Dreamwork
There are many benefits to dream work, yet one should recognise that there are potential risks. Ethical dream work helps the dreamer work with his/her own dream images, feelings, and associations, and guides the dreamer to more fully experience, appreciate, and understand the dream.
Every dream may have multiple meanings, and different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch these multiple layers of significance. All dreams speak a universal language and come in the service of health and wholeness. There is no such thing as a "bad dream" - only dreams that sometimes take a dramatically negative form in order to grab our attention.
Only the dreamer can say with any certainty what meanings his or her dream may have. This certainty usually comes in the form of a wordless "aha!" of recognition. This "aha" is a function of memory, and is the only reliable touchstone of dream work. There is no such thing as a dream with only one meaning. All dreams and dream images have multiple meanings and layers of significance. No dreams come to tell you what you already know. All dreams break new ground and invite you to new understandings and insights.
