How can I tell if my dream is about something in my past that needs attention, something developing in the present, or images, perhaps, meant to inspire or instruct?
Sometimes, I think I know. For example, I recently had a dream that featured a tower in ruins and a dilapidated railway. I felt these were about my past attitudes. Other times, I have a dream that provides a sense of spiritual awakening like when I dreamed of the elating and inspiring flight of pure white cranes. In that case, is it a hope only? While I rationally and consciously adhere to conventions of Time, I believe Time is relative in the quantum sense for the Unconscious. I have read the article about Time and Dreams,
http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/time-and-dreams/, but I am wondering if there is anything about the context, contents or quality of a dream that might help me orienteer. How should I look at Time in a dream?
