Irish Dreaming is a digital hub about dream interpretation from a Jungian perspective. We focus on the language, function and interpretation of dreams and the contribution they can make to understanding and enhancing our lives.
We describe how to interpret dreams, the purpose of dreams, and the language of dreams.
Night after night, our dreams present us with scenarios that reveal our secret fears and desires, the complexes that hold us back, and the conflicts that put us out of sync with ourselves and others. What is an even greater marvel, the symbols in these dreams possess the power to release us from the old constructs, to hone our instincts for adaptation, and to restore a wholeness of vision and being which can regenerate every aspect of our existence.
Big dreams are those dreams which are so powerful that they wake you up with a jerk. They come directly from the Self with unforgettable images that have lasting significance & can change the direction of your life. To ignore a Big Dream is to do so at your peril. Jung described the dreams in which the Self calls to us as 'Significant dreams...often remembered for a lifetime...the richest jewel in the treasure-house of psychic experience’.
