The most valuable gift of dreams is not specific insights or meanings — most of us have too many ideas about ourselves — but rather the development of an attitude toward life that appreciates the importance of imagery, mystery, and interior experience. Dreams teach us how to live an enchanted life: how to glimpse underworld themes and characters in daily life, how to look at and listen to the arts, how to reflect deeply on relationships, and how to see the soul in our work.
— Thomas Moore, The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life
