Can the mind, one's true essence, or soul travel through dream? Can
we interact with future children and deceased loved ones while
dreaming? This colorful book asks those questions and more, as the
reader takes a journey through time and place, across culture and
religion. Announcing dreams and dreams around the time of death are
highlighted and examined alongside related phenomena followed by
tips for greater dream awareness.
This book is based on certain dreams in my life, that is to say, I
would have a dream about something that left a mark on me and gave
me such emotion to actually create a literal piece. How many times
have we had dreams, such as a friend dying or a lover leaving, even
though it may or may not have happened? Then a week or so later,
fate steps in and takes this person out of our lives? Wow, is that
karma or what? Or, when we love someone so much that it hurts us so
deep, when we are ignored or all of a sudden cheated on or had our
heart broke, all because this person decided that it was best for
them to move on and not tell us. Talk about extreme and emotional
pain, right? So, how do we handle that? I guess we could just say,
forget it and move on, but everyone is not as strong as that. These
types of people fret over that or cry and then what do they get in
return, but someone who was a friend laughing at them, or someone
spreading rumors about them? Paranoid, am I? That is the typical
attitude today, that we have to live in a dog eat dog world, get
them before they get us, and kick a man when he's down mentality.
So, now is where we get into the "wishes" aspect. All of us whether
we are well off or not have one time or another wished that we were
someone else or that we were in another situation. Sometimes, we
may even wish that special lover back into our lives even though
they are married at the present or don't love us anymore. It
doesn't matter who you are, whether rich, poor, big, or small have
all wished to be someone or somewhere else, especially when the
going gets tough. I have learned that God (or whatever deity you
believe in) knows what's best for us and will give us ourneeds, so
in essence, we do receive our wishes in due time, according to his
will. I am hoping that anyone who reads this book will find
something in it to help him or her cope with whatever is on their
minds. For instance, if you want a lover back in your life and it
will never happen, perhaps you may find something here to put your
situation into perspective and realize that life will get better,
certainly, it could be a lot worse. Also, I want to reiterate to
never give up on your dreams, even though far-fetched or abnormal
people make them seem, you can make anything happen for yourself,
if you believe in yourself.
When a child talks about a vivid nighttime dream, it can be
difficult for adults to know how to respond. Dream researchers
Kelly Bulkeley and Patricia Bulkley take readers beyond "it was
just a dream" to help children and adults understand why we dream
and how dreams can help us unlock our creativity and make sense of
our lives. The book introduces readers to the basic psychology and
neuroscience of dreaming, then explores dreams from early childhood
through adolescence. The book focuses on what psychologist C. G.
Jung called the "big dreams" of childhood-intensely memorable
dreams that can blaze themselves into children's memories and
remain a haunting, often inspiring, presence throughout their
lives. While acknowledging that a complete interpretation of any
dream requires personal input from the dreamer, the authors show
readers how to identify recurrent patterns in dreams that reflect
the primal wisdom and the healthy growth of every child's mind and
imagination. Children's Dreams offers practical advice about how
adults can best communicate with children about dreams to offer
reassurance and to cultivate a child's imagination and development.

Mother Nature is in the business of writing software programs in
DNA. Dreaming is our software program, and it is also how early
Homo sapiens learned logic and the use of tools.
Author Jerry DC Nelson is neither a scientist, a doctor, nor a
physiologist-just an engineer with a bottomless thirst for details
on how everything works. When some of his dreams became intriguing,
Nelson began to wonder why we dream. What makes us dream, and how
do we dream?
During Nelson's search for answers, he interviewed friends, read
books and articles on the dreaming brain, and watched television
programs pertaining to the functions of the brain. In all his
research, he never found any satisfactory answers to the question
of why we have these wonderful, unique, strange, and bizarre
dreams. Then, after recording hundreds of dreams, he started to see
particular patterns emerging, which lead him to formulate several
theories. When Mother Nature was worked into the equation,
everything fell into place.
After having recorded more than 4,000 dreams and conducted many
years of research, Nelson is confident that he has enough detailed
information to back up his theories on why we dream. "Logistics of
Dreaming" is his way of sharing some of Mother Nature's
brilliancies concerning the dreaming brain.

their symbolism, trajectory, and unspoken logic. She supplies the
tools for nuanced readings of each nightmare, as well as
fascinating thoughts on societal nightmares that occur in troubling
times. She also offers strategies for shaking yourself free of

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.
Dreams have always been important to humanity, but in modern times
we have lost the ability to understand what our dreams are telling
us. In The Dreamer's Odyssey, the author provides a step-by-step
guide to help the individual interpret and work through their own
dreams. It can also be used by counsellors and other professionals
to give them an understanding of the basis of Jung's dream
analysis. The 10 week guide has been adapted from the courses that
the author, Jacquie Flecknoe-Brown, has run successfully for many
years. Closely linked to the theory of C. G. Jung, each chapter
includes an interpreted dream relevant to the weekly content. It
also includes analysis of dream-theory, and interpretation of
mythical material to illustrate theoretical points. Working with
dreams and their images helps us to be more conscious of ourselves,
our shadows, our opposites, and our purpose. Dreams can ease our
burdens, help us problem-solve, improve our memories, and enlighten
us. The dream is a natural, and living phenomenon - working to
understand our dreams will have an effect on many aspects of our
lives.
