Then I fell asleep again. It occurred to me at six o’clock in the morning that during the night I had written down something important, but I was unable to decipher the scrawl.

Slide21: 

The next night, at three o’clock, the idea returned. It was the design of an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis of chemical transmission that I had uttered 17 years ago was correct.

Slide22: 

I got up immediately, went to the laboratory, and performed a simple experiment on a frog’s heart according to the nocturnal design…

Robert Louis Stephenson: in an essay on his amazing creativity and his dreams wrote: “Well, as regards the dreamer, I can answer that, for he is no less a person than myself…and for the Little People, what shall I say they are but my Brownies. God bless them! Who do one-half my work while I am fast asleep, and in all human likelihood, do the rest for me as well, when I am wide awake and fodly suppose I do it for myself.” From such dream work came works like “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” :

Slide35: 

In other words- dreams take us “outside of the box” and into a world of immense potential and creativity.

Who Dreams ? ? ?: 

Who Dreams ? ? ? Everyone dreams, every night

Dreams of Deaf and Blind: 

Dreams of Deaf and Blind Repeated studies have documented that deaf and blind individuals dream. It is not the purpose of this talk to go into these dreams in any special ways. Rather, I will look at dreams generically—that is, in ways applicable to all populations in general. This will allow for adaptations of dream work within special needs populations. On going, adaptive comments will be made throughout this presentation.

Slide38: 

A Simple, Practical Method of Working With Dreams- Your Own or Someone Else’s

Remembering Your Dreams: 

Remembering Your Dreams Average person dreams 5 to 7 times each night Many people have no dream recollection Remembering dreams takes conscious intention and preparation Preacher story- pray’n for rain.

Dream Recollection: 

Dream Recollection Intension as you go to bed Note pad, pen by the bed Upon waking- look for the dream Retain body position Rehearse dream summary Outline, the narrative

Writing the Narrative: 

Writing the Narrative Pretend it’s a movie Note scenery, plot, characters, sets Move from your outline to a full script When completed, re-read it and give it a title

What Title ?: 

What Title ? Pretend you’re Fellini… Identify key symbols People Objects Colors, sounds, directions Direct statements Animals, creature So, what shall we call it ?

Working With the Symbols: 

Working With the Symbols Once identified, look at them one by one What associations do you have with each one? Write these associations down Go through the entire list When done, read what you’ve written down back to yourself

Coming to An Understanding: 

Coming to An Understanding The dream is trying to tell you something But it is using symbols and metaphors to do this This is done in part to get this information past your sensor— the Ego

Elias Howe’s Dream: 

Elias Howe’s Dream Everyone trying to invent a sowing machine. The needle and the thread were both the key and the stumbling block Everybody was trying to thread the needle at the back Howe saw natives with spears with holes in the tips of their spears

Such a dream may seem obvious to you and I today, but that is because we already know about needles and sowing machines. Howe had to figure it out. He had to interpret what the dream was telling him. Once he did, the rest was history.:

Slide50: 

Take a problem, situation, or idea to bed with you with the clear and expressed intention of dreaming about it.

Slide51: 

After the dream comes to you during the night, be ready to write it down and work with it when you wake up. You may be utterly amazed at the inspiration it provides.

Slide52: 

Most of all, learn to be aware of your dreams. Put them to use. They are one of your most valuable creative resources.

Slide53: 

“It is my personal opinion that in the science of the future reality will neither be ‘psychic’ nor ‘physical’ but somehow both and somehow neither.” Nobel Prize Physicist, Wolgang Pauli (Mindell, 2004) 15. (A close friend of C. G. Jung) “The math of physics is like the dream behind reality.” (Mindell, 2004) 5
