True Dream Meanings

Have you ever wondered What are Dreams? or Where do dreams come from? The answer is that dreams come from the unconscious mind. They speak the ancient language of the Archetypes in symbolic images, metaphors and emotions, and they provide us with insight, guidance and orientation in life.
The unconscious mind is our guide and friend. It’s the intuition that guides us when we are lost. It’s the inner voice that comforts us in a crisis, and it’s the architect of our dreams.
When life gets complicated, confusing, and stressful, or when something is missing or out of whack, it’s good to know there is a part of us that is old and wise. Our unconscious mind can help us to understand ourselves better, but first we must learn it’s language: the symbolic language of dreams.
When we sleep, our unconscious mind takes over and shapes our dreams according to it’s deep intuitive understanding of human nature. The unconscious mind brings us back to the center, back into proper perspective. If our personality is too meek, then in our dreams we become bold and adventurous. If we are narrow minded, then in our dreams we are flying high over beautiful landscapes, feeling as though anything were possible. If we don’t face our fears, then they haunt us in our nightmares. These compensations bring balance back to our minds, and restore basic sanity. Dreams weave our life into a whole new story, revealing hidden relationships not noticed consciously, but which are valid according to our intuition. This insight makes us more whole and complete, and gives a fresh perspective on an otherwise confusing situation.
Times change, but the underlying dramas of life (the Archetypes) remain the same. These fundamental dramas are the fabric of our dreams. Our distant ancestors experienced life in basically the same way as us. Their need for love, safety, belonging, and status were like ours, and they too received help from the unconscious mind in their dreams. The Archetypes lived in them, and they continue to live in us. If the dreamer is open to what the dream is trying to communicate, then he/she will benefit from it’s enduring wisdom.
When you ponder the question of “Where do dreams come from?”, remember the unconscious mind, which speaks to you in the oldest language of all: symbolic images, metaphors and emotions. If someone asks “What are dreams?”, tell them dreams are a precious inheritance. They are a guide and friend. Dreams are like a compass and a map. Dreams bring us back to the center of ourselves, and reveal to us a rich and varied inner landscape, a symbolic representation of our life’s story.
