Dreams are the “Royal Road to the Unconscious,” said Freud. What you don’t know controls you. Your unconscious beliefs, fears, motives, and desires can thwart your goals, your health, and relationships. By understanding and learning to trust the messages in your dreams, you are communicating with your true self, your soul, and God. Carl Jung wrote that he who looks inside awakens. “The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul.” Deciphering your dreams’ hidden symbols, guidance, and messages unlocks that doorway.

Ok, I’ll admit it…I don’t relax very well.relax In fact the thought of not “doing” something is a bit terrifying to me. If I had to use a metaphor to describe myself, I would say I am like that big pink Energizer Bunny. It is the perfect example of how I go through life and a key ingredient to many of my successes. Like the energizer bunny, some part of my body is always moving and my mind is constantly “on”. I’ll admit that people have jokingly asked me where they could find my “off” switch. Like the Energizer Bunny, I keep “going and going” in order to reach my goals.

What a nightmare.
