This is a book that addresses the history and science of dreams.
The author uses his own dreams as examples, some of which are
unique due to Elder's personal and medical history. The dreams
include typical experiences, such as flying, but also extend to
intriguing astral events, prophecies, and messages on the nature of
existence. The author employs the first-person present tense
perspective when describing his dreams, which makes them exciting
and fast-paced. The narrative sections follow the typical academic
style, although Elder has endeavoured to make the material
accessible to the widest possible audience. Unlike many mass-market
books on this subject, it also examines dream science and history
in considerable depth, providing readers with a wealth of unique
insights into what dreams are and why we have them. For example,
Elder relates some forms of dream prophecy to the workings of our
episodic memory system, finding a persuasive basis of support in
modern schema theory and neuropsychological research. Other dreams,
such as those concerning God, humanity's future, and astral
adventures occasionally defy the author's tendency to find
rationalistic explanations, a fact that he both dislikes and
admits. The historical review stretches back to Gilgamesh, and runs
up to modern findings in the neurosciences. Of course, the ideas of
Freud, Jung, and others are discussed along the way, with the
reader getting a great deal of information on what dreams were
thought to mean over the ages. Indeed, there are over 380 sources
scattered throughout the text, and a quick review of the
bibliography will reveal that this is a manuscript of considerable
research and substance. Readers from high school to post-graduate
levels will find items of interest in this fast-moving text, which
leaves a message that is as much spiritual and moral as it is
scientific.
The author, George Shominov, was born in 1958 in Baku, wrote a book
based on his own long-term experience the practical Yoga of Sleep
and Dreams, narrates about passing from simple dreams to Conscious
Dreams, further improvement of Consciousness and eliminating dual
perception of Life (esoteric, philosophy)... Every person on Earth
is in daily (or more precisely, nightly) contact with the great
mystery of his existence. This, of course, is not about sex. This
is about our dreams. Since ancient times, people have been trying
to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon. How many books have been
written on this topic? Various scientific, religious, esoteric and
philosophical movements have each in their own way provided
humanity with their interpretation. So I myself wanted to sort this
out. It all started with the fact that somewhere in the middle of
1997, I decided to write down my dreams. I do not even remember
anymore what prompted me to be fixated on dreams or why it was at
that exact time (although there is one explanation, of which I will
write in a following chapter). And the most interesting thing is
that I would write on a regular piece of paper (that is to say, I
wasn't taking this too seriously). One day a question arose. Is
there at least one person in the world who could remember his very
first dream? Of course, the answer is negative. It is even unclear
in what period of life dreams begin to occur. Most likely, it's
different for everyone. Perhaps in the first year of life, maybe
later... And maybe even in the mother's womb? But there are people
who remember the first dream that they remember (pardon the pun)...
Have you dreamed and wondered what your dreams mean or are trying
to tell you? Do you sometime feel there's a place where you want to
stay and never return to life, or another time you want to wake up
yet unsure if you are awake? Personal out-of-body dreams to the
world of reality. How our outer experiences or dreams tend to
forewarn and interpret our future. Each chapter explains the same
dream of having at least twice a year, as the telling of the story
expand, providing the keys to unlocking the unknown, yet to
interpret from your own interpretations.
Hello out there! It is quite dark in here at the moment with plenty
of space to float about. I can hear your voices flying all around.
Although my journey started a few weeks ago today you found out I
am in here and I growing like a sunflower seed. Since the beginning
of my time I knew I would be your greatest surprise. When you told
dad about me, I could feel that big over whelming happiness all the
way inside. Then I heard that strong voice of my dad and knew I was
his biggest surprise!!!
The hard veil of objective consciousness dissipates for a brief
moment or two, and a scene and a messenger appears... When it comes
to psychic phenomena, the Bible, and God, you've been intentionally
misled. This series is to wake you and help you come to your
senses. You live in QuantumCosm, in which even science posits it is
a spiritual, holographic universe. Nowhere is this more visible
than in relation to visions and dreams. The vision is akin to a
dream. It too is made of the ephemeral and the moment. Here people
wide awake, such as Abraham, Balaam, Mary, Cornelius, Peter, or
John see, hear, or feel something from the non-material dimensions.
Something slips through. Though it's difficult to be certain what
John the revelator prophesies, there are lots of other psychics
forecasting, and we know precisely what the dreams and visions they
describe are dreaming about. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea,
Joel, Amos, and others participate in the unfolding creation of
reality by seeing it and by helping others to see it. They are
professional psychics, living on God's promise: Lo, the psychic
among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision, I speak
with him in a dream. (Num. 12.6) Interpretation is always an issue
with dreams. The Bible offers instruction... The manifest content
is the literal story line. Thus, the manifest content of Pharaoh's
dream is seven gaunt cows eating 7 fat cows and remaining thin. We
are taught to divine for the latent content: what the dream is
really about. Thus Pharaoh receives in a dream the intelligence
that there will be seven years of plenty in the land, followed by
seven years of famine, and to survive, he'd better use the seven
good years to accumulate surplus for the bad years. Pretty kool,
no? And there is more. There's some people think dreams are just
imagination and nonsense... Yet in actuality, the psychical and
physical realms are connected totally from degree to degree. They
are but two poles on one continuum of reality, just as the roots of
darkness and leaves of light are two poles of a single tree. Though
divided in appearance, though divided for ease of discussion, they
are unified, connected seamlessly in the matrix of HoloCosm.
