Stop Googling Your Dreams...

If you want to strengthen your intuition, then stop settling for immediate answers. Your dreams are an important expression of your inner world, and they communicate far more information about your mental and spiritual health than you might want to admit.

Intuition is internal, but we often attempt to externalise our inner journey by prematurely connecting the dots with shallow searches and pre-packaged conclusions.

Online searches can be insightful, but defaulting to half-digested google results reinforces a subtle form of spiritual complacency or spiritual bypassing which actively represses the dialogue between your soul and your psyche.

I understand that your brain has a natural tendency to want to close information gaps, and I’m not entirely against google dream dictionaries, but advanced dreamwork requires us to surrender false certainty and embrace the feeling of not knowing the so-called ‘meaning of the dream’ for several days or weeks.

Let your dreams simmer… see what happens.

Write your dream, and let it breathe.

I know that speed is satisfying, but please watch out for those moments when you’ve skipped over your soul and jumped into the top-ranking article on the first page of a search engine.

This advice isn’t for everyone, but I felt inspired to reflect on a major principle of advanced dreamwork for people who are multiple years deep on the introspective path.

Here is your reminder: allow your symbolic stories to unfold in their own time, even if that timeline is weeks or months of recurring narratives or themes.

Googling your dreams can be useful, but I invite you to consider making an intentional effort to develop your symbolic intelligence through personal reflection instead.

Ask your soul for guidance.

Reject the algorithm from your inner world.

There is nuance to this post, and I want to emphasise that I’m not entirely against googling your dreams under certain circumstances, but my urgent advice for introspective individuals is to pay attention to those moments when your unconscious phone usage has castrated the living relationship between your personal world and the world of symbols by outsourcing the wisdom that is uniquely your own.

Your phone knows less than your intuition.

Honour your depth,
