In shamanic traditions, dreams are not merely random brain activity but profound messages from the spirit world, our subconscious, or even our ancestors. They are seen as a direct pathway to non-ordinary reality, offering guidance, warnings, healing insights, and opportunities for spiritual growth. Shamans often work with dreams to diagnose illness, find lost soul parts, or receive instructions for ceremonies. To work with your dreams, keep a dream journal by your bedside and record everything you remember immediately upon waking. Pay attention to recurring symbols, emotions, and narratives. Don't just interpret them literally; consider their energetic and symbolic meaning. Asking for dream guidance before sleep can also open you to receiving specific messages from your spirit allies.
