Dreams often seem to be stripped of any logical sense, and feel completely absurd. But if they are analyzed, then it's nothing like that! Quite the opposite, dreams are extremely significant, they are a whole language waiting to be decoded…

The key to our dreams lies within symbolic and archetypal interpretations, as well as in popular beliefs. Dream interpretations have both a premonitory dimension as well as a psychological one. For example, a person dreaming that she is putting some order into her cupboard symbolizes a looming marriage. At the same time, it also means, from the psychological point of view, that she needs to clarify her ideas, to put some order into her life.

When we wake up, we're very quick to forget about our dreams! It is best to note them down and then analyze them. Dreams help us in gaining a better knowledge of our own person, as they express our suppressed desires. They help us in seeing things in a clearer way for future events.
