Television shows are suddenly very interested in people with Bipolar disorder with an emphasis on the inability of such people to function in the world or as serial rapists or crazed killers. How can people who have the disorder protect themselves from being labeled as criminally, mentally ill? The answer is to arm themselves with information and share it where appropriate.

It is true that people with Bipolar disorder have continual changes in thought, energy, mood, sleep and activity particularly before they are on the proper medications. But in spite of shifting states most people, even those who do not have their disorder under control with medication, are not usually going to commit murder or be serial rapists.

Here is some of that good information:

Those who take their medications have a very good prognosis. There are a number of drug and therapy techniques used to treat people with Bipolar disorder. Often it takes a combination in order to be effective.
Bipolar mood disorder medications include mood stabilizers like lithium, antidepressants, Lamictal and otheranticonvulsants, atypical antipsychotics (hence the misinformation) like Seroquel and even Omega 3. Antipsychotics act one way with psychotics and a different way with people with Bipolar disorder.
Because medicine can cause a reduction in symptoms or complete remission, it is important that the person with Bipolar disorder understand that he or she must continue taking the medications or there will be a relapse. While it is up to the individual to make the decision, there definitely will be a relapse without the medication. Many people can live full and satisfying lives despite the disorder, a fact that television seems to forget.
Some things within the control of the person can help or hurt the results, such as taking the medicine as directed, understanding the disorder, having a good relationship with medical personnel and good health practices, including exercise, nutrition and a regulated stress level.
Other factors that keep the person well include noticing small changes in one’s energy, mood, sleep and eating behaviors, as well as having a plan worked out with the doctor on how to manage these small changes before they become big ones. A person can keep a mood log to chart any changes that need to be discussed with the physician.
Another way is to enlist the help of a close friend or family member. This person can help detect mood changes or changes in activities or behaviors that can trigger a manic episode.

With the sudden interest in Bipolar disorder on television and its emphasis on the inability of people with bipolar disorder to function in the world, people who have this disorder must learn all they can about their problem. Places where information can be found include self-help books, articles on the internet and information from their health professional. Armed with information they can prevent others from misunderstandings.

Ann Mullen is a woman of a certain age who has been writing for two decades. Her website Self-Help Discovery covers self-help reviews on a wide range of topics, including information on Bipolar Mood disorder.

Your dreams can help you very much in all ways. The unconscious mind that produces them works like a natural doctor and teacher that gives you precious information in dream messages.

You should simply learn how to accurately translate the meaning of all dream images and scenes according to my method of dream translation, derived from the method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung.

You’ll verify for yourself that the unconscious mind is even wiser than what Jung had concluded with the knowledge he had. The advantages you’ll have for knowing how to translate the meaning of your dreams are endless. They were already scientifically proven for their practical use. They have provided successful psychotherapy for many seemingly impossible cases as well as the achievement of many other miracles.

Your dreams will show you what is happening in your internal world, in the outside world, and with the people around you. You’ll also learn what will happen in the future. You will be able to correct your mistakes and prepare the successful future results you desire. Dream predictions and warnings will always protect you and help you achieve all your goals.

Another advantage of knowing how to translate the meaning of dreams is the development of your intelligence and the mind power given to you when you acquire complete consciousness. You will become a real genius if you keep following the unconscious guidance in your dreams after solving your basic problems.

Dreams have many dimensions and give you information about many different aspects of existence. They also penetrate into the mystery of death.

Nothing is as bitter as the death of a young person. You will learn how to prevent your premature death, and how to prevent the premature death of your children. This is a valuable advantage that only the superior unconscious wisdom can give you.

You will also learn how to prevent accidents, physical diseases, and mental illnesses. You will be very grateful for having access to this uncommon knowledge.

There are even more advantages on knowing how to interpret the meaning of dreams, which are related to your relationships.

The unconscious mind gives you very clear information about the person you love; showing you everything about his or her personality and life.

