Air is the most misunderstood of the elemental states, because of its intangible nature and lack of visible manifestation. It should be taken into consideration, however, that without air there can be no fire, that water devoid of oxygen is merely hydrogen gas, and that in the absence of air there is no conscious life. COGNITIVE CHAIN
Air represents the insubstantial slate of mind and cognizance As a progressive chain of development, elemental air is the final stage of spiritual evolution. Fire is the first creative spark, the initial catalytic energy flash, which coalesces into the nurturing
waters of life and growth. Earth is the solid corporeal phase of existence, but all life is cyclical and this material slate eventually wanes before breaking down altogether, leaving the final stage of discarnate spirit or soul-like auric energy. In essence, elemental
air can be considered the driving motive force governing your life and actions.
The invisible element of air is all that is left at the end of your spiritual development, as material existence fades away and only energy is left.
Great significance was always applied to dreams, and dreams are linked to air as the element of the mind. To primitive peoples, sleep was not just a state of rest, it was also a time when the barriers to the spirit world were lowered. Gods gave messages and premonitions in dreams, while demons of lust (the incubi and succubi) tormented frustrated souls and death could easily snatch a dreamer. A whole secondary life existed within the confines of sleep. so much so that the Greeks had two deities that specifically intervened with mortals: Hypnos and his son Morpheus, the Hades-dwelling gods of sleep and dreams.

To the conscious mind,these appear as a distorted foreign language that requires deciphering, regular dream diary can help you to self-analyze and better define your real, deeper personality.
