Six Basic Hints for Dream Work
One
All dreams speak a universal language and come in the service of health and wholeness. There is no such thing as a “bad dream” — only dreams that sometimes take a dramatically negative form in order to grab our attention.
Two
Only the dreamer can say with any certainty what meanings his or her dream may have. This certainty usually comes in the form of a wordless “aha!” of recognition. This “aha” is a function of memory, and is the only reliable touchstone of dream work.
Three
There is no such thing of a dream with only one meaning. All dreams and dream images are “over-determined” and have multiple meanings and layers of significance.
Four
No dreams come just to tell you what you already know. All dreams break new ground and invite you to new understandings and insights.