Dreams concerning your love relationship are so clear that you can understand them by learning how to interpret a few dream symbols, without having to study the complete repertoire of the dream language.

The unconscious mind is very generous and answers all your questions.

You only have to give importance to your dreams, keep a dream journal and translate your dreams according to the scientific method. You’ll have this tool helping you entirely free of charge for the rest of your life. You will not have to go anywhere, or depend on anyone for this superior wisdom.

All of us have a dark side – the Shadow in terms of Jungian psychology. This aspect of the self has the dark impulses, the hurtful inclinations within us. It is good to know this hidden part of the self. So here are signs if you really know well your dark side.

- You are aware of the way in which your criticisms, judgments and anger towards other people reflect your own weaknesses. The psychological defense mechanism called projection especially colors how we think of others. Sometimes we attribute to them characteristics that are actually our own weaknesses.

- You recognize that there is pain, evil and suffering in the world. Recognizing the evil around us can help us understand that there is also evil inside us.

- You know that sometimes your words or actions can express fear and anxiety. Fear and anxiety are certain feelings that are expressed by the body or by words such as when your heart races up.

- You know that sometimes your words or actions can express jealousy and envy. Jealousy and envy are rooted in selfishness, a selfishness that is quite hard to root out.

- You know that there are times your words or actions express covetousness and greed. Covetousness and greed comes from our attachment to the material and temporal things of this world.

- You know that there are times your words express contempt and spite. Contempt and spite for others are born of anger and hatred – fruits of not being able to handle frustration in a positive manner.

- You are aware of your fears and anxieties.

- You are aware of your feelings of jealousy and envy.

- You are aware of your feelings of greed.

- You are aware of your feelings of anger. Being aware of these kinds of feelings can make you understand certain actions (including saying something) that you find involuntary. Sometimes, we do not mean to hurt people but deep inside, these feelings are still there, so unconsciously we do hurt people. It is best to be aware of these negative feelings and then process them through psychotherapy.

Knowing your dark side enables and empowers you to begin certain life changing adjustments. Now you can know what ticks you off, and you can begin to adjust accordingly. You can steer more clearly from temptation and other allurements. Of course, temptation does not disappear completely, but you are no longer unprepared to handle certain situations.

Your dreams are very important. They can save your life, help you fight against all mental illnesses and physical diseases, and give you extraordinary mind power.

This happens because dream interpretation according to the scientific method is a process that guarantees your behavioral health. At the same time it transforms your personality and increases your intelligence.

This means that you learn how to continually act wisely, without making common mistakes, and without ever losing control.

The process of mind development you pass through when you translate the meaning of your dreams and you understand the unconscious messages, helps you become wiser. You not only learn many things for acquiring real knowledge; you develop your sensitivity, thus becoming more human.

The mindset of many people in our materialistic and atheistic civilization completely despises the value of sensitivity, considering indifference as if it was a normal reaction.

The behavior of most people in our world is characterized by:

- Indifference to human pain,

- Indifference to what happens with other people,

- Indifference on preserving the nature of our polluted planet.

However, this indifference is not healthy. When it appears in an individual’s behavior it indicates lack of balance and sensibility; indicating total absence of the capacity to sense and feel the objective reality.

The consequences of indifference are many:

- You live isolated, without any direct contact with the people who belong to your environment.

- You cannot control your behavior or understand when you are provoking pain onto others. The pain you provoke doesn’t hurt you, since you are insensitive. This means that you’ll tend to be absurd and cruel, without understanding what you are doing.

- You cannot feel real pleasure since your sensitivity is not working. You cannot evaluate the simple pleasures of existence. Everything seems to be empty in your life. You tend to live you life always being dissatisfied, and constantly looking for what is missing.

- You are indifferent to everything. You simply accept bad relationships and suffocating situations without caring about examining what is happening to you, or about changing what is upsetting you.

