Why Do We Dream?
Dreams are believed to be a way for our subconscious to process and integrate various experiences, emotions and thoughts. They allow our mind to work on conflicts, emotions, or problems that may not have been fully addressed in waking life. Dreams often communicate through symbolic language using metaphors, images, and narratives that have deeper meanings. They can provide insight into our subconscious beliefs, desires, fears, and aspirations. Exploring these symbols can offer self-reflection and self-discovery. Dreams have the potential to guide us towards growth, healing, and self-awareness.
