No matter what a person might beleive it seems that dreams tend to hold a strong importance and connection to everyone, they are mystifying and enchanting in a way, and almost everyone puts some speical signifgance to thier dreams. If you trace back through history it can be seen how dreams in many different cultures thoughtout time have held a strong empahsis to dreams and dreams have been closely linked to the soul and hold a certain spirtuality. In the more mondern times of now, dreams have even become the study of science.

To Pagans dreams have always had a deep spiritual importance, and there are many different therories surrounding thier meaning, some belive that when you dream you are entering a whole new world that dreaming itself is a form of astral projection, some think that dreams hold symbolic insights into our hearts, souls and subconcious, while others see dreams as gleamings of the future and things yet to come.

Whatever the case might be, dreams are imporant both on the individula level and perhaps on a grander level. There is something we can take away from our dreams I think, and learn from them. They are a tool which should be utilized not ignored or set aside.

A good practice is to begin a dream journal where you record your dreams each morning, doing this can accomplish two things, for one if helps you to grow more preficient at remebering and recalling your dreams more frequently and two it allows you the oppertunity to better evauluate your dreams.
