Death in Dreams

We are all our own creators of the dream landscape, nothing is here that we have not dreamed it to be, this accounts for all themes, things, locations, people and animals.

Whilst dreams are highly personal they do share similarities and meanings, our learning never stops, when we sleep we are making sense of things and working just as we do when we are awake. We create our dreamscapes just as we do our waking life.

The purpose of dreams is to work through future probabilities, make sense of the present moment and to provoke and inspire positive action.

Is the dream location a shared place? Yes and No, its inner most workings are yours, but you are not always alone, for there are some dreams that are assisted by those that guide you, and they come in any shape that you desire them to come in – quite often in the role of a teacher, friend, or a person that is helpful and knowledgeable – often at times appearing older depending on your needs.
