Midweek Reflections on Dreams and Gratitude List

‘Idál (Justice), 14 Mashíyyat (Will) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, October 10, 2018

"When man’s soul is rarified and cleansed, spiritual links are established, and from these bonds sensations felt by the heart are produced. The human heart resembleth a mirror. When this is purified human hearts are attuned and reflect one another, and thus spiritual emotions are generated. This is like the world of dreams when man is detached from things which are tangible and experienceth those of the spirit. What amazing laws operate, and what remarkable discoveries are made! And it may even be that detailed communications are registered…"

Abdu’l-Baha1

I sleep,
therefore I dream:
varied spiritual themes.

After contemplating the subject of dreams, I've come to the conclusion that I am the only one who can interpret my dreams. Some of my dreams have common symbols that have specific meanings, as stated on dream interpretation websites. However, sometime thos symbolic meanings on websites don't mean the same thing to me.
