A dream that is not understood remains a mere occurrence. Understood it becomes a living experience. Symbols are the language of dreams. The key to understanding a dream is knowledge of the symbol. Dreams have determined the destiny of individual lives. They have also altered the fate of entire cultures. Dreams were crucial to the development of our western civilization. Dreams to not deceive. They do not lie. They do not distort or disguise. A dream is an interior drama. It is a theater in which the dreamer is himself, the scene, the player, the prompter, the producer, the author, the public and the critic.
