Dreams -- Day Residue or Messages?

Have you ever thought about your dreams?  No, I mean really thought about them as in where do they come from?  I believe that most likely on some level most people have thought about this - even if it is something like, "Why the heck did I dream that?  Where did I come up with that?"

But, a deeper question is are dreams just a mish mash of your daytime experiences - day residue?  You know the stuff you experience during the day, a film you watched, a TV show, or something you read.  Or are they messages from your psyche, your soul, Spirit, God? 

The answer is that they are both.  Your Spirit, the Divine Spirit, your Higher Self, God (or whatever you choose to name it/him/her/them) uses your experiences and what you can connect with to offer you messages in hopes that you will understand.  Ha ha you may be thinking.  Understand them?  Are you kidding?

Well, let me ask you - do you take them literally?  Should you?  Or should you look deeper?

Don't take them literally -- it is highly unlikely that exactly what you dream is the message you are to be getting.  Now, there are cases of prophetic or premonition dreams and for some they are nearly exactly what will happen.  But, more often than not your dream state is filled with symbolic imagery.  I will continue to share with you via blogposts and articles information on how to remember your dreams, document your dreams, and analyze your dreams.
