Dreams are a key to understanding me! [Pt. 2]

Dreams are a human phenomenon that have been exalted by cultures for thousands of years, except for right now! We think we've got life all figured out! Surprise, we don't. Pt. 1 set up a foundation of thought about our conscious selves to approach dreams with. In this episode, I outline theories on dreaming and share my thoughts. Specifically, dreams as the source of creativity and dreams as a window to the shadow self. The "shadow self" is not actually scary but rather describes traits/emotions/thoughts that lie dormant within us day to day, but shine and explore themselves while we dream. Dreams are both fun and essential in the quest to fully understand ourselves and our relation to the universe!!
