Alternate dreams can seem to offer something of value to the dreamer when desire is split or multiple. The nagging sense of separation raises the question, “Which of these dreams is reality?” Yet reality is only approached when conflicting dreams are brought together and forgiveness shows that all the dream figures were aspects of mind. The roles in conflicting dreams were but shadows that veiled the true self, and in the dream everyone and everything is symbolic. Peace comes at last when it is apparent that there is nothing outside the mind.
