I'm too intellectual. I don't think that the theological vocabulary is as important as the experience.

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

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

Dreams are at the foundation of all religions.

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.

A dream ignored is like a letter unopened.
