Dreams can be one our most valuable sources of self-knowledge - if we understand how to interpret their meaning and symbolism.

Even if we awake from a nightmare that has seemed all too real, or a vivid dream teeming with what may be significant imagery, it is rare for us to reflect on it beyond breakfast, or make it more than the subject of an idle chat with friends.
