I have been fascinated with dreams for quite some time; I remember obsessing over them even as a child. As I got a bit older, I sought explanations for them often using a dream dictionary to reveal their meanings, attempting to discover the possible symbolism involved. As I began to learn more about how dreams can offer a glimpse into the subconscious mind, often revealing our most hidden desires, I was even more intrigued.
Mental exploration is an exciting concept that far too many (myself included - though I fight it) avoid out of shame or guilt over what they think they know and fear of what may lie ahead if they choose to investigate.
Discovering the hidden logic behind our dreams and fantasies can help us to gain tremendous insight in other areas of our personalities and lives, ultimately helping us to understand on a deeper level. The better we understand, the more deeply we can appreciate. I think when we can uncover and deeply appreciate the hidden aspects of ourselves, we are free to get even more out our lives.
