  <itunes:subtitle>Dreams often tell us about our current internal state, but they also show us the possibilities for where we are going. So who are you becoming, according to your dreams? Your unconscious knows you better than you consciously know yourself. From dreams of rainbows to vortexes, black cats to empty beer cans, I’ll show you how to make sense of the language of dreams.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Dreams from this episode:
* A dream of a rainbow vortex
A black cat, a living room house, and a space heater beside an open window
Themes from this episode:
* Our inner Self knows us better than we consciously know ourselves, so it can tell us about our potential or need for transformation.
Attitudes in dreams are important. For example, the dreamer was willing to sit down at a picnic table with strangers, which means she is open to getting to know new parts of herself.
Cats often represent the feminine and/or the body. All cats, but especially black cats, carry the connotation of witch, of ancient feminine wisdom that can be used in positive or negative ways.
Pay attention to the strangest details in your dream. For example, in dream #2 the house was only a living room. The absence of bedroom and bathroom means there are few private areas in the house; the dreamer’s psyche has been oriented toward public spaces and public opinion. 
Representations of energy can be important. The fact that the space heater was next to an open window signified energy loss, needing to generate far more energy just to heat the house, metaphorically speaking.