Through dream therapy you’ll learn how to pay attention to all the components of the external reality. You’ll also learn how to develop all your psychological functions, becoming as sensitive as sensible.

This means that you’ll be balanced and always satisfied with yourself and with the life you lead.

Your wise attitude will protect you from making mistakes and facing bad consequences. You will be respected and admired by everyone because you’ll never hurt anyone’s feelings. Thus, everyone will feel grateful for having you as their friend.

Learning the psychology surrounding a particular character trait or behavioural problem is without doubt a vital first step towards achieving change in oneself. Yet, if for a single moment, we forget that the feature we are trying to change has been patterned into our behaviour, then achieving permanent change in the way we behave becomes less and less likely.

Our learning identifies for us the way we are, but it does not of itself initiate change in us. Only by applying ourselves – to walk the talk- does that occur.

The mistake is made in various forms. We can imagine that we behave as we do because we do not “know” any better! Yet, we quite often know exactly how we are behaving and how it causes the adverse effects we would like to rid ourselves of! In fact, if we are comfortable with our existing behaviour, privately acknowledging it to be unhelpful, the irony is we can be caused to defend it even more vehemently when we know we could change!

To accept that a thought about change does not of itself change our behaviour permanently is a key admission. It is not until we can reach a way of thinking that predominates in our minds in relation to given situations and paints the way that we feel and believe that we want to behave, does thinking begin to impact on behaviour.

Only then do we begin to walk the talk. Only then do we apply the psychology and begin to break down the previous adverse pattern.

So being aware of a short-coming is the first step. Acknowledging it in our minds as such a short-coming is the second. Ascertaining and internalising on its history, maybe from our childhood or an early relationship is the third. Acquiring guidance from a counsellor or from one of the many excellent books published on virtually every aspect of human behaviour is the fourth.

The fifth step is a touch more challenging: to decipher under the guidance of the counsellor or the author the best course of action to cure it

Remarkable it is how many then just leave it at that! The thorough investigation completed: the sixth step – the action to apply the results never started.

Imagine suffering more and more from inexplicable back or pelvic pain. Imagine seeking professional help. Visualise the specialist examining you thoroughly. Then see him or her opening a door in the consulting room to reveal a long corridor. He or she asks you to walk the length of the corridor and then walk back.

Back at the desk, you are told exactly what’s wrong. It is not due to illness. For some reason you have learned to walk with both your right hip and shoulder ahead of your left hip and finally your body is objecting to the twist.

Now can you hear the medical caution! “If you think that by knowing that, you will now walk correctly, you are much mistaken! We have to re-pattern the way you have learned to walk since you stood up and took your first steps, Can it be done? Absolutely! But you need to want “to walk the talk!”

The strength of cognitive patterning is extraordinary. It can impact on us in all manner of behavioural ways. Yet so is our ability to change them if we want to take the steps to achieve that.

Do remember that so much more can be achieved if you want to than if you feel you have to. There are more articles on Ezine on this and this is covered in eBook soon to be published by Gerry Neale who can be reached on http://cognitivementors.blogspot.com and http://psychologysimplified.blogspot.com.

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic school in psychology. He was born on May 6, 1856 and died on 23 September 1939. During his life time of 83 years, he has found many novel theories in many fields. Dream analysis is one of the most interesting teachings among them. As it is a huge subject, this article is about what we can basically understand about the scientific literature of dream- problems by reading his book “Interpretation of dreams” which was published in1913.

When we hear the word “dream”, a feeling that cannot be expressed in words comes to our mind (mental processes). It is something that we cannot feel in the real world or in our waking state. There is a mysterious feeling about dreams. Because of that, we have become very curious about knowing what actually makes us to see dreams and how it happens.

People who were in the past also had this enigma about dreams. They had their conceptions of universe and of the soul. By mixing the idea of dream with these kinds of conceptions, they believed that dream is something supernatural which predicts the future and also believed it as a message from god. They thought of two classes of dreams. One is the dreams which influenced only by the present or the past. The other one is on the other hand, the ones which determine the future. This belief was there for many centuries.

