Defining Your Dreams

Esteemed psychologist Carl Jung felt that that the dream world is an insight into the soul.  He felt that in sleep, one expresses their true ideas without interruption from their conscious self.

Dreams allow us a chance to look within ourselves and gain an understanding of the psychological changes we have gone through while we are awake.  Thus, our dreams give us coded messages.

You can gain a lot of insight into your psyche by interpreting your dreams.  Keeping a dream journal is definitely an excellent way to begin. Keep your journal next to your bed so that you may record your dreams before you forget them.   You can also try setting an intention before you go to sleep.   You may also sleep better by not eating heavily before bed.
