Although we are all uniquely individual and each have our own unique dream vocabularies, we often have dreams that are familiar to us all. It may be that our own childhood houses were different in waking life, but when we dream about our childhood houses they often have a similar significance for all of us.
The content of familiar dreams mirrors the collective awareness that we all experience in our daily activities as we travel through life.
Our familiar dreams reflect the universal opportunities and challenges that we encounter in our waking lives. As we explore them we can find specific answers to universal questions such as ‘Who really am I?’, ‘Where do I need to go in life?’ and ‘How will I get there?’.
It can be tempting to think that the answers to these deeper questions are the same for all of us, but in the same way that our familiar dreams have specific messages for all of us, each of us needs to delve into the familiar to find our own individual truths.
