A guide to dream precognition and its implications * Outlines a set
of clear principles to help guide dreamworkers, illustrated through
real precognitive dream experiences * Shows how to detect
precognitive dreams through their characteristic features,
explaining how dreams relate to memory and why dreams about future
experiences are often symbolic or distorted * Explores the
mind-blowing implications of precognition for our lives, including
how our present thoughts actually shape--or shaped--our past Once
only the stuff of science fiction, evidence has grown that
precognition--glimpses of your future in dreams and visions and
being influenced subtly in waking life by what is to come--is real.
Your future thoughts and feelings shape who you are now. And your
present thoughts and feelings shape--or shaped--your past. In this
accessible exploration of precognition, precognitive dreamwork, and
a radically new biographical sensibility, the Long Self, that
precognition awakens us to, Eric Wargo shows how dreamworkers can
play the role of citizen scientists, adding to our understanding of
this fascinating, almost unexplored dimension of human life. Wargo
outlines a set of clear principles to guide dreamworkers, each
illustrated through real dreamers' experiences. Drawing on
psychoanalysis and contemporary sleep science, he explores how
precognition relates to memory, explaining why dreams of future
experiences are often distorted and what those distortions probably
mean. He discusses never-before-described dream features, including
"time gimmicks" (symbols hinting at time distortion) and
"calendrical resonance" (the tendency of dreams to foretell
experiences exactly a year or years later). He describes why an
understanding of precognition augments Jung's theory of
synchronicity by highlighting our own role in producing meaningful
coincidences in our waking lives. He also shows how precognition
manifests in other states of consciousness like lucid dreams,
out-of-body experiences, trance states, sleep paralysis,
meditation, and hypnagogia. We are at a major turning point in
science's understanding of time, causality, and the self. We are
more than who we think we are from moment to moment--we are our
past, present, and future simultaneously. When we understand this,
a dream journal becomes a personal time machine, with mind-blowing
discoveries in store for the traveler.
Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an
extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the
boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he
stumbles upon the Inner Self. While lucid (consciously aware) in
the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures,
objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced
something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact
consciously with the dream observer -- the apparent Inner Self --
within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible,
since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects
as the Subliminal Self, the Center, the Internal Self-Helper in
vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that
aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but
actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the
dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from
which to understand dreaming and the larger picture of man's psyche
as well. Waggoner proposes 5 stages of lucid dreaming and guides
readers through them, offering advice for those who have never
experienced the lucid dream state and suggestions for how
experienced lucid dreamers can advance to a new level. Lucid
Dreaming offers exciting insights and vivid illustrations that will
intrigue not only avid dreamworkers but anyone who is interested in
consciousness, identity, and the definition of reality.
"Growing numbers of people are fascinated by the dream world. From
psychological scholars and analysts to spontaneous groups and
cults, the dream has a compelling voice. I make the point in this
book that our dreams are our most creative inner source of wisdom
and hope. The criterion for selection is simply that each one
illustrates a common human life experience that all readers have
had or are likely to have." -- From the Introduction by the Author
VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS. Have you ever
dreamt you were naked on stage, or woken having failed an exam? In
these fascinating, pioneering essays, Sigmund Freud plunges into
the recesses of our minds, and awakens the hidden meanings behind
our most typical and surprising night-time fantasies. From dreams
of violence and death, to the more prosaic moments in our
dream-life, Freud shines a light on the darkness we are often happy
left consigned to night. Selected from the books The Essentials of
Psycho-Analysis and The Standard Edition of the Complete
Psychological Works of the Sigmund Freud, Volume IV: The
Interpretation of Dreams (First Part) by Sigmund Freud
This book is a new angle on dream interpretation, providing a Christian response to New Age and other unbiblical approaches to dreams.
What is God saying to you in your dreams? Let a leading prophetic voice teach you how to build your dream language vocabulary.
Given the average human sleeps eight hours a night-one third of our time spent on planet earth-it should come as no surprise that God will at times speak to us through Spirit-inspired dreams. Decoding Your Dreams will demystify God's dream language.
The truth is God speaks to each of us in ways that are personal to our culture and our life experience. If you are a Spanish speaker, for instance, God will typically not speak to you in Chinese. Much the same, if you are a dog lover God may use a dog in your dream to symbolize loyalty. But if you were attacked by a dog as a youth, a dog will mean something much different to you. It is vital we take to truly understand our dreams.
In the Bible, there are over 200 mentions of dreams and visions. From Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel in the Old Testament to Joseph and the apostles in the New Testament, God has spoken to His people through dreams throughout out recorded history.
Decoding Your Dreams will provide a solid, safe explanation of the dream world and dream languages that will help readers understand what God is really saying to them
From dreams realistic and reminiscent to the world of nightmare and phantasmagoria, from the bizarre and ridiculous to the perplexing and haunting, this anthology draws on the dreams of a wide variety of novelists, poets, playwrights, and others to explore the inexhaustible fascination of dreams and their power as a source of literary inspiration.
Our Dreams Will Never Be the Same Again
International bestselling author Rodger Kamenetz believes it is
not too late to reclaim the lost power of our nightly visions. He
fearlessly delves into this mysterious inner realm and shows us
that dreams are not only intensely meaningful, but hold essential
truths about who we are. In the end, each of us has the choice to
embark on this illuminating path to the soul.
