Although some dreams certainly seem to symbolize life challenges or fears, not all dreams have the same “feel.” Many times the imagery represents something in our waking, conscious state that needs to be confronted, or even changed.

Researchers studying the relationship between dream content and the onset of disease have discovered a particular type of recurring dream that often comes long before cancer becomes apparent. Their research suggests that: "Cancer can be seen as a 'growth' process . . . taking place incorrectly in the body rather than in the...

Between 1996 and 2000 I was a telephone hot line volunteer for an organization that put survivors in touch with people newly diagnosed with cancer. The sharing of dreams on the cancer hot line became a wonderful healing exercise for the new patients. Often we talked about dreams that conveyed messages...

As we move deeper into the twenty-first century, we find ourselves in the midst of a tremendous and extraordinarily difficult transition from a world fragmented into often hostile groups and ideologies to a world where people are united by their common humanity. Our dreams hold the potential to transform the...

In my brighter vision of what is to come, our society will be guided by dream helpers. Their constant work is to help those around them to use dreams for guidance and healing. It is recognized that dreams diagnose problems before they manifest...

 There is a healing instinct within you that can manifest in dreams. You'd be surprised at the straightforward health advice they give, either spontaneously or on request. Tips on food, preventive therapies, treatment options constantly come through. A patient told me about a recurring broccoli
dream. "You can't be serious," he said, chuckling. "It's actually trying to tell
me what to eat?"
 Dreams are a direct conduit to the intuitive mind. You can use your dreams as problem-solving tools in the waking world -- but first you have to remember them and learn to decipher their sometimes confusing messages. The dreaming mind is the same intuitive mind where impressions of all the events and interactions with others since the moment of birth, or perhaps even from the beginnings of time, are recorded. The mind has complete access to all this...
by Gillian Kemp. There are five different types of dreams: ordinary, lucid, telepathic, premonitory, and nightmare. They often blend and merge with one another.
What would it be like to have a 'quiet and unerring counselor' at our side each night? How might our relationship with dreams change if we trusted their ability to guide, warn, inspire, and heal? What is invisible to daylight eyes may become clear in the illuminated darkness of sleep. Ancient peoples regarded dreaming as an important experience worthy of our attention and reverence. In their view, sleep...

 Perhaps you have always ignored your dreams or devalued the messages from this part of your psyche. But most cultures of the world have used dreams as healing tools, and Freud and Jung proved the great value that dreams have for us as conduits to instinct, buried memories, and the unconscious.

Dreaming serves to make us healthier -- mentally, physically, and emotionally. But do dreams improve our spiritual health as well? Over the years, we've received many stories from people who had animals appear to them in dreams to alert them to problems, tell them where to find a lost pet, or say a final good-bye after death.
by M.J. Abadie.
Although no one can say for certain what dreams are, where they come from, or even why we have them, there's no doubt that they are important to the quality of our lives. Even people who claim not to dream (they just don't remember their dreams) are in some subtle way affected by their dreams, if only as an unexplainable shift in mood. Anyone who has studied dreams...

Often we may wake up in the morning believing that we have not had any dreams. But it is more likely that we have not yet remembered the dreams we did indeed have. Don't feel discouraged if you do not remember your dreams on awakening. You can do many things to encourage better dream recall.
