Well, hmmmm,
I just wrote a whole post about how I never have done this but I just remembered something. I once had a dream about a polar bear that made me want to face some fears I had. For the longest time I kept one of those little china bears that you get in Red Rose Tea boxes, on my windowsill. So, yes I have done this. (It was years ago.)
Do you think that talking about these dreams while we are awake either with T or with each other/friends, is a way of bringing them to the waking state? How about journaling?
I haven't had many dreams lately that I remember, and those that I do tend to involve people rather than things and symbols such as tunnels or airplanes. I have had dreams about babies but I'm certainly not about to bring one of those in at this point in my life! LOL
Having said that, I do love symbolism and insist on attaching meaning to objects. For example, I bought a doll for my inner child, one that I never had as a kid and sometimes I use beeswax when I am in session to calm my inner child.
Sunny I think you are very brave to sleep with that snake for all that time.
