by Richard Wilkerson, Dream Educator
Question: My friends and I have a book on dreams and during breaks at the office we interpret each others dreams. A co-worker overheard us and said that dreams should only be interpreted by therapists and doctors. He has really spoiled our fun. Is he right?
I'm sorry your friend has spoiled your fun and next time he interrupts you can tell him he is not only intruding, but wrong.
Therapists do sometimes interpret & work with dreams, but it is for a different reason and involves a different process than when we explore our own dreams.
Everyone has dreams and it is within your rights and choice as an individual to share your experiences with others. Keep up the dream sharing at the water cooler, just don't tell your boss about it!