But in the later periods, the scientific interest in the phenomena of dreams was improved.

There is a problem about the relation of the dream to the waking state. After we woke up, we feel like the dream we saw is from another world, though it is not. We feel like that because the dream is something entirely different and alien from the things that we concern in the waking state. Or else, there can be some few elements we had in the waking state. Our normal behavior and the consciousness are entirely lost in the dreaming state, therefore the dreams brings out the complete unencumbered isolation of the psyche. Also at least a little part of it has to be somewhere in our real experiences.

Sometimes we can see the dreams which we feel that we have never known in the real world. It can be about a place or a person or anything that we cannot reminisce that we have known in the waking state. Not only that, but also there can be so much of knowledge in the dreams that we cannot remember in our actual life. That is the knowledge and the memory of our unconsciousness. The things which we see in our dreams can be the materials which were entered to our memory in our childhood. Most of them are caused to product interesting “hypermnesic” dreams.

When concerning about the stimuli and sources of dreams, it says that a dream is a result of such a disturbance which occurs to disturb our sleep. Dream is a reaction of our mental processes against that disturbance. There are four categories of stimuli.

1) External sensory stimuli.

It means objective stimuli. For an example, a strong light may fall upon eyes while we are in a good sleep. As it disturbs to our sleep, it can be a stimuli for a dream. In our dreams it can be made us see as we walk alone the beach in a sunny day.

Sometimes we can see different dreams for the same stimuli. It is because there are some memory images in our mind at that particular time we get the stimuli and the most suitable image which goes with the objective stimuli is taken to produce the dream.

2) Internal sensory stimuli.

A dream cannot be produced only by the external sensory stimuli, because the entire external sensory stimulus which comes while we sleep, cannot make a dream or support to originate a dream independently. There has to be some internal facts too. Therefore we have to consider about the internal sensory stimuli also. Subjective sensations which we see or hear in our waking state are important in dream illusions. The subjective stimuli are independent of external accidents. They are, so to speak at the disposal of the interpretation whenever they are required. The main proof of this stimuli is that the hypnogogic hallucinations. They are very obstructive but changeable pictures which people see while falling asleep. Some may linger for a while even after we opened our eyes. If someone wakes up shortly after having that kind of an experience, it will be oft possible to trace in the dream pictures, the ones s/he saw before falling to the sleep. It also can take as a “hypnogogic” hallucination. Not only that, but also auditory hallucinations may also occur and then can be in the dreams.

3) Internal (organic) physical stimuli.

Our internal organs are reminds us their existence. That also causes for a creation of a dream. If there is a disease, it can become a source of most painful sensation. Psyche become more conscious of its physicality than the waking state and it receives some stimulating which are originating in the parts of our body. Diseases of heart and lungs may be subject to the nightmares. Stimuli proceeding from the interior of the organism, from the nervous system, apply at most an unconscious affect on our mood during the day time. But, at night, that effect of the impression which was had at the day time is no longer active. The impressions that came up are able to force themselves to get our attention. They are drowned by the other external affects at the day time.

4) Psychic sources of excitation.

People dream of what they do in the waking state and of their interesting things. That interest is not only a psychic bond, but also joining the dream into the real life. If an interest which we have during our waking state, together with the internal and external sensory stimuli that occur during sleep, enough to cover the whole etiology of the dream. But the interests in our waking state are not very influential to say confidently that every one who dreams are continuing these interests of the waking state.

We all have experienced that dreams are forgotten after waking. They fade away when we woke up. We can recall it after waking but most of the times we cannot remember the whole complete exact dream. Sometimes we know that we have dreamed during the sleep but do not remember what we dreamed of. But the dreams manifest a peculiar power to be in the memory. Some dreams are last in the memory for a long time such as for 35 years, without being forget a little part of it. And also without losing the freshness of that dream.

