I used to journal my dreams and I noticed that the frequency of my dreams became more than I could keep up with and they very extremely vivid. The most interesting thing I discovered was that my dreams were not standalone, when I read them one after the other it was a narrative and themes and items kept repeating. I dream a lot about weapons, but they don’t work. A gun in my dream will look deadly but on closer examination it’s useless, I pick up an axe and the handle will be rotted. The deadly looking weapons in my dreams represent the way I try to appear to others. The fact the only I know represents my insecurity in my own ability. I’m a paper tiger.
That is so interesting. Thank you for sharing. I would love to be more knowledgable in this area, but I think any dream that can help us identify false beliefs is a really great opportunity to counter them in waking life with affirmations. My life coach gave the example of starting positive statements with "What if. . . " For instance, "What if I were completely capable of succeeding in this venture?" And then "Why is it true. . ." For instance, "Why is it true that I am completely capable of succeeding in this venture?" And so on. I wonder if we take the guidance from our dreams and then do the re-wiring, clearning, etc. in waking life, that our dreams will respond?
