Dream Interpretation

Thanks Josh and Marie. That will bring us to the top story of the evening. What are dreams and what do they mean? Dreams: Many of them are concerned simply with the day’s activities or preoccupations and have little to offer as symbolic expressions of the unconscious. However, many other dreams have a definite, purposeful structure, and their symbols point to an underlying idea or intention. These dreams are the language our unconscious uses to talk to our conscious mind. The general function of dreams that are rich in symbolic meaning is to restore one's psychological integrity, or wholeness. They fill in the gaps in our self-knowledge, making the unconscious, conscious. Now, on to interpretation courtesy of dreammoods.com …. (Videos play) Rachel Schlosser – Flying, War
