I generally do not remember my dreams. It's interesting that prayer and dreams had a relationship in this article as one of the contributors focused on prayer and how praying all night lead to a dream about prayer. There are many things in life that are mysterious, and dreams could be considered one of them. I also thought it was interesting that the priest quoted in the article recommended against keeping a dream journal especially when related to spiritual dreams stating they are a natural phenomenon and shouldn't be given more importance than anything else. I have been encouraged to keep a spiritual journal, but more in depth than only dreams. I do see a benefit to this practice.

At one point in my college days, I came accross a book about interpretation of dreams. It was titled “ Dreams and Spiritual Growth: A Judeo-Christian Approach to Dreamworks It is not a dictionary of symbols based on one’s dreams but a series of worksheets with questionaires about one’s dream. It asks questions like- “ What were you feeling during that time in your dream?” Ofcourse in order to do a dreamwork, one must journal one’s dream. And this is where I had trouble. Because the more I journaled my dreams, the more the dreams became vivid and unforgettable that after a week of daily vivid dreams and daily journaling, I felt exhausted and it was as if I opened and pandora’s box or a dam that can’t be closed.
After a week of doing it. I stopped altogether and vacated that task. I felt disturbed and fatigued instead of refreshed amd rejuvinated.
I have a dreams however that I hold dear to My heart. I did journal it but did not do dreamwork on it. In that dream I was going inside a white little home and walking beside me was John Paul II in his white pope cussock. He was talking to me and at the end of a room was a table, he picked up a statue of a white monkey and told me, even with this statue, God can turn it into something beautiful. In that dream I understood I was represented by that monkey and what was on my Mind was that monkey symbolized the sinful Imperfect me. That is all I can make of this dream Without using dreamwork. I personally will not recommend in this day and age interpreting dream as coming from God but If I come accross one pressing dream seemingly coming from My God. I will have to explore with with my spiritual director and that is as far as I will go.
