“For me dreams are the part of the nature that does not have any attention to deceive us, but express something
that know better, like plants grow up or animals search for the food the best way they can.”

Dream Symbols – A Doorway to the Unconscious
Symbols belong to our life as a very important part of our consciousness and subconsciousness, as a kind of their messengers. Symbols help us to express things that are otherwise not easy to explain, sometimes not even easy to understand. That’s why they are so present in the language of art, religion, and divination. We can realize the psychological importance of the symbols when we start to understand symbols’ world from our dreams.
We can feel the world around us through our senses, selecting automatically information with our consciousness and sending some of them to our subconsciousness to wait until the moment when they are going to be sent back to as symbols in our dreams.
When one symbol comes to our dream there is always some very important reason why it comes in that particular moment and in that particular form. The form of our dreams is completely different from the form we express things in daily life. When we try to explain something we have a kind of beginning and the end of our story, there is a certain logic that is easy to understand. In dreams, it is different.
It is a completely different world with its own logic, selection and presentation. And all of that serves us to dig something deeply hidden in our subconsciousness.
