And so to me, this makes a little bit more sense, but to each their own, obviously.

Hello, Mario.

J.M. DeBoard here from dreamschool.net. And yes, I would love to talk with you and the folks at Symbolic Studies about one of my favorite subjects, dream symbolism.

I teach courses on this at Dream School, and I nerd out on this subject, so it's kind of obscure.

It's really important for dream interpretation.

And yeah, let's see if we can do this in about 10 minutes.

So here is the Cliff Notes version of the Owl School of Dreaming lesson on dream symbolism.

So if you ever have house dreams, something to explore is what it means for the self.

What have you settled on?

You can usually see the metaphor or symbolism in a dream that that work.

And when you have a dream that is an actual contact, spiritual contact, a visitation dream, then there are a few things that you're going to note.

First of all is the person who is... on the other side is always shown healthy, happy in their prime or close to their prime.

Like, especially if they were very sick towards the end of their life, that tends to be the imagery that people dream about first when they're in the grieving process.

And that is never, that's not the condition or state that they're in.

So that's the first thing too, is their messages are always, um, full of love and care and, they often have messages for either the dreamer or for family members, and there is something that is communicated that couldn't possibly be known otherwise.

When did you figure this out, that this was something that really you were good at?
