Dream Within a Dream discussion

Answers about the Afterlife: A Private Investigator's 15-Year Research Unlocks the Mysteries of Life after DeathHi there! I've been reading books about sleep & dreams obsessively since I was a teenager and people still find new angles on it. The first one I remember reading was a dream "dictionary" for interpretation. I don't believe that there's any true "x = y" for the elements of our dreams -- other than the ones we build ourselves over the years -- but there are some associations that are universal across time and cultures. Fire can represent anger, energy, comfort, etc., depending on how it's encountered, and that's true for all of us. And the book was a real eye opener for me at a time when I didn't so much have dreams as they had me. Probably what moved me most was a picture of a stormy sea on the cover of the book -- and how many of us felt like THAT as teens? :) Most recently I've been reading a book about the afterlife and the potential for those we love to visit us through dreams after we die. I've had a lot of that in my life too. I tried to paste a link to that book let's see if it works!

Hm, the book link goes at the top - I've got some things to learn about formatting here!

A found it!
