Dreams serve as a form of emotional metabolism, helping individuals process experiences, solve problems, and work through emotional states.

“I call dreams emotional metabolism, right? And so, when you're dreaming, what is you what is the function? What is the purpose? What are you doing? You're actually working through your emotional states that you had during the daytime.”

Dreams function as an essential tool for self-discovery by providing symbolic snapshots of one's current mindset and potential future trajectories.

“What you're getting is a bird's eye observational view of your current mindset expressed symbolically. And that's the problem. Most people don't understand how to work with symbols and understand dream language.”
