  "I heard this," "Someone said it," or "I read it somewhere." I always recall Rudolf Steiner, who said that, as a rule, you cannot interpret any dreams at all.

• 11:35

  That is why the first focus of attention I mentioned, the exercise of looking back and remembering that there were nights too, recognizing that you lived through those nights, is so important.
