wishes & dreams

   So I want to stress the importance of the wish . The real magical element is the wish , and if we don't know the wish then we stumble about and we accept entrapment because we don't really know what we are going towards. Then we have no strength, we have no inspirational visions. I took dreams as the guide. Sometimes the dream was prophetic, it was a warning, it may have been a symptom of anxiety. But very often it was a dynamic  dream, the real creative dream that propels you forward and illuminates the wish. And having once a vision of the wish, then we can move towards it.
