Our night dreams are "vehicles of transcendence, means of going beyond the self yet within the soul."
"The dream realm is like a dark, narrow passageway with curtains at each end. They connect... the land of the soul with the day world. The curtains don't open wide, so we only glimpse the two connected realms, but glimpses are always useful."
Dreams take us into the world of images, not coherent and logical stories. In dream landscapes, images often seem all mixed up and we may want simple dream dictionary interpretations: If you dream of a horse, it means so-and-so.
This chapter talks about the individual myths that come out at night to play--and there is no one-size-fits-all guide for understanding the messages coming from dreams.
"You have a Buddha in you and a Jesus and a liberating Moses. In you is the spirit of Thoreau and Dickenson, Socrates and Lao Tzu. Your own spirituality has so much vast potential...."
"Birth is one of the major themes that need not be taken only physically. You are born again and again and again."
