In our dreams we have the wonderful ability to transcend the physical world and to function as soul. We have the opportunity to tap into the collective unconscious and to have experiences which are enlightening. At times we remember these experiences and we attempt to understand them through dream analysis. When dreams are from the collective unconscious we say that they are archetypal in nature and decoding them may not be all that difficult. This is time consuming but not impossible to do. However, those of us that are firmly stuck in the ego during the day remember dreams that are from the ego during the night.
