Dreams as Consciousness Expressing Itself

What is the relationship between our waking experience and dreams? Are dreams showing us something about the nature of consciousness? Rupert says: ‘In dreams, repressed or unexpressed aspects of mind seek release. If you have a fearful disposition that you’ve repressed because it’s unbearable, it will come out in your dreams. The fear that you don’t allow to be released in waking state emerges when your conscious suppression relaxes. Dreams are consciousness expressing itself through the filter of your individual mind, just as waking experience is. Both are activities of consciousness, but in dreams the usual boundaries and suppressions of the waking mind are relaxed. This allows deeper patterns and frequencies to surface and express themselves in symbolic form. Dreams reveal the broader activity of consciousness beyond our normal waking boundaries.’
