Understanding Dreams and How to Use Dreams to Have a Better Understanding of Yourself
Every night when we close our eyes and fall asleep, another part of our inner world comes alive. We dream. Sometimes our dreams are ordinary. We may dream about people we know, places we have been, or events from our everyday lives. Other times, our dreams can be strange and mysterious. We may find ourselves walking through a house we have never seen, talking to someone who has passed away, flying through the air, being chased, discovering something we have lost, or experiencing an entire story that seems completely real until we wake up.