This forgetting is a complex phenomenon. The factors which cause to forget in the waking state are can be the cause to forget the dreams also. In waking state, we forget such a lot of things, may be because they are slight to remember or there can be a slight amount of emotional feelings. But we can remember the strong important things obviously. This is true for the dreams also. In dreams, most of the scenes are lack of order and lack of sense. This also causes to forget because we easily forget the things which are not in an order and lack of sense. The relationship of the dream to the waking state is also important in forget dreams. If that dream has a great relation to the waking state, it will not be forgotten. Also when we are waking, our attention suddenly rushes to the sensations of the real world. Therefore, only few dream-images are capable to be in the memory by force with that rush. But the people who are specially interested in dreaming, can remember the dreams more easily and also they dream more than other people.

As we know, the hypnogogical hallucinations (even in their content) they are identical with dream pictures. Transformation of an idea into a hallucination is not the only departure of the dream from the corresponding waking thought. It can make a suitable situation from a hallucination. It shows us something as in actual.

In this book, “Interpretations of Dreams”, Freud discusses about the ethical sense in dreams too. He considers about the dream as a sub problem, to what extent the feelings and the moral bonds of the waking state affect the dream life. Some writers assert that there is no influence to the dream life from the moral obligations. But some, on the other hand emphasis that the moral bond which are related to man persist even in the dream life. Of course there are such immoral dreams that no one denies. But we have to know how they originate. All the ones who consider about this problem, have recognized a special psychic source for immorality of dreams. We are not responsible for our dreams. Dreams take us to the reality of our lives. But if someone can cleanse his/her mind morally before s/he sleep, that person might not see immoral dreams.

Since dreams have become something biological, there were many incomplete theories about dreams, such as; “Dream is something which was sent by god to the man…” Scientists’ and medical writers’ most favored theory is that only a fragment of psychic activity paralyzed by sleep finds expression in dreams. It can be identified as the most popular theory of dreams.

The relation between dreams and mental diseases is another important section that Freud has discussed here. When we talk about this relation, we have to concern about three things.

1. Etiological and clinical relations as when a dream represents a psychotic condition.
2. The changes that the dream life undergoes in cases of mental illnesses.
3. Inner relations between dreams and psychoses, analogies that point to an intimate relationship.

After having an idea about these things, an abnormal morbid phenomenon can be considered as an increase from time to time recurring normal dream state. The unequivocal agreement between dreams and mental diseases goes to characteristic details also.

According to Freud; “It is very probable, however, that a modified conception of the dream must also influence our views regarding the inner mechanism of mental disorders, and hence we may say that we are working towards the explanation of the psychoses when we endeavor to elucidate the mystery of dreams.” (p.102)

Freud has explained this subject in a really interesting and a broad way with a lot of experiences as examples. When we study about these things, our curiosity and the interest of the subject are developed. It encourages continuing the study.

To understand the place of mind from the Buddhist point of view, we must first of all look at the Buddha’s views on the cosmos (universe). According to him, the mind is to be understood in a vast cosmic space.

Biologically humans are weaker. Other animals are born armed for their survival. But human on the other hand, has mind for everything, but not as a weapon. In fact religion is brought out as a component of understanding mind for the existence of human kind.

Buddha realized that mind is not a thing or an entity with a separate existence but that, which arises on conditions.

“Dhuran gaman eaka charan – Asareeran guhaasayan

Ye chiththan sanna messanthi – Mokkhanthi maara bandhana”

This famous gatha describes the nature of mind. It says that mind travels alone, travel long journeys. It doesn’t have a body. Lives in a cave; It’s our body, Mind gets free and detached from “Mara Bandhana” when it liberated from “Mokkha” (foolishness). As Lord Buddha pas preached, mind is colourless, immaterial, and invisible. In other words, mind in Buddhism is an ever changing, constant, quick-moving process. Buddhist view on mind refuses the materialistic aspect of mind. In Buddhism, the mind is treated as an ever changing process of thinking and meditating. It’s said that mind is most of the time out of our control. We should not let our mind to control us instead individuals have to control their minds.

