Dreams

Dreams. A few years ago this was something I thought it's just a way of our mind to go through the daily events. A kind of a machine which orders all our feelings and impressions from throughout the day. And I still believe this is true, but it's so much more than that.

I have always dreamed. I basically have a parallel life in dreams. Sometimes dreams continue, sometimes they repeat, sometimes I have deja-vus in real life, cause I know I dreamed the exact same moments. When I dig deep in my soul in real life, I shake and sweat and cry in dremas, but then I also laugh and dance. Thinking of it now, I have no idea how I could think, that dreaming is not important. Maybe because the general opinion is like that, since "official science" can't really prove why and how we dream. What does it mean and where do images come from. And here I believe Jung was one of the most important people, who I respect more and more. According to him, dreams are messages from our subconsciousness or a way how our souls talks to us, how it transfers important messages, which our mind can't comprehend. Dreaming consist of symbols from our daily life, as these are the images known to us. If we would dream about something unknown, how would we then be able to communicate with ourselves. Dreams are your most natural guide and show you, where you truly are. Not where you think you are.

Some people around me say, that they can't remember a single bit. As per my own observations, I believe that not remembering your dreams at all, is a sign you are not in contact with your inner self. You don't allow yourself to feel, to go deeper, simply to talk to your self, your soul. It's nothing to be ashamed of, as generally nobody teaches us how to feel. How to understand yourself and your own emotions and this is a process we learn when we evolve throughout our life. Sometimes we even don't want to remember our dreams as they might show us what we don't really want to see or admit to ourselves. I often wake up tired from dreams and as I dream I'm climbing mountains a lot of times, trust me, I should be in hiking shape to go to Himalayas! What I want to say is, that dreaming can be tiring to your body. Although during our sleep our body is relaxed, when having tiring dreams, we can wake up as we wouldn't have slept at all.

Now, what do dreams mean? Normally, it's difficult for ourselves to interpret them, as we're emotionally involved. And it helps to have somebody who knows you well or with whom you can share the meaning of the symbols/people/places/events/wishes/fears, yet they remain neutral. Even if you don't want to be, you are. But the recipe is, to figure out, what the characters in your dreams symbolize. Let me give you an example. I rather often dream of my ex-boyfriend. And I wondered if I really was over him...now what he means and meant to me, is whole another story, but I have gotten over him and what is important is, that he always appears as a symbol of past wish. There were many dreams we've had together and now when I am realizing them in my real life, his symbol comes as some sort of guidance. Or next example in my life are mountains. For the past two years a week doesn't past that I wouldn't dream hiking, climbing, mountains. And in the dreams I always hike uphill....and simultaneously in my reality I have always had climbs one of a kind. New relationship, new position at work, new course I applied to, new chapter of my soul search....So to me, it all makes perfect sense. And in majority of cases I have these dreams, before the real work begins in reality, so it's really like a "heads-up" from my soul, telling me, hey you have some work to do.

Also as you have probably noticed, in the past months, I didn't upload any post, because I was deep down inside of myself again. There was strong breakthrough happening last weekend and all my body energy from last weeks was concentrated for me to go through that one event, one specific emotion I had to become aware of. And in between my dreams were chaotic. Seriously....in the midst of tornado, which appeared in a mountain like in the middle of the Alps. Of course I was there....Anyhow I want to show you, that dreams can show what is ahead of you, what is just now around you, what should you do etc etc. And there any many different type of dreams, but I can't really tell more on how to know which one are which...not there yet.

So from now on, maybe you'll consider your dreams differently, pay more attention to them and write them down and then see and analyze what's going on around you in real life. I think you might be surprised....
