whenever I get stumped in the conscious stage of life (ie, I can't figure things out when I'm awake), I turn to my dreams. That doesn't mean the unconscious will just hand you over the answers, on a mere whim, but that you have already exhausted all possible means of understanding in the conscious state. That means asking questions, researching and reading, studying and examining what it is that you can't puzzle out.
When that has been done, and one can genuinely not make further progress, the dream state will inevitably swoop in for me, and provide the most outrageous, surreal, and immersive experience possible, one that totally upends my previous perspective (a perspective which was obviously quite limited, and created a distorted limit of viewing), and using the poetical visual offerings of the dreamworld, I can create a new construct that supercedes (although envelops) the old pattern that was previously held in the mind.
This has been my primary methodology for personal advancement in the past seven years. All the conscious work is great and all, but the truly groundbreaking forward movements for me have been triggered by the unconscious signalling that a new phase was ready to begin.
