Dreams

    Everything we suppress or ignore or deny in ourselves – whatever we push below the surface of our consciousness – ends up in the subterranean caverns of our dreaming. It is our psyche’s way of encouraging us to embrace our shadow, to restore the balance between light and dark, seen and unseen. Have you ever noticed what happens to the monsters in your dreams when you respond with love rather than react with fear, when you offer acceptance rather than rejection, when you seek to understand rather than judge? They mutate – the monsters are transformed into something less sinister, or they disappear completely.