Therefore, certainly some dreams, at least, should have physical
world consequences. Some do. The dream of Pharaoh does accurately
forecast the drought and famine conditions. Implementing the advice
encoded in the dream, the throne meets the threat with abundance
for all the world to survive, including the survival of the Jewish
race. Solomon dreams God gives him the genie's choice, and he picks
wisdom. Does this dream have any effect or manifestation in
reality? After all, the proof of the reality of the dream's
clairvoyance is in the outpressing of reality. And yes, Solomon
does receive the wisdom he seeks. The stories of his wisdom are
legendary. He still enjoys a reputation - 3,000 years later - as
the wisest man on Earth. His Proverbs are relevant, ennobling, and
enjoyed yet today. And he receives far more.... The fugitive Elijah
eats two helpings of a meal served in a dream. On that psychic
nourishment he runs forty days to safety. Surely this is a supernal
food that can take a man over a month in desert country. Here again
we see clearly demonstrated for our instruction, inspiration, and
guidance, the intercommutability of the psychical and the physical
realms. And if you find the topic fascinating, Joseph of the coat
of many colors teaches you how to do dream incubation, and get your
own answers during the night. This is volume 4 of 7 in the Psychic
And Paranormal Phenomena In The Bible Series, Dreams And Visions In
The Bible.
Early in childhood the author sensed magic in the beauty of the
eastern Sierra Nevada; later she she encountered there the one
whose unexpected love and devotion would alter the path of her life
forever. The natural landscape supported her seeking for
understanding, and dreams often informed the way ahead. This is a
spiritual journey of awakening to the greater universe of love and
death, and the possible realities beyond this world.

Central to Sigmund Freud's philosophy on psychoanalysis is the idea
that dreams give a window into ones unconscious desires. This is
the principal argument of his groundbreaking work "The
Interpretation of Dreams." However, realizing the incredibly
technical nature of that more robust work, Freud felt that a
simpler and more accessible derivation of his theories was
necessary in order to popularize his ideas and to make them more
accessible to the average person. "On Dreams" is the result of that
endeavor and it is executed with masterful effect. "On Dreams" is a
straightforward explanation of Freud's theories on dreams and
serves as a great place to start for those who wish to learn more
about this man's ideas and how they helped to form the field of
psychoanalysis.
Anyone who has felt the grief of a loved one's passing knows that
it takes considerable time for healing. When the beloved returns in
a dream, it has a profound effect on our emotional well being. We
wake knowing the person we love is still present, still available
to us. Alex Lukeman, Ph.D. has had "true dreams of return," in
which spiritual beings have visited him, bringing messages of
comfort and wisdom. The stories in this book are all true; they are
the contributions of hundreds of dreamers. Many are dreams of loved
ones who returned to the dreamer days, months, or even years after
death. In these, a sense of completion and deep connection is
always present.
Here are some inspiring stories written by members of the Dream
Factory Community. They share their successes and how they were
supported in taking on their life, their work, and their world. Get
insights into how you can live your dreams.
Have you ever felt not good enough? Alone on your own? Everything
feels like you can't open up. You feel the need to close yourself
off instead of giving in. You put out to just to pull away. Being
alone is the hardest thing, it's fighting yourself to the point
where your enemy is also your best friend. The voice and mind
create your mindset and mind state. You have a powerful energy
within you. When I'm alone, I'll let you in. I'll show you that
loneliness is when your never vulnerable. Let everything show,
collar bone & guts. The heart will love all the things you
hide.
Let Your Dreams Be Your Doctor is the result of author Arlene
Shovald's lifelong fascination with dreams. Revealing her own
healing experiences with dreams as well as the experiences of
fourteen other individuals who contributed to her study on using
dreams to work with emotional and physical problems, she provides
direction for the novice who has just begin to pay attention to
those mysterious messages we get during the night, as well as new
information for the person who has studied his or her dreams for
years. In particular, case studies make the reading interesting and
enjoyable.
As Shovald explains, obtaining information about physical and
emotional health from dreams is rather like going to a doctor who
speaks a foreign language. You many not understand the diagnosis
and plan of treatment in the beginning, but once you learn the
symbolic language of dreams, the information becomes clear.
Aonia edizioni. The medical profession is justly conservative.
Human life should not be considered as the proper material for wild
experiments. Conservatism, however, is too often a welcome excuse
for lazy minds, loath to adapt themselves to fast changing
conditions. Remember the scornful reception which first was
accorded to Freud's discoveries in the domain of the unconscious.
When after years of patient observations, he finally decided to
appear before medical bodies to tell them modestly of some facts
which always recurred in his dream and his patients' dreams, he was
first laughed at and then avoided as a crank. The words "dream
interpretation" were and still are indeed fraught with unpleasant,
unscientific associations. They remind one of all sorts of
childish, superstitious notions, which make up the thread and woof
of dream books, read by none but the ignorant and the primitive...
You are in your sixties and your life and the goals you have set
for yourself should not stop there. You hold the key to whatever
door you want to open. Maturity and the knowledge you have so
gallantly obtained over the years will be your decision maker as to
what you want to do. No one has the right to discourage you. Sit
back and feel the wonder of it all. YOU GO GIRL
