Dream Time
Dreams are the subconscious mind’s way of communicating with the conscious mind, and we may gain greater insight into the workings of our dreams by recording them in a dream journal or by creating dream inspired artwork.
Our subconscious mind uses metaphors and symbols to communicate with us and our dreams are generally symbolic of something much deeper. I believe dreams are a place where the various parts of our psyche explores ideas, work out daily issues, and a place where we experience many levels of consciousness.
Personally, my dreams tend to be vivid, colorful and filled with detail. I have been writing my dreams down for over 40 years and after going through my dream journals, I discovered a pattern of very active dreaming during certain months of the year. January is one of those months and tends to be one in which I have repetitive and teaching dreams.
