One statistic states that fifty percent of all people have a nightmare or an anxiety dream EVERY MONTH! We are left quaking in our beds when we wake up. We imagine something bad is going to happen to us or we feel anxious about protecting the person in the dream. Because we don’t understand the usefulness of such a dream, we often try to block it from our consciousness. The dream, (especially a recurring dream) is trying to provide us with extremely valuable information about the forces inside us. It may be the best gift we could ever get, and we often ignore its message.
Throughout the ages, some people have known the significance of dreams. We can see this narrated in scriptures from all of the world’s great religion. But many people today think their dreams are just bits and pieces of their previous day’s experience showing up in a chaotic way, or maybe even a sign of indigestion. And even more confusing, most popularized dream ‘interpretation’ takes the images in the dream as references to something in our daily lives, perhaps as a superstition or a premonition.
Dream Matrix dreamwork sees the images in dreams as matrixes of archetypal forces that drive our behavior, our reactions and our defenses in dealing with our daily lives. A dream about the house burning down is often showing a person, not that their house will burn down, but that their perception of the world is going up in smoke most likely to make way for something more profound. Often, a dream about someone dying turns out to be showing us a part of ourselves that needs to die before we can alchemize and become more whole. A dream about someone trying to kill us is probably showing us an archetypal messenger trying to help us see that who we thought we were can ‘die’ off because it is not who we really are.
