Positive Vs. Negative Dreams
Overall, regardless of class, all adults and all children had more negative and fear-based dreams than positive dreams. Therefore, the positive dreams must be more elusive than the dreams that are products of the conflicts within. The majority of dreams are unpleasant all across the board. Perhaps by responding to the unpleasantness in our dreams we work out waking life problems more easily. Dreams may be the messages from the Self that are meant to assist growth and perhaps that is the primary function of dreams altogether. A dream could easily be an indicator of emotional health or lack of health in certain areas. We must consider each dream symbol objectively to free the hidden meaning.
