The Unconscious psyche is a vast realm, but when you enter this realm accompanied by dreams, you are immediately provided with a map and compass. Dreams will show you what areas in your psyche need tending, what dangers are present, what opportunities are available, and where precisely your life is out of balance.
Even so, it still depends upon the dreamer to listen fully to the dreams and to put into action what the dreams are suggesting. The dream maker is the teacher; the guide, and the healer. In therapy, our task is to create a space where we can explore possible meanings as well as to learn how to listen and respond to the symbolic language of dreams.
