Tangled in the Psyche

Our dreams are very personalized; a representation of what we fear and what we are confident about, among many other things. And a dreamcatcher is meant to catch the dreams that we call nightmares. But what is a nightmare to any one person? And, why, underneath it all, does a person fear that thing?
In the same way, those parts of our personalities that we keep from others, or only share with certain very close people, can also reveal a great deal about ourselves and the inner workings of our psyche. I think that the balancing of this duality--the public and private--and all the other little pieces of ourselves, is an every day essential. After all, our minds, like our bodies, are not made of one single thing, but, rather, of many little pieces that work together to create the illusion of something that is whole.
