"If there really is an awareness principle, then why are our dreams clothed in symbols and why do our bodies not simply make us go in the 'right' direction? The answer is that most people do not react to their dreams; they soon forget them. Others do not react to illness, even when their messages are clear. They either refuse to change or they become terrified and try to get rid of the illness. In other words, the intensity of the visions and dreams, body experiences, relationships and world situations is inversely proportional to the degree to which we follow them."
Arnold Mindell, Working on yourself alone: inner dreambody work, 1990, p. 124.
