Dreams and Dream Interpretation

Integration is achieved through harmonizing imbalances between aspects of our functioning. For example, a source of imbalance, which is common in our society, is conflict between the head and the heart. Our education system places most emphasis on activities involving intellectual expression, such as science, and least on activities involving emotional expression, such as poetry and art. .
             When we ignore aspects of our functioning, our dreams will redress the balance by giving 'symbolic' expression to these aspects, while at the same time attempting to give healing for the conditions', which cause us to ignore these aspects in the first place. .
             If the messages and healing in dreams are constantly ignored or blocked then we may develop a physical problem in an area affected by the imbalance. This allows us to predict from dreams the physical problems a person will develop far in advance of any.
             physical symptoms. More importantly, our dreams show us what has caused us to be the.
             way we are. With this knowledge we can address the cause rather than the symptoms of.
             an illness. .
             Dreams also have a Spiritual dimension and guide us by indicating abilities we have, potential or otherwise, and what abilities we need to develop. Dreams of this nature also indicate what is preventing us from further developing a particular ability.
             Lastly, a dream shows us our reaction to the subject matter of the dream and why it is we react that way. For example, a dream may indicate that the dreamer's difficulty with relationships stems from conflict in their parents' marriage, which was witnessed by the dreamer as a child. This is useful when combined with therapy because it allows the dreamer and therapist to explore the real cause of the problem and select a suitable means for dealing with it. .
             Dreams come from your soul and are intended to help you progress along your life path. In sleep the focus of the physical world and the body is on hold and during this period your soul has a perfect opportunity to dialogue with your conscious mind.
