How Dreams Inform Our Spirituality
Bonney Parker
Everyone dreams, even if those dreams are not remembered. Our culture does not give much weight to dreaming, relegating those nightly scenarios to clearing the detritus of the day, or taking them literally and believing calamity and/or great fortune is about to happen. Dreams, however, offer every dreamer an opportunity to lead a more fully developed, spiritual and emotionally aware life. Remembering and finding meaning in one’s dreams enhances our lives in untold ways.
