Every night, while you sleep, your consciousness enters a realm of pure symbolism and meaning. Dreams have been called the royal road to the unconscious, a phrase coined by Sigmund Freud, but the understanding of dreams predates modern psychology by millennia.

Modern research confirms that dreams serve essential psychological and even physical functions, processing emotions, consolidating memories, and solving problems that elude our waking minds.

I've been meditating regularly for about a year now.

After about 5 minutes, I find myself starting to experience dreamlike scenarios. Some of these dreams I remember afterwards, and some come and go and I have no recollection of them.
I’ve just finished reading a fascinating book by Michael Newton, Ph.D., where he talks about hypnotizing thousands of clients who, under deep hypnosis, shared eerily similar stories about what happens before, during, and after life. As if that wasn’t mind-blowing…
