Dreams are the most natural, direct, and amazing ways of communication with the unconscious. They are compensating for the limited perspectives of the consciousness and enriching us with a much more comprehensive picture of reality. Dreams are profoundly deep, for they not only provide insights into what is actually relevant to our development, but in their mysterious ways open the gates into our heritage, the makings of our culture, and ultimately into the collective depository of human experience.
Dreams have been the source of guidance since the beginning of time, and thanks to the great scientist Carl Gustav Jung, their guidance can now be approached scientifically. Not only do dreams bring understanding, but dedicating our energy to this communication with the unconscious changes us forever.
The Mystery and Power of Dreams
It is when we dream that our entire system, both body and mind, rests and regenerates. Dreams and dreaming still remain a mystery to science.
Did you know that Jung analyzed more than 3000 dreams of the great quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli and that thanks to dream analysis Wolfgang figured out the non-relativistic spin and for that discovery got a Nobel Prize? He had a repetitive music dream…
Dreams provide us with the most authentic insights into how we actually feel, what is actually going on inside us, warn us about illnesses, danger, … and reassure us when we are doing something beneficial for our growth. They always compensate for the one-sided, limited perspective of consciousness and provide us with a much more comprehensive picture of ourselves and the world. Although rare, dreams can show future events.
Learning the Language of Your Own Soul
In terms of sources of wisdom, there is nothing more personal and at the same time universal – than dreams. The inner ‘dream director’ uses symbols, hunches, settings, details… which are uniquely connected to our life, and at the same time interwoven transgenerationally, into the history of our culture and, ultimately, life itself. That is why we can never fully interpret a dream…
If you start writing down your dreams, after, say, a month, you will start noticing the hidden links, motifs, hunches, … and start learning the language of your own soul. You will discover stories mirroring everyday events and your own experiences, but in a much deeper way, presenting you with a different kind of truth…
What Do Dreams Have to Do with Moderating Alcohol?
Everything. They will illuminate ‘the problem’ – why you have that urge to drink in an immoderate way, and they will point to the solution. But not any solution – your own unique way to approach the problem and not only moderate it, but at the same time liberate your unknown self imprisoned in the routine of drinking, which will then take you into your future.
