The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Optimism

  • the dream mood expresses inner optimism or pessimism and does not have an essential meaning for the dream's explanation.
  • the dreamer should guard against optimism leading to feelings of self-complacency and then to stagnation.
  • it should replace pessimism, especially during a period in which the renunciation of the earthly life is tinged with pessimism; it is also important to realize that for successful mental and spiritual development there is a need to improve your moods, avoid feelings of pessimism, replace them with optimism and ultimately elevate the mind to feeling of motiveless happiness.
