Discover your Inner Self

A primary function of the dream is to expose the true condition of the dreamer's life. The symbology in dreams represents the different aspects of the dreamer, and more than just the ego-persona the waking life understands. Those things that we consider as negative influences in our lives are often seen in the dream as the 'shadow', the negative side of the personality, inso far as it is the opposite of whatever we have regarded as making a positive contribution to the well-being of our individual lives. Other aspects include the maculine/feminine traits which each of us possess; the wisdom aspect of the psyche, the wise self that lies deep within the psyche; the Self, what many believe to be the spiritual/creative aspect that is available to all who seek to understand the human condition. And with these aspects within the unconscious are the personality traits that form the outside ego-persona as seen by others.
