Practical Insights for Reflecting on Your Dream
- Reflect on Your Relationship with Authority Figures
Consider the role that teachers or mentors have played in your life. Are there unresolved feelings or challenges regarding those relationships? Reflecting on this can provide insight into why you feel compelled to save them in your dreams.
