Dreaming is an altered state of consciousness that we all visit regularly. Dreams are a way of processing lifes events, a portal to the subconscious. There are some similarities with the dream state and the shamanistic view of experiencing other ‘realms’ and also the concept of ‘soul loss’.

Trauma is an emotional and physiological response to a triggering event. After time has passed, it is not the actual event that is the problem but the nervous systems continued response to it.
