Your Dreams are important

Dreams were once considered visions of the highest order

Ancient man was more in touch with his inner self and the workings of the soul than we are today

Even in Bible times, dreams and visions were used to foretell the future

In sleep we have power, in a perfectly normal and natural way to get valuable instruction and insight

In sleep we connect with our soul life and discover that part of ourselves that relates to the infinite spirit

The majority of people in the modern world are unaware of this and do not use these tools

Many people believe that every dream can be a message from yourself to yourself or warnings & visions from the spirit world - expressed in a code that you can learn to understand and interpret

Some even believe that loved ones that have "crossed over to the other side" can make contact or visit us through our dreams

Dreams also put us in touch with the dark side of ourselves, the unconscious unrecognized aspects of our personality

By using dreams to discover the shadowy side, we can become more integrated self-aware and well-rounded individuals
