The cast of characters who populate your dreams aren’t just bizarro visions — they’re messengers that are speaking specifically to you. Bust out your dream journal and record (in detail) all that they’re telling you. Unconscious patterns reveal themselves more readily at the moment, but their access point is, well, indirect. Focus on what you can recall post-snooze, then let the meaning find you. Practice relaxing your thoughts and listening within. The backroads of your psyche are the most direct path to revelation.