The whole process of thinking is mind, which is the mental process. Thus its status is supreme. Thinking and consciousness are components of that total mental process. Mind as inner world processes is a Buddhist development. Mind is conceived not as a substance but as a process.

The Buddha insisted that the mind is the most significant aspect of the individual. The “patichcha samuppaada” implies that for the individual the twelve links are of a mental character.

Mental and physical factors are conditioning factors and they are relative interdependent and there is nothing absolute and independent. There is no first cause. So mind is not the first cause. It runs through birth as an interdependent interconnected and relative factor. The mind really refers to sensation, perception and thinking or volition in patichcha samuppaada.

Buddhism maintains that all stimuli of senses make the individual move in two directions of attraction and repulsion. One has to attain a position of neutrally through self acquired culture. Both these processes of mental stirring (anarodha and virodha) underlie the genesis of the life process (bhava). In the absence of such activity of the mind, the individual gains no momentum for the regeneration of bhava. All mental and spiritual endeavors of Buddhism aim at bringing about this neutrality.

Mind is where all our emotions and desires are stored. So by attaining “Nibbana”, a person can get rid of all these. Nibbana is the ultimate aim of a Buddhist. It is the ultimate state of mind of an individual who has completely got rid of craving. Here too, the key factor is the mind. Man can put a stop to rebirth by avoiding what is evil, by doing what is good and by purifying his mind by meditation.

Sensation is experienced by the mind. These are sometimes pleasant, sometimes painful and sometimes neutral. Perception means recognition of names of beings, things, places sound, writing etc. Thinking means here volition which are neither good nor evil or thoughts based on the past and imagining of the future, creating good or bad kamma. Consciousness means sense awareness of sound, smell, tastes, forms, feelings and mental objects at the moment.

These four components of the Nama dharma are the creations of the mind. If an individual is not alert and careful he becomes the decisive factors of the mind and obscures the truth. Then falsehood will prevail and cause the mind to defile.

According to Buddhism, a cultivated mind gives spiritual liberation peace, security and happiness. The mind develops wisdom which discriminates right and wrong, good and evil, selflessness and selfishness by being aware of right understanding and right mindfulness at all times. By cultivating the mind, one can eliminate the cycle of rebirth and attain nibbaana the absolute really selflessness. This object can only be achieved by adhering to the Noble Eightfold Path, which embodies morality, mind culture and wisdom (sila, Samadhi, panna). All three aspects can be achieved only through a cultured mind. A cultured mind leads to progress, happiness and nibbana, while an uncultured mind leads to degeneration, destruction and continuance of sansara and suffering.

The development of mind is two-fold.

Development of mental concentration (tranquility or “Samatha bhavana”)
Development of wisdom or clear insight (“Vipassana bhavana”)
The ultimate objective is to reach the unshakable tranquility and purity of mind, which is the foundation of insight leading to deliverance from the cycle of rebirth and misery.

With regard to Buddha’s attitude towards psychology, it is fair to conclude that “Abhidamma” is psychology, as he places a great deal of emphasis on the importance of the role of the mind. We need to recognize the fact that mind is the forerunner of all mental states. Kamma which is the pivot on which Buddha Dhamma revolves is generated by speech, body and mind. It is also a mental factor (cheithasika). The importance of the mind in Buddhism in the five aggregates (panchakkandha), where four of the five are mental components. Of the thirty seven factors of enlightenment the majority of factors listed are mental. In the eightfold path which is the essence of Buddhism all the right factors are “cheithasika” (mental factors). They are beautiful mental factors. Thus the supreme role of mind is stressed. Buddhism based its philosophy on suffering, its diagnosis and cure and treatment. It can be interpreted as psychiatry a branch of psychology. An important role is given to speech in thinking in Buddhism, which is now collaborated by research in psychology. When these facts are evaluated one must conclusively accept the important role played by the mind in Buddhism. A new awareness of inner world mental processes is also a Buddhist development. Buddhism’s preoccupation with analysis of mind resulted in a remarkable revelation of the mental processes.

