April, I'm also very much into writing down my dreams and analyzing them the next day, even looking back to old entries and using hindsight to confirm or refute my previous conclusions. I read a dictionary sized book—a transcription of Jung's Seminar on Dream Analysis—which was wildly interesting to me and I've been heavy into my dream world ever since... I think that was about ten years ago. Woah, I'm old.

Anyway, in that book I remember him talking about a particular appearance of a child in a patient's dream who represented a project that person had begun some years ago.. the precise age of the child. Considering the idea that we are able to create projects, write books, start businesses, etc. by uniting our masculine and feminine energies, it makes sense that a child would be the offspring of that union. Then considering how much attention a "new-born" project requires compared to an endeavor maybe 15 years old, which pretty much can stand on its own, the symbolism seems perfectly fitting.

I've had many realizations thinking of dream children in this way, so I thought I'd share the insight. Keep doing what your doing. The possibilities—when working with the symbolic imagery in our lives—are endless.

I just joined @Steemit, you can read my introduction here, but plan on sharing some of my dream stuff here too. I find it so strangely alive, poetic, and inspiring. Feel free to follow me if you're interested. Sweet Dreams :)
