When confronted with problematic relationships or experiences, looking to dreams is a good way to understand ourselves and thus remove barriers and limitations. I believe that whatever comes into our consciousness, whatever state we are in, is asking for recognition and sometimes reconciliation, redemption etc,. These are the clues to our pitfalls and mountains that vanish with a simple change of viewpoint. Dreams can lead us to this realization in ways not constrained by the logic and reason of our waking state.