Thus Buddha Dhamma is teaching of the mind, the operations or processes of the mind, and the deliverance of the mind, it is taught that it is the root of all behaviours. It had an object to serve, the outlook of the individual as merely as an impermanent complex, with no essential reality. In the Nikayas, the outlook and the individual is predominantly one of mind in its manifold workings determining levels of behaviour. In the “Sutras”, the individual is presented as beyond human voluntary control. These prove the power of mind, as explained in Buddhism in various contexts.

Religions have their starting point. Buddhism begins with the Buddha’s search of mind. Buddha’s doctrine is a teaching deep-rooted in psychology. His theories are absolutely unique in the history of religions. Over the decades psychologists have studied the course of mental activities of sensations, perception, speech, thought, consciousness and mind. These studies have forcibly made us aware how close these are to Buddha’s teaching, and yet how far they are. But the similarities are more striking.

If you feel that you cannot find satisfaction in life because you are missing something and yet you don’t know what it is, then you have to discover your internal world.

You may believe that you suffer from a personality disorder or that you have a borderline personality. However, you could simply belong to a different psychological type and hardly find people who are like you.

Perhaps you are introverted, or you are more intelligent than the average person. This means that you will have difficulty meeting people who really understand you. You tend to isolate yourself. Your friends are not people you feel comfortable with.

By learning how to translate your own dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation, you’ll have a guide that will help you transform your personality and at the same time, understand other people’s personalities.

Even if you really suffer from a personality disorder, you’ll certainly find balance and self-confidence.

You’ll discover the other side of reality, where everything is prepared to happen before actually happening. This vision will help you understand how our world functions, and what determines human behavior.

In case you are constantly unsatisfied because you belong to a rare psychological type, you’ll learn how to find balance in a world that cannot evaluate the positive aspects of your uncommon personality.

If you are introverted, you’ll learn how to pay attention to the external reality instead of distancing yourself from it. This way you won’t be vulnerable to mental illnesses. Mental illness appears with more frequency in introverted psychological types than in extroverted ones.

This happens because people who belong to the introverted psychological type tend to completely despise the external reality; including other people’s opinions. Introverted people are right to a degree, but as they insist on being different from the crowd, they end up blindly following their introverted character.

Instead of being original, they simply repeat the mistakes of all the people who belong to their psychological type.

If you are more intelligent than the average person, you are in great danger because your ego can lead you to absurdity. You have to go through dream therapy, so that you may learn how to be humble and sensitive. Otherwise, your pride will transform you into an easy victim of the wild side of your conscience that keeps trying to control your behavior. It uses absurdity to destroy your sensibility, taking advantage of your mistakes.

The wise unconscious mind will guide you through dream messages, helping you prevent all mental illnesses forever.

You’ll discover that you can find completion and satisfaction as you learn all the secrets of the human conscience, eliminating the roots of absurdity from your mind.

A new purpose of life will give you motivation and inspiration. You’ll finally find what was missing in your psyche, and what was missing in your life.

Your personality will stop being considered borderline or problematic. You’ll learn how to interact with everyone, feeling comfortable in all occasions, and with everyone.

After the evolutionary process you’ll pass through when you acquire complete consciousness, you won’t depend on external factors to feel completely fine. On the contrary, you’ll manage to always feel satisfied with yourself and have a meaningful life.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung’s research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

Every time we consciously define something, we discriminate from the potential descriptions a phenomenon can have it to be described as such and such. If we then continue the gradual defining of the observed phenomenon, the semantic content given to it alters, thus altering how it is perceived, bringing forth the dynamic properties our conscious valuations give to the representational world.

