🔮 Principles of Tarot Dream Reading
The Rider-Waite Tarot, designed by Arthur Edward Waite in 1909, is the standard modern tarot. Each card contains rich symbols echoing Jung's "collective unconscious".
When we dream, the subconscious uses similar symbolic language. Flying, falling, water, death - all have corresponding archetypal images in Tarot.
