The Dream by Henri Rousseau
I found a nice interview in The Sun Magazine (not to be confused with The Sun newspaper!) between Barbara Platek and dream guru Marc Ian Barasch.
I like what he had to say about the healing power of dreams:
“They tell us that we — our ego selves — are not who we think we are. They encourage us to live truthfully, right now and always. Of course these messages might not be what we want to hear. Sometimes dreams may advocate for life changes that are challenging, to say the least. Dreams really have no time for niceties or for the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. In dreams our narrow selfhood is expanded — the dreams will not allow us to be so small — and we experience ourselves as part of something larger. They thrust upon us realities that are too often obscured, either by our tendency to sell ourselves short and smooth things over or by the gap between what we know deep inside and what we prefer to believe on the surface. Healing dreams are straight from the source. They are realer than real. They stay with us”.
i think I’m in need of some healing dreams.
