Please do not come back another day!” Pain motivates us to seek medical care yet non-painful health issues are often treated with less urgency — and sometimes the cause of pain is not easily recognisable. Let’s take diabetes, for example. […]

The meaning of people in dreams

One of the keys to understanding the meaning of dreams is to recognise that most things within them are not literal, but symbolic.  This includes people.  It is a very common mistake to assume that when someone appears in dreams your dreams could reveal hidden feelings or even literal wish-fulfillment about them in waking life.  […]
