Dreams

Our relation with ourselves and the world is basically influenced by our personal mythology - a system of beliefs, values and images organized around of a central subject.

These myths explain as the world functions, establishes bonds of the individual with the society and supports its existential necessities.

We construct to leave of these myths, a version of the world, that we take as being the reality.

This percipient distortion is consequence to be unconscious of the myths that form our vision of the things.

The result is the constant creation of conflicts between the individual and the world to its return.

Understanding that our personal mythology can in such a way bring balance as much as how much it can perpetuate pain and the confusion in our lives, we can use the dreams as a way:

- to perceive the decurrent conflicts of our personal mythology

- to use to advantage, of the elements of the opposing myth, those that offer alternatives to our habitual vision.

There are many possibilities to explain the creative potential of the dreams.

The main currently hypotheses considered and studied are:

1. the dreams have access the forgotten memories and the only vacant memories;

2. the dreams combine in new way elements of the personal experience, using powerful symbols and/or bizarre images .

In a short way we can say that:

1. The dreams do not have universal symbols.

2. In the dreams, the actions never are accidental.

3. The dreams contain important and unknown information for that it dreams.

4. Each dream in offers new possibilities to them of in understanding them.

5. Almost all dream discloses the dynamics of life of the dreamer.

6. The function of the dream is to explore the impact emotional of the lived experiences.

7. The dreams in disclose them as our conscience if night organizes, stops in becoming them conscientious of our feelings.

One gives credit that analyzing the dreams we can understand very of our conflicts.

For this we need to develop the following abilities:

1. ability of re experiencing the feelings lived deeply in its dreams.

2. to recognize areas of its current life that excite similar emotions to the one of the dream.

3. to prevent to interpret the dream therefore this would be as our personal mythology that is the source of the conflict.

4. to be capable to identify to metaphors, contradictions and symbolic actions, therefore is in this way that the conflicting aspects of our lives are disclosed in our dreams.
