Dreams, Archtypes and Symbols

Dreamwork is about finding meaning through patterns, symbols and feelings rather than nice, neat interpretations. In my dream, a jacket became a symbol of perfection, structure and authority. The colour was a symbol of exposure and with the painting, the mistake became an opportunity to change my usual pattern of behaviour and respond differently.

Have you ever woken from a dream that felt meaningful only to forget it moments later? Keeping a dream journal invites you into a deeper relationship with your unconscious like an ongoing conversation between your waking self and the symbolic world within.
