50 Dream Triggers For Uncovering Your Heart’s Desire

The famous English crime writer P.D. James once said the following: “It shows considerable wisdom to know what you want in life and then to direct all your energies towards getting it.” However, few people know what they truly want in life.

A great tool for deciding what it is that you want–or for uncovering your heart’s desire–is to ask yourself questions.
