Dreamwork will have a greater impact on relationships than talking.

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less,
but to dream more, to dream all the time.”
Marcel Proust

Dreams involve a different way of thinking. We don’t get far by applying conscious thinking, which is linear, causal, and rational, to the holistic presentation that dreams employ.

Because dreams are so different, it serves little purpose for us to remember them, but we can benefit from them if we think differently.

Dreams go right to emotion. As such, they can take you to levels of feeling you’ll never reach by talking. I feel relationship counseling is useless in as much as it’s based on talking. You cannot talk your way to love, commitment, or meaning, but you can dream your way there.
