To continue the topic of the head center, we discuss how metaphor can be a way to ‘open’ us up to different narratives or perspectives. When bringing in the aspect of ‘play’ to dreams, symbols can feel more autonomous and alive, giving us a chance to be impacted and moved by them. Kristen and Sammy talk about their own experiences ‘playing’ and being fascinated by metaphor, tying in previous topics from the head center. Kristen also talks about a recent experience with a shift from looking at a dream in a flat way as opposed to a creative and metaphorical way.
