A Deck of Dreams
Collect images that strike you from photographs, greeting cards, magazines and catalogs. Cut and paste them onto colored construction paper or poster paper and assemble your own Tarot deck. By "bridging" the dream images into the waking dimension you strengthen you intuition. These images can be used to create your own personal Tarot deck, literally a "deck of dreams" to be used for personal and individual interpretation. (These cannot be reproduced for other than your personal individual use). Draw the dream, or make a collage or a dream mosaic, using your collection of images.
Personal Dream Glossary
Because dreams contain both universal and individual symbols, a personal dream symbol index is an invaluable tool. Your Dream Dictionary can be accumulated in a spiral or loose leaf binder, in an index card file, or as a computer file: convenience, accessibility and ease of adding entries in alphabetical order is the key. Make your personal symbol guide a resource you add to and draw on frequently. Decorate your Dream Dictionary with pictures, drawings and images. Later you can incorporate the material in your personal dictionary onto your own Tarot card for your deck of dreams.
Using Tarot symbols and interpretations of cards to deepen both dream analysis and Tarot work will be covered in the next sections of the book. Tarot should never be a replacement for good judgment, abdication of responsibility, or reduced to a parlor game. We seek the counsel of the Higher Self where we need a broader perspective and a grander view and have exhausted our human resources. Toward that end, Tarot and Dreams will give an overview of Tarot' structure and symbols and interpretations which are tailored toward working with dreams.
Sweet dreams!
