"...dreams
have inspired people from the beginning of recorded
history ... people's dreams have led them to victorious
battle; helped them predict the birth of a sage; urged
them to convert to a different religion, to establish
churches, to change careers, to heal or be healed, to
create a masterpiece painting, to make music, to write
stories, and to discover revolutionary scientific theories
and inventions; in short, to live fully and be fulfilled.
Dreams provide the dreamer with a connection beyond
his or her ordinary everyday self to a higher self,
whether we call it the creative source or the divine."