The discrimination of matters is always defined by the given properties, whether we do it consciously or not. And as such, with the given mental attributes, they are in constant variation, for the content of the consciousness is not invariant. When widening the scope of our perception over this phenomenon, we find that it is exactly the same with belief systems that transform into dogmas in the moment when they are considered as absolutes and as such that everyone must agree upon. Such an event of perfect tranquility inside the mass mind is as rare as it is improbable that the set of standards over which actions are valuated in relativity with will remain as the same over long periods of time during the relative eon of the existence of the continuum of mankind.

Thus as the cultural representational sense of reality that is gained after birth is evidently dynamic in that there does not exist a generation that had not been born to a different kind of set of circumstances, whose degree increases the greater the difference between the generations are, and since the individual’s own sense of reality is in constant change in content, the perception of how the representational sense of reality must be considered as dynamic becomes self-evident.

Now, that what we make ourselves aware of defines the content of what we sense as the reality. If you begin to study how run a business, you will become increasingly aware of that realm, and with certainty you will also begin to perceive how others run their own businesses when you for example read a google add, or go to a shopping mall. If you begin to make yourself increasingly aware of psychological phenomena, they will begin to associate to your conscious awareness of the environment with other persons, thus increasingly defining the realm of your being with psychological properties. We can therefore with certainty say that we can also have a conscious control over what directions the development of our sense of reality can take by estimating the category and type of information we wish to become increasingly aware of. And in this dynamic sense of reality, when you change the way you think about things, you will begin to change your reality.

Carl Jung could discover the mysterious meaning of dreams and the wisdom of the unconscious mind that produces them.

He noticed that many people had dreams with similar themes and images, which indicated that they were making the trip to the Self. This trip represents the psychological movement of the human conscience.

By interpreting the meaning of personal dreams, the human being starts discovering that there is an unknown region in his or her psyche. This individual starts looking for the meaning of life, trying to find answers to all questions.

The Self is the wise unconscious mind. The trip to the self is a process of psychical transformation. The dreamer’s personality is transformed while he or she acquires comprehension of the unconscious wisdom thanks to the translation of the dream messages.

The meaning of all dreams is very important. You must study the dream language without delay, especially now that it was completely explained, thanks to my continuation of Jung’s research.

You’ll realize that the process of transformation when you pass through dream therapy will save your life. You will stop making silly mistakes and doing what will bring you bad consequences. You will learn to do only what will certainly be good for you, for your family, and for your community.

Your personality becomes mature and unique. The unconscious wisdom becomes your own wisdom once you pass through a process of evolution. You are not a passive student, but an active hero who discovers the true meaning of life.

After completely developing your intelligence and acquiring complete consciousness, you are able to give your own wise answers to the world.

The trip to the Self relieves your pain and eliminates your doubts.

My first trip to the Self happened through my own literary work; just like many other writers whose writing was inspired by the unconscious mind.

After suffering a tragic car accident at the age of 15, I started writing a strange romance that worked like psychotherapy for me. At the same time it gave me the key necessary for the comprehension of the symbolic dream language. My heroes were all archetypes.

Archetypes are symbols familiar to all civilizations and historical times, which appear in dreams and in artistic and religious manifestations.

My second trip to the Self, through dream interpretation, completed the first one through literature.

I could not find peace and happiness in the end of my romance, and I had to accept waiting for the future. However, in the end of my second trip to the Self through dream interpretation, I found all the solutions I needed.

You can simply follow my steps and learn how to completely develop your intelligence, without delaying as much as Jung’s students. I simplified his method of dream interpretation transforming it into a simple method of dream translation from images into words. It is a system that everyone easily learns.

Make your own trip to the Self starting today. You only have to pay attention to the meaning of your dreams, and keep a dream journal.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung’s research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.
