Dreams are at the foundation of all religions.

In our society, to be obsessed with a vision about how to make a better automobile makes you a genius, but to be obsessed with a vision about the nature of reality makes you a nut.

Freud "interpreted" dreams by treating them as intellectual riddles whose details, once processed through free association, exposed hidden wishes.

Direct religious experience is threatening to organized religion, which often mediates it with a rabbi or priest.

Your dreams change. Initially the belly-buttons help establish the dreamer's predicament - the situation you are trapped in or held back by.

Historically, the rabbis are split on the question of dreams. None of them denied their power.

A dream ignored is like a letter unopened.
