Does anyone here believe in the healing power of dreams? I mean that in the literal sense of the phrase. The power of dreams - actual dreams during sleep - not the colloquial meaning - to heal our psyche.
77 days sober and I've been thinking a lot lately.
One of the ideas I had this morning is that alcohol robs our mind of one its most powerful healing and learning abilities - dream sleep. This was after a particularly vivid and insightful series of dreams I had last night that gave me crystal-clear answers to an important area of my life that I was really struggling with. I awoke feeling completely relieved of a burden that had been weighing me down. It was an incredible feeling! It's as if I made progress equivalent to years of therapy in a single night of dreaming.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
On a lighter note - Merry Christmas everyone!!
