“Anger in a dream is not a curse. It is the energy of your strength and your boundary, which daytime politeness often keeps under lock and key.”

“Joy in a dream is not an accident. It is the message of the part of you that knows how to be alive while the mind is busy with other things.”

“Background anxiety in a dream is not the whim of the psyche. It is a noise that turned on long ago and keeps running until you give it attention.”
