Dream Language

Spring rose

 

Dreams are said to be the language of God, symbolic messages. 

Dreaming is said to be a way our minds or inner being processes the day's events, thoughts and feelings.

Dreams are a way of putting the puzzle of daily life in order. A way of capturing the unconscious. A path to understanding the nuances that escape us.

Do you remember your dreams?

Most of us do not remember our dreaming hours. Yet while we sleep our dreams speak regardless of our memory of them.

The dreams that do come to the waking mind are vivid, begging it seems to be understood.

I like to think of dreams as songs: Often a song is playing in the background, as it plays I might feel it without being aware of its words or message. Later without knowing why, I catch myself singing the verse over and over. 

There is a message if I take the time to listen. Once I listen I often stop singing the verse, as if the song has been heard and the message no longer needs to repeat itself.

Shakespeare writes in MacbethDreams are the chief nourishers in life's feast.

 

 

I believe dreams speak to us of feelings and or thoughts that we have during the day that goes unexpressed or unnoticed. Dreams are the language of the heart and soul. They are tools provided for us to explore our deeper reality. Those unexpressed feeling and thoughts, those small events that tug at our sleeve pleading for our attention, and even the conversations of words spoken but not heard, are transformed into dream language. Nouns, verbs, and adjectives become people, places, things, colors, and distorted facts such as flying or falling, and more. Everything in our dreams, each faucet, each person, or activity is used as a symbol, a symbol of our hidden self, to show us who we are.
 
When we sleep our mind gathers the day like hand-picked fruit and provides a symbolic dream feast… Our dreams want to nourish us, they point to the table of our soul and say come sit down, feast on the richness of your life.
 
Dreams are the language of our inner being longing to integrate into consciousness.
 
What did you feast on last night?

    As always, your words paint a beautiful picture. Last night I feasted on memories that were way past their ‘best before’ date. Oh well, the process isn’t always sumptuous and exploration refuses to be tidy. I just love your analogy of ‘dream language’.

  3. Dreams can be magical.
