Kim Edwards... the Iroquois take dreams very seriously. They see them as the secret wishes of the soul--the heart's desire, so to speak. Not all dreams, maybe, but the important ones. [p.254]
About This Quote
Dreams are something that we all experience. When we dream, we get to experience things that we would not get to experience in waking life. Dreams often use symbolism and metaphors to give us a glimpse into what we need to do differently in our lives. Dreams often speak of problems and issues that we need to confront and solve. If we ignore our dreams and dismiss them as silly or unrealistic, then we could end up missing the opportunity to solve the problems and issues they warn us against.
