear to be completely nonsensical but they are answering questions for you that you are not even aware that you are asking. From questions like ‘How can I be more confident?’ to ‘How can I really express my needs?’, your dreams can provide the most honest and practical answers.
However, the answers that your dreams provide for you are not always immediately obvious. Rather than using conventional words and grammar, your dreams to speak to you in the language of imagery and metaphor. This is like a foreign language that you learned at school but have forgotten how to speak through lack of use. We all have a natural understanding of these images but often need to reacquaint ourselves with their meanings.
Your unconscious draws on a wide range of imagery when it creates your dreams. These images are not random but have accumulated meaning over thousands of years of human development. For example, when you dream of water, you are reflecting on your feelings and past experiences in waking life. We can hear these images in everyday phrases such as ‘floods of tears’, ‘feel it in my water’, ‘welling up’ and so on.
