When we wake up from a dream , our emotional state helps in understanding our dream. If we wake up happy, then maybe our dream is showing us a new way forward.
Tina Lindhard , Suad Mohammed Heil Michael Uebel but what do you say when after wake up we are saying and ' I got solution' that is really true (both waking and dreaming) ?
I believe solutions to waking problems are to be found in dreams. A wish-fulfilling dream, for example, may give one an experience that, what one had thought was unachievable, actually is. Such an experience has the potential to retrieve one from a state of desolation or surrender.
I think there may be an equivalence or overlapping of the reality of the dream with an aspect of the waking reality which I create myself, if to an extent unconsciously.
Why unconsciously? because in dream consciousness is there but it represents in a different form. Do you recognise that 'different form ' is an unconscious mode?
Actually I meant 'unconsciously' to refer to a part I play in creating the waking reality, as for example, by a gestalt-like process. I think that perhaps such a process may be exercised in the production of a dreaming reality as well. This is not to suggest that consciousness has no function in either state.
