# Dream Analysis [[💡 Dreams]] are stories told to us by the Infantile Ego (or the Creative Mind or Inner Child) via [[Free Association]]. Analyzing our [[💡 Dreams]] can be extremely difficult because [[💡 Dreams]] are so personal, it requires a lot of non-judgmental self-knowledge. We can't say "If you dream about x it means y" because x means something different to everyone in the context of their unique lives, which means nobody can interpret your dreams more competently than you (unless there's someone who knows your life better than you do), and it's a skill. Starting a [[🛠 Integration Journal]] will certainly be helpful. Write about the dream as if it were happening in the present moment. Rather than "And then I saw a flower," write "And I'm seeing a flower." - [[🔑 Parts have their own dream vocabulary]]
