Do you have any dreams you want to understand more deeply?

When we sleep, we dream. Dreaming is a simple process that happens automatically, and it is our natural way of working through life challenges.

Dreams are your personality’s way of processing and evolving during sleep. Your mind and emotions are integrating and releasing life perspectives.

To understand your dreams, first consider that there is no universal symbolism in your dreams.

The big misconception that every visual symbol means the same thing for everyone is inaccurate. There is a huge body of information in books and online articles that will tell you what running water means or what a ladder means. All of our experiences and the way our minds process information is unique to each of us, therefore, there can be no ‘cookie cutter’ definition that applies to everyone.

Helping our family open their hearts to the spiritual decisions we make is something we all care about, because we care about our family, and we want them to benefit from the things that have helped us.

But it’s not always easy. For many of us, it may be shocking and draining to experience the critical responses from our family and friends.

When you find your spiritual path, your eyes are wide-open. It can feel as if you’ve discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and you want everyone to know how to get their pot of gold!

It’s natural to feel joy by sharing the books, events and classes with your family and friends that helped you so much.

Often times loved ones may seem a little supportive at first with comments like “that’s interesting” or “I’m happy for you”, but then comes some criticism, misunderstanding and a feeling of unacceptance. If you’ve experienced any degree of this with loved ones, please know it is very common in today’s world. Given the level of enlightenment that humanity has reached, it’s normal for people lacking a spiritual practice to unconsciously draw from the judgmental collective consciousness energy. But what can you do to help them detach from the judgement and move into understanding? You change the conversation.
