The Architecture of Sleep
Your dreams are not random. They are the nightly theater where your ego rests and your deeper self speaks freely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we dream?+
Scientifically, dreaming during REM sleep helps the brain consolidate memories and process emotions from waking life. Psychologically (as proposed by Carl Jung), dreams are the subconscious mind communicating with the conscious ego through universal archetypes and symbols.
Are dream dictionaries accurate?+
Traditional dream dictionaries provide common cultural associations for symbols (e.g., teeth falling out = anxiety). However, the most accurate interpretation requires analyzing the symbol in the context of the dreamer's personal life and emotions during the dream.
What are recurring dreams?+
A recurring dream is your subconscious mind attempting to force you to pay attention to an unresolved issue. Until the underlying emotional conflict or life situation is addressed in waking life, the dream will often continue returning.
