Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Dreams are easy to create but hard to kill, so you've created a lot of dreams, but you don't have many lives! Sit down and calmly say goodbye to some of your dreams! And now that your load has been reduced, you can move forward towards your few but important dreams!”

“At the point of waking, as at no other time, it is possible to hold dreams. And even then, it is only for a few seconds: the moment when you are awake enough to realize you are still asleep. And whatever dream is with you, for that one moment, becomes tangible. You are able to touch it, stroke it, like a tame animal asleep in your lap. And you can feel the softness of his fur and the gradualness of his movements as he wakes slowly, stretching each paw out in front of him, licking the darkness from his whiskers, before he leaps away from you, taking his warmth with him, and leaving his with you.”

“We should understand that dream symbols are for the most part manifestations of a psyche that is beyond the control of the conscious mind. Meaning and purposefulness are not the prerogatives of the mind; they operate in the whole of living nature. There is no difference in principle between organic and psychic growth. As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols. Every dream is evidence of this process.”

“It is beyond the learning of most psychotherapists to understand that suffering is how God turns some peoples’ minds toward Her. Some therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists reading this, may have been feeling a particular despair and/or frustration in working with certain patients, because they cannot seem to help them with their pain. These are often special cases in which the patient is being treated by Allah; and the treatment sometimes is quite severe. This is because it is easier to awaken from a nightmare than a pleasant dream. In fact, one of the functions of nightmares is to awaken us if we have a stomachache or other physical problem, or there is something in the environment that needs our attention. So too, the nightmare 'world' that we believe to be our everyday, ordinary, waking world, serves to jolt us awake serves to enlighten us, and makes us realize that what we mistook for the real world, was in fact, only a dream!”
