I am curious about the dream teacher you mention. It makes me remember some old talk I had with friends, years ago. They read some book about dreams, and how to interact with them, going much further in the meanings behind them... And they went so deep in that, that at some point they just gave up... because mind is so crazing disturbing, that couldn't bare the gigantic symbolism they were being given by their spirits (or... their deepest layers of consciousness).
Oh... I will remember about that authors name... there is something to do with Native Americans...
I will ask my friend about this old talk of ours...
