Dreams teach me to trust the unknown inside me.
For example, I used to try to forget a nightmare as fast as I could. Now I watch with curiosity to see what happens next.
The thing is, dreams are unpredictable. Even if someone’s head gets torn off, a moment later it turns into a gnome or a mushroom.
Meaning opens to the one who is not scared of a frightening form. It’s as if the subconscious is testing you: “Do you really want to know the truth?”
It reminds me of fairy tales where the hero is turned into a monster. To break the spell, you must see the human through the fur and fangs.
In many ways, it’s a matter of skill. I’ve recorded and analyzed hundreds of dreams. Over time, the valuable insights pile up so much that it becomes hard to suspect the unconscious of having evil intentions or just producing nonsense.
Still, I won’t claim that exploring yourself is safe. In the dungeon, they chain up a dragon, not a Yorkshire terrier. And yet it is your beast—which means you are the one who can tame it.
You really won’t get bored exploring yourself.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
