Book Description
A Complete Encyclopedia of Visions and DreamsDreams are sometimes the reflection of what may be going on in our lives at the time. If we are worried or concerned about something that is happening we may dream something relating to this. Dreams happen in stages through images or emotions that are tied into what we are going through in our lives at the time. You may not always remember your dreams or you may recall the dream very clearly upon waking the next morning.You may even walk in you sleep and not even realize it unless someone tells you. This may be a result of "acting out" a scene that could be taking place in real life or what you wish would or could happen. Dreams may even provide you with clues or ideas that will assist you with a project or idea you are working on. Because dreams are a connection to our subconscious they could be ordinary like dreaming of eating ice cream or give the dreamer a thought, idea or provide inspiration.Dreams may even provide a vision of something that will happen in the future or warn us against doing something that would put us in harm's way. The dream(s) can even seem very real upon waking and some people will recall a dream and what happened during the entire process.Being able to interpret your dreams give you the key to controlling your destiny, this art was widely used in ancient time and today, meditation helps us recall or be in harmony with our souls through visual symbols. Meditation also helps remember tiny details to your dreams which in one way or another be associated with your successful dream interpretation.
