Dream Patterning Australia
The dream speaks the language of the antique soul, whispering to us of a world and a way of life which often remains eclipsed by the concerns of daily life and by the complexes which so often affect our perceptions. It is here in the silence of conscious limitations, that psyche and soul speak to us of another way, and if we listen carefully, of a destiny waiting in abeyance.
Dream Patterning allows us to see the creative movement inherent within the psyche. Here, we see the dream as the carrier of a creativity beckoning us onward to a new way of life, guiding us towards the transition Psyche intends for us, and illuminating a way to cross from one archetypal domain to another.
