Understanding Active Imagination in Dreams

Dreams often present us with elements that challenge our ego attitudes, causing us to feel frightened or angry. The valuable insights in dreams usually lie in these challenging elements that push us out of our comfort zones. Active imagination offers an experiential way to move past the ego's defensiveness and explore the deeper meanings of the dream symbols. By engaging in active imagination, we can shift our perspective from perceiving the unknown as threatening to seeing it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
