People have been fascinated with dreams and as such dreams and their purpose have been studied intensively throughout the ages.
The ancients considered a dream to be authentic experiences of the soul. The ancients believed that during sleep the soul becomes detached from the physical body and roams both heaven and earth.
Dreams help us to fulfil the whole of our potential, focusing on the parts of ourselves that we are ignoring or neglecting. Dreams are a natural part of our inner growth and development and help in restoring and maintaining the balance between the various aspects of personality. Dreams help us to connect to our inner self and our real needs, connecting our unconscious with our conscious. Dreams are honest and give us valuable insights to our psyche. Dreams talk to us, they tell us what we are happy with, what we are not happy with, where we are at in our life and where we could be.
Dreams don't speak to us in plain English or use logic, rather they talk to us in a pictorial language, mostly in images, using metaphors, archetypical symbols, puns, word play, and symbols.
The four major components to dreams are the characters, the setting, the
actions and the emotions - all of which some consider to be
projections of what is going on in the dreamers mind.
