Hello Liara,

You know, I teach psychology to college students online and one of their favorite topics occurs when we cover dreams. If you don't mind, I would like to direct them to your site when we are at that unit because I feel they would get a lot out of it.

I thought the tips you gave for clarifying dreams was excellent. Most particular, if we listen to our heart, we will likely never be led down the wrong path (IF we listen).

Take care,

Melinda

Melinda, it is very generous of you to refer your students to this website. Dreams as a concept remind each human being that there is more to life and personal potential than is initially assumed. You are only limited or expanded by your mind and feelings.

Hi Liara. Thank you! This is too good to leave behind. I'm cutting and pasting into my records. It all sounds so crystal clear.

Davina, as you decide you will become more open-minded, this will enable you to raise awareness in new ways. To believe dreams are malleable is to give yourself opportunities to explore your untapped potential. You are already dissolving self-created limitations.

"1) Choose not to disregard your fantasies"

This is SUCH a good one, as I believe our fantasies tell us SO much about ourselves. To me fantasies are one of the soul's ways of giving voice. Although we may not act on all of our fantasies they can be powerful guides. And to understand the guides often requires a deeper look ourselves, which I really love. If we allow them to, fantasies can takes us right into the belly of the whale, or the dark night of the soul, and out the other side to the light, An amazing journey back to self.

Robin, some people view fantasies as a kind of portkey to other worlds. They remind you of the value in thinking and feeling differently, take you places you have never even dreamed. Fantasies are like a coded language inviting to be deciphered. They show you the power to be found in believing in possibilities. We are invited to realize superficial perceptions are misleading. Helen Keller reminds us that, "the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart."
