“Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The Storm’s Insight
Remember when you were young and your imagination ran wild? Before you learned to doubt yourself, you dreamed.
Openly.
Freely.
Not just of achievements, but of what it would feel like to become something more.
Somewhere along the way, we told ourselves we had “outgrown” those dreams.
We said life got in the way — that we needed to be realistic.
But often it wasn’t life that got in the way.
It was the ego forgetting how to listen – the false self believing it matured when it actually contracted
Dreams are whispers of the psyche.
They have never stopped speaking.
They whisper through symbols, images, and strange narratives that bypass the conscious mind. They compensate for what we can’t yet admit, showing us the truths we’re avoiding and the potential we haven’t stepped into.
Dreams remind us that our judgments, our expectations, and our need for certainty are often the very things that darken our path.
They remind us that the ego does not get the final word — the Self does.
And when the Self knocks, it knocks until you open.
Dreams reveal the power you’re not yet ready to claim — the unlived direction your life is already leaning toward.
They reveal the shadows you’ve dismissed, the fears you minimized, the desires you’ve hidden even from yourself.
They show the future in a language the ego cannot yet understand.
Dreams do not just reveal the truth.
They are revealing you.
The Forge’s Reflection
A dream can beckon you back on your path even when you forget it.
The Sovereign’s Task
Recall the last dream you remember. What image struck you? What emotion lingered?
Where is the dream compensating for something you’ve ignored — and what opposite meaning might its symbols carry?
