The ancient Egyptians and Greeks believed that dreams were messages from the Gods that revealed future events. In many early cultures the term ‘incubation’ meant seeking information by way of dreams. It was believed that transmitted material from the spirit world was passed into a channel for the recipient to pick up while they were dreaming. However, as this material is incorporated into the dream, the dreamer must recognize it as such and decipher it before waking.

Dreams contain prophecies and are an important key to self-knowledge. Known as the gateway to psychic powers, dreams are our means of bringing spiritual information and intuition from our higher self into our consciousness. We dream every night and, whether we remember them or not, our dreams reveal our innermost desires. They can also be used to solve difficult problems. The dream state allows the brain to interpret the events of the day: it digests the information we have received and, free from the constraints of our conscious mind, can solve issues, worries and fears and, occasionally, tell us about the future. Nightmares in particular provide important clues about fears and problems and recalling them, however scary, can help release these emotions.

Thoughts, ideas, worries, hopes and fears are all represented by symbols, metaphors and images within our dreams. The subconscious mind draws from our experiences and writes them into a mini play. Most of us are emotionally at the mercy of our worries and troubles, but if we use dreams properly we can, with a little effort, become the master of ourselves and learn how to connect with our psychic powers.
