Quote by Carl G Jung

“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!”

“I think I dreamed of you once. You were the sunset glinting off the calm ocean waves and the moon reflecting in double, like silver eyes within the mirrored heart of a star-dusted sky. You were the warm salted breeze whispering sweet words between each kiss landed beneath my ear and each caress of the surf upon my skin. I woke from the dream to find you’d followed me into my waking world.”
