dreams

I always knew it was important to dream, I thought it was a way that we process our days. in the book Awakening Intuition, Schulz talks about patients dreaming of their illnesses in interesting ways. For example, one patient had dreams of rats chewing out his stomach. This person ended up having stomach cancer. Schulz also said that once the problem had been identified, patients stopped dreaming that dream. (Makes sense). There were more convincing examples so I have been researching my dreams and their symbols. Oddly enough I recalled some of my significant dreams from the time I was diagnosed with AA. I kept dreaming of closet space because my closets were fulled. I just thought it was because my condo is small and I don't have any room for storage. According a dream decoder it says that home and closet may represent your life and crowding could mean cluttered. That is consistent with my life last year. I had a lot of stress and responsibility that I did not want or need. If I had listened to my dreams--perhaps my body would not have neede to respond. Day and night we have to learn to pay attention to what our body is telling us. I am going to do that for sure--but my actual closet situation has not been rectified.
