Deep dives

Engaging with Dreams

Dreaming serves as a critical mechanism for self-discovery and understanding. Many people have a complex relationship with their dreams, often feeling that they don’t remember or value them. Approximately one-third of individuals report having no recall of their dreams, which can be attributed to lifestyle factors, such as waking abruptly to alarms or disregarding dreams as unimportant. However, dreams hold a wealth of insight, creativity, and guidance, and establishing a practice of recording and reflecting on them can lead to greater dream recall and engagement.
