Imagery is the language of dreams. Dreamscapes are pulled from life, childhood; what you read yesterday, what you did. They also urge you to see that you are a universe, aren’t confined to a single planet, or only one country, much less to the inside of your skin. However, the dream maker seems to think it is important to know this truth while you are still alive in the body. Dreams clearly point to a spirit that knows you well, that is watching from the background and sees your life unfold. Her language is poetic, but you are meant to understand. More than understand, you are meant to trust what the dream maker brings, to believe in yourself. If you establish a strong resonant communication with dreams, events in your dreams will show up symbolically in your waking life. This spirit, the dream maker, is rooted, or elevated, deep in the mystery of the Other, but she is always trying to break through, to become an active spiritual ally to your waking self. Compassion for our humanness, our fears and anxieties are a frequent theme of dreams. It is true that the dream maker is primarily concerned with the big picture, the journey of the soul, the expansion of your world, the fulfillment of purpose. But she also cares about your particular fears and loves, the day’s problems and delights. Just when you think she’s forgotten you, she arrives – a behind-the-scenes angelic presence shows the supporting structures holding you. The dreamer travels an arcing path high above a city. She is terrified as she cannot see a road. The view shifts. Now the dreamer sees that underneath is a supporting bridge, a road that underpins the path. |
