Emotions

'Emotions' experienced within a dream represent the experience of your feelings. Emotions in the Universal Language of the Mind serve as road signs -- they indicate what is manifesting or has recently manifested in your reality. Positive emotions signal that something you desire is coming into form. Negative emotions signal that something you do not desire is manifesting. When you experience strong emotions within a dream, they are a vital clue to interpreting the dream's message. The emotion helps you identify what area of your waking life the dream is addressing. If you feel fear in the dream, look for what you are afraid of in your waking life. If you feel joy, identify what is bringing you fulfillment. The emotion connects the symbolic language of the dream to your tangible, waking experience. When strong emotions show up in your dream, use them as a compass. They are not something to suppress or react to -- they are information. Observe the emotion, identify what it is connected to in your waking life, and then respond with intention. Responsibility is the ability to respond rather than react. Use your emotions as the guidance system they were designed to be. They are telling you what your thoughts have been creating. If you do not like the emotion, change the thoughts that are producing it.
