“A dream uninterpreted is like a letter you haven't opened” a Jewish saying.

Working with your dreams is the work of a lifetime – the great “Opus”, according to C G. Jung, one of the greatest psychologists of the 20th century.

The great “Opus” is the work of being human, of growing up, of learning about yourself. My dream teacher, who tutored under Padre Pio, had a dream toward the end of her life: one of the most important things that you need in this life is to “allow your soul to grow.”

Carl Jung recommends that on awakening, write and brainstorm immediately. Despite how busy your day is, this takes priority. Jung himself didn't have a Jung to go to, so he went to his gardener for ideas on his dreams. The Senoi are said to be the most peaceable culture on the planet. They very much are centred on using dreams and sharing with others as part of their culture.

Journaling is a good idea for a variety of reasons. When you get in the habit of writing in your journal you begin to be open to other voices / ideas coming into your consciousness. One journalist commented on an exercise he had to write which was a piece for a particular job assignment, he noticed that there was more information on paper than what was in his first thoughts. Part of your “Opus” becomes more of your intuition which is part of your more complete self. The more you attend to it, the better you will be at interpreting your life. Automatic writing can eventually communicate with your spiritual guides as well.
