The thing about dreams that most people don't understand is that dreaming is a thinking process.
Your dreams are your thoughts.
They are a continuation of your thoughts stream from the day.
So whatever you're saying to yourself throughout the day, you're driving around, you know, oh, Chloe this, you're loading the dishwasher, oh, Chloe that, you're taking a shower, you're talking to yourself.
As you drift off, you're still talking to yourself.
That stream of consciousness continues.
But once you enter REM dream sleep, your brain's working differently.
The biochemical processes are a little different.
So you're still having that conversation with yourself.
But now, rather than thinking in words and linearly, like you and I are right now, you're thinking in symbols, emotions, and metaphors.
So look at your dreams as a very wise commentary on what happened today.
Look at your dreams as helping you problem solve and reach your aspirations.
You just have to learn the language.
Here's what you do to start remembering your dreams, because you are dreaming every night.
Even if you're not remembering it.
