Q: What role do dreams play in our lives?
They act as a safety valve for the subconscious. They help release pent-up emotions, memories, hurts, and worries. Additionally, dreams can provide creative solutions and reveal multiple dimensions of our experiences. Primarily, they serve as a way for the body to decompress from the day’s activities, offering a chance for healing and acting as a kind of reset.
Dreams do not erase our experiences; rather, they help us organize them, much like filing documents in the proper cabinet. This organization allows our thoughts and feelings to coexist peacefully rather than being scattered and potentially resurfacing in future dreams or causing further emotional reactions.
Q: Is there a way to intentionally use dreams for creative solutions?
Yes, one effective method is to enter the sleep state through meditation. During meditation, set a clear intention for what you wish to receive as guidance during the night. This could include desires for creativity, healing, release, communication, connection, travel, or understanding. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
In this way, dreams can be utilized as a tool for guidance, connecting us to greater wisdom and knowledge. But their primary purpose is to put the body’s chemicals through the washing machine, ensuring emotional and cognitive health.
