| Why Interpret Your Dreams? |
I'm serious, why should you bother to remember, interpret and
listen to your dreams? It's a lot of work, what will you get from it?
As with everything, there is a negative and a positive side to
working with your dreams. And, believe it or not, the negative
side is the positive side also -- or at least it can lead to it.
The Negative Side
The negative side of remembering and interpreting your dreams is
that you may come across a side of yourself that you really don't
like or are afraid to know about. When I first started paying
attention to my dreams, the negative side jumped up at me and
screamed. It screamed loudly and often. I couldn't get away from
it, no matter how much I denied it, no matter how hard I tried to
run, there was no getting away from it -- the TRUTH. The TRUTH of
who I am, and why I am who I am.
You may discover that you aren't (always) the "Miss Goody Two
Shoes" or "Mr. Nice Guy" that you profess to be during the day.
You may discover that your childhood was not all ice cream,
roller-skating and amusement parks. You may end up shedding
light on dark places and recall secrets long repressed. This is
scary stuff.
I won't lie; listening to and learning from your dreams is definitely
not all peaches 'n cream and red roses.
So, if it's not all rosy and wonderful, why should you bother?
The Positive Side
Well, the fact is that once you have faced and accepted the
negative, you can move on. Then the positive comes into play.
You go through a metamorphosis or catharsis and become -- you.
The you that you were always meant to be. Who was it that said,
"The truth shall set you free"? It's true -- really.
This, of course, is an extreme case -- such as mine. You may not
have so many dark places and secrets. Nevertheless, you will
become truer to yourself and therefore, you will find that you are
happier.
What my dreams did for me
In addition, to discovering my TRUTH, I discovered something else
about myself. I discovered that I could write. Listening to my
dreams opened a path to my subconscious (which is of course,
what dream work does) and I began to write. At first, I wrote poetry
and then lyrics; children's poetry and short stories followed. I give
credit for this to working with my dreams because until then I
never wrote a thing -- I had no desire or even a hint that I could
write.
So, working with your dreams can help you become more creative
-- a nice benefit, if you're so inclined. Keep in mind that creativity
comes in many forms -- writing, drawing, painting, composing,
quilting, programming, teaching, and even in improving everyday
tasks such as shopping and laundry.
