About This Quote
"Understand your dreams. That's the meaning of life." This quote is from a poem by William Blake, and it's filled with wisdom that will help you to discover the meaning of your own dreams. The phrase "mushrooms' rank richness" can be interpreted as an image of mushrooms growing in darkness, which is a common symbol of the unconscious mind. The quote also indicates that we must understand our own dreams and not merely accept them blindly.
Instead, we must try to discover what they mean and learn to interpret them properly. This will help us to discover the meaning of our own life.
