to sleep or to wake?

thank you for that. right now, I'm in a transitional phase in life..moving halfway around the world to help people in need. To recall my dreams, I meditate. Only then can I access the feelings that were stirred in the dreamworld which leads to the events that the feelings stemmed from. Want a dream before you sleep to have a dream when you wake mate

I've always loved my dream world. And in times when I am stressed, depressed, or sad--I'll give myself permission to sleep a bit longer. But short or long, my dreams help inform me about my subconscious. I keep a dream journal and through the years have come to recognize my own 'dream dictionary.' For example, we being in water always means 'rebirth'. Dreams are sometimes a great antidote for present-day life. Just don't stay there--we are meant to live--and anyway then our dreams have more fodder for creation.
