approaching the symbols in my dreams wasn’t about getting what I want, but about discovering how I can be of service to that which I love.

The actions taken in a dream are also symbols. Whether running is a metaphor for avoidance, or snuggling is symbolic of embracing something unusual, actions show you what movements, decisions, and strategies are at play in the issue at hand.
