Dream Quote by Lawrence Kushner
““And this, then, is the job of the searchers and the dreamers: to reach deeper and deeper into the dream. Peeling away one layer after another. Until we realize that the voice speaking our dreams comes from within us and from without at the same time.11 Until we see at last that the story is true. Not necessarily because it happened in a particular place at a particular time, but because it is within us. It always was. It issues from us. It is ours. The whole ancient hierarchy of meanings.””

![“As any good teacher of dreams will tell you, you are all the people in your dream. Fritz Perls taught, "[All] the different parts, any part in the dream-is yourself, is a projection of yourself."22 And to ask why we made our story this way and not that way is to reenter our sacred text once again…” quote by Lawrence Kushner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/da1/lawrence-kushner-14033_dream_as-any-good-teacher-of-dreams-will-tell_694174.jpg)
