The power of dreams

Jung wrote in his autobiography, "Day after day we live far beyond the bounds of our consciousness; without our knowledge, the life of the unconscious is also going on with us. The more the critical reason dominates, the more impoverished life becomes; but the more of the unconscious, and the more of myth we are capable of making conscious, the more of life we integrate.

There is nothing to be scared of. The fact that some things coming from deep within us are not 'reasonable' is not scary but truly amazing!
Going through transitions - whether it's just the change of seasons or rather big life transitions -can be accompanied by wonderful dreams. Sometimes the dreams even come first and are nudging us in the new direction.
I always appreciate them, like a special gift or a good old friend. I am happy to have them (back), to be able to look into that 'mirror' again. It's time to put my dream journal on my nightstand!
