Indeed, and thank you Petr. But a warning - take great care with
handling dreams. I got caught that way many years ago - a so-called
expert's treatment method used dream analysis, and he made me habitually
to remember my dreams for him. But - this way danger lies. It is all too
easy to set up such a reflex, always to remember, and it can sometimes
be impossible to stop again ever afterwards. And if you remember your
dreams, you remember your nightmares as well. All of them. In full
detail. For long periods.
