I can't believe this. If so, dreams are very personal. I really don't see the point.I have read in a number of places about pilgrims having very vivid dreams while on the Camino. I've searched and can't find a thread specifically on dreams, so I wondered if anyone would like to share their experience with dreaming while on the Camino. I'm interested in what your dreams were, any themes, or interpretations you made or what meaning you gave them. Any takers?
Yes, I've read Shirley MacLaine, but I've read other memoirs where the authors said that they had very vivid dreams. It made me very curious. Some authors felt they were working things out, some felt it was a result of the pain. As a nurse practitioner, I think it also could be the pain medications that many people take, at the dosages that they're not accustomed to. I'm a Junian at heart and wonder about the collective consciousness. I also think as a psychotherapist that people do often work out their greatest subconscious concerns in their dreams in a very symbolic way. Dreams are something we still don't really understand very well.Been reading Shirley MacLaine? A very vivid imagination methinks. I didn't enjoy her book. I found it boring after a while. Enough wonderful stuff happens on the Camino in reality; no need to gild the lily.
Shirley MacLaine turned 80 a couple of days ago. She was a pilgrim back when she was about 60.
And wrote a book about it. A not very good one.

Kanga, you have such a way with words! "...I always thought she does not let truth get in the way of a good story." Fabulous! You made me smile.She's a good actress, always has been. And she's still good - just watched her in "Downton Abbey". I enjoyed her first couple of books, although I always thought she does not let truth get in the way of a good story. But the Camino book I didn't like at all, and I could not finish the later books. Not my cup of tea.
I am always interested in the content of my dreams (when I remember them) and try to use them instructively.I also think as a psychotherapist that people do often work out their greatest subconscious concerns in their dreams in a very symbolic way.
