Dreams are often the most authentic expression of the metaphors and symbols that we create to help make sense of our lives.

These metaphors and symbols can express things that we often find difficult to describe in our everyday language. A metaphor helps us understand our experience of something unknown in terms of something known. Our metaphors are usually composed from a number of related and connected symbols.

A symbol is something that embodies meaning for us and makes it visible. We may find it challenging to explicitly express why something means something to us, and much easier to represent that meaning as a symbol.

The natural language of metaphor and symbol is the language of our dreams. In our dreams we have a clarity and an intensity of vision that illuminates our needs, and gives living form to our intentions.

As we journey through this metaphoric landscape that we naturally create, we realise where we can find most meaning and connect with our true purpose.
