When you dream about a movie or movie theater, focus first on the root word “move.” Move can mean physical movement, as in moving to a new town, but also think of movement within you and movement in your life. People are said to move into a phase of life or new understanding of themselves. Or they are moved by compassion or inspiration. Movies are also a terrific storytelling device for telling the story of your life. The focus can be tight, on a specific event or situation, or broad, an overview of you and your life.
