What are dreams?

According to some, they are merely the product of our brain's unbridled imagination, unsubstantial phantoms, insignificant nocturnal delusions. According to this view, our dreams would be nothing more than the refuse of the subconscious. Essentially, the waste of our thoughts, with no other value than to occupy us during the dark hours of the night.

And yet, how wrong it would be to think this way! Dreams are anything but trivial. They are the reflection of the soul, hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, poems written in the language of the unconscious. Our dreams, even the most absurd, are true masterpieces: a complex mosaic of symbols and clues that reveal themselves only to those who are ready to decipher their meaning.

The dilettante (or the ordinary citizen in modern language), this superficial amateur, will see in a dream a mere distraction, a fleeting escape from reality. But the true seeker, the one who dares to dive into the depths of the soul, will discover an infinite world of mysteries and hidden truths. Dreams are the raw material of the mind, the fertile ground from which ideas, inspirations, and yes, magic spring forth. I have always been convinced that sleep is not merely an escape, but rather a profound journey into the heart of the universal. We, as ephemeral beings, are constantly searching for meanings, seeking answers that transcend the limits of our sensory perception.

Rather than seeing dreams as mere puzzles to solve, I perceive them as symphonies of the mind, vibrant allegories of our desires, fears, and deepest hopes.

Every moment in a dream is a note, a melody in the orchestra of our souls, woven by our experiences and our insatiable quest for understanding. A symbol, no matter how small, is the echo of a larger melody, a cosmic piece. Nietzsche urges us to seek beyond easy truths and to dive into the depths of human experience. Like him, I believe that this will to truth is not a mere quest for facts, but an inner call urging us to make sense of the tumultuous experience of life.

Dream journey! Sanctuary of emotions and discoveries that transports us beyond the veil of reality, dreams are like windows into our souls. They show us what we truly feel, far from the masks we wear every day.

My Great Dictionary of Dreams is an invitation to all those who seek to decode this celestial music that resonates in every dream, a call to transcend the mundane to embrace the divine. For life is a melody of which dreams are the harmonies. It is up to us to listen to them, to understand them and, perhaps, to live them fully.

What are dreams (part two)?

If dreams say nothing, then we must remain silent forever and never mention them again. If they say everything, then we must dive without delay into their depths, in search of their truths.

Will you dare to join me and decipher them right here? For there, among the links and pages of my site, each symbol illuminates and guides us towards the elusive light of the unconscious. Together, let us unveil the mysteries that lie behind these dreams, for dreams, my friends, are the secret language of the soul.
