Dreams and illusions are always a part of reality, whether we like them or not. They intervene in our consciousness and actions daily because it's often better to be in harmony with them. Both can protect us or consume us. Like so many opposing elements of life, they are closer than most of us realize, and if we don't deal with them, they can begin to change us for the worse or even devour us. Therefore, it doesn't hurt to give careful thought to which dreams to nurture and which illusions we should support in order to move forward. The insidious thing about dreams and illusions is that they often merge and are more difficult to distinguish than one might initially assume. It's therefore essential to always keep a watchful eye out for them.
