Dreams as Guidance
Paying attention to dreams as messages from the spirit world.
Dreams carry messages from ancestors, spirits, and the deeper self. Recording and interpreting dreams provides guidance for waking life. Some dreams warn; others instruct; still others visit the past or future. Dream literacy is valuable skill.
In dreams, the ancestors visit; listen to what they say.
Dream attention shows Mayan valuation of unconscious guidance.

- What the Maya tradition says about grief
In dreams, the ancestors visit. Dreams of the dead are read as contact carrying information — some warning, some instructing — rather than as symptoms of mourning, a claim most bereavement advice will not make.
