Dreams provide great insight into your emotional, mental, and even physical state.  Recalling your dreams unlocks the door to these insights and helps you understand your state of being.  With increased dream recall, comes an increased self-awareness, both in the dream world and in your waking life.

All dreams arise from within you and are created by you.  Since there is little to no outside stimulus inside the dream world, you can be assured that you are the sole creator of your dreams, without the influence of others.  Thus, dreams provide a window to your subconscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, desires, and fears.  Paying attention to your dreams and learning to understand their meanings provides you with vast insights into yourself and increases your self-awareness.

Understanding your dreams allows you to control your own destiny because dreams symbolically reveal the desires of the unconscious not yet exposed and understood by the conscious mind.
