“By praying about a specific subject at bedtime, we invite God to send a dream message in response to that prayer. By recording what we remember about our dreams soon after waking (when we’re in what psychologists call the “hypnagogic state” of transition, with our conscious and subconscious minds working together), we create valuable records to study and learn from dream patterns. By thinking and praying about the images in our dreams, we can learn from their symbolic meaning for us. By applying what we learn from dream insights to our waking lives, we can experience the wonder of closer relationships with God. Look”

“When you ponder the word “emotion,” think of energy in motion. God has designed our emotions to flow through us so we can learn and grow from the process. So instead of numbing ourselves to our feelings—which blocks the process of flow that God intends for those emotions—we must feel them. Rather than denying or repressing our God-given emotions, we need to connect with them to see what wonder they can show us.”
