What Dreams May Come

I think beauty comes from the inside and one of the biggest ways to know what's going on with the "real you" is to examine your dreams.

1.  Your Subconscious Might be Trying to Tell You Something
2.  Brain Trying to Sort Out Things
3.  Totally Random

I feel that my dreams are personal and have tons of meaning.  I'm a vivid dreamer and can remember a good deal of my dreams, when I was younger I would go to my dad and he would help me sort them out... He was a great father for a little girl, I felt safe opening up to him, he would listen to me, give me sound advise and knew how to lighten my spirits.  When he died, I not only had to struggle with loosing a great man who I loved, but the one person I could tell my dreams too.

My DAD, the man who would listen to my dreams.

Here are a few cherished pieces of advise from my dad:

# 1. Make a dream journal, it will help you see patterns and see what your mind is trying to tell you.

# 2. Most of the time the dream is about how you are feeling on the inside.

# 3. Your dreams are for you.
