Introduction to Dream Healing

Night time dreams can be incubated. That means that having an intention, asking a question or just thinking about a particular subject can produce dreams that are a response to the dreamer’s interest or query. 

Dream workers who have studied this process in more depth have discovered that dreams can transmit meaningful information to the dreamer, and can also generate experiences which have a beneficial influence on the consciousness of the dreamer.

Dream Healing is a way to utilize the two aforementioned processes while wide awake. First the individual sets an intention, or prepares a question, then goes into an altered state of consciousness similar to the hypnagogic state between waking and sleeping. A dream is then invoked. At that point the role of the dreamer is simply to be attentive and keep the dream going until it appears to have come to a natural conclusion.

By fully inculcating the dream the dreamer experiences a shift in consciousness that is in some way a reflection of the dreamer’s intention. To produce that shift, sometimes the dream must be examined more deeply, sometimes it simply needs to be fully experienced, received, or taken to heart the way you might receive and respond to a message from a trusted, respected and well-loved friend. 

The dreamer’s everyday mind does not produce the contents of a dream, though it may initiate the dreaming process. The dreams comes from a dimension of consciousness which has access to greater amounts of information than the everyday mind and can organize that information in ways that directly respond to the dreamers need to evolve their consciousness, heal or understand themselves,  change something, be guided or be inspired.

A dream is a complex unit of information. It can also be seen as a quantum of energy. Because of entanglement, which is a word referring to the simple fact that particles of energy can become correlated to predictably interact with each other, we realize that it is also possible to transfer a dream from one person to another. 

Under some circumstances that is valuable because once entangled with the subjects own field of consciousness the objective second person may have access to information and energy which the subject needs but resists receiving, or has trouble accessing. The second person, or healer, can therefore sometimes deliver a dream that is more complete or to the point than the subject is capable of invoking and receiving all by himself.

Dream Healing uses these processes – intention, invocation, transfer – in a variety of ways that wed the skill to contemporary knowledge of how healing happens,  how consciousness shifts and evolves, and how our little self learns to communicate with our bigger Self.
