In dreams we meet many people and see many things, but they are all part of us. They metaphorically describe our actual reactions of our inner-selves to our day-to-day activities in the reality. In my dreams, for instance, New York City was depicted as Pompeii in ruins, a TV as a pilotless bomber, smartphones as sex toys for orphans, and I (female) saw myself as a male actor with huge testicles who is playing woman's role in a dress. Without learning how to 'see' the reality from the eyes of the dream, we will never know what reality we are living in. ------ Riaki
