Dreams have been an incredible and unequaled source of profound mysteries as well significant revelations—not to mention a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. Our Dreaming Mind, by Robert Van de Castle
The Secret History of Dreaming, by Robert Moss
In my previous essay I described the “Dream Helper Circle.” To read the original article, the second in a series of 10,
. It also automatically evokes and improves the core dream interpretation skill advocated by Cayce. "... correlate those truths..." Scott Sparrow and Mark Thurston developed this idea into the "theme approach."
We begin that exploration in this essay by introducing a novel technique, yet an ancient approach to inducing intuition—heart awareness. I've compiled many resources on the subject of heart awareness--see http://henryreed.net/heart-awareness/

The HeartMath Intitute has done a lot of laboratory research confirming the subjective impressions discussed here. Our approach is focused on learning self-validation of intuition.
The commonalities in the group’s dreams coincide to reveal information and guidance about the target person’s dilemma. At the same time, each individual dream reflects something analogous to that dilemma within individual dreamer. Each dreamer responds to the question, "What am I learning about myself that may be helpful to the focus person and their concern?" A simple dream interpretation exercise provides the answer.
Making reference to the “heart” as a metaphor for the intuitive imagination is quite common. In my book, The Intuitive Heart, I give many examples of such linkage, as in “I know in my heart.” A free e-copy of this book is available here. To purchase a hard copy at Amazon.com, click here!

Think about a child’s concerns about falling asleep: “Where do I go when I go to sleep? Do I disappear? When will I wake up? Will I still be me? Will you be here, Mommy?” By tucking in the child, the mother is physically communicating to the child, “you will be OK, I’ve got you covered!” Perhaps that woman was reassuring herself that it was she was safe as she released control of her breathing. "As a child, I was terrified of death. It was often in the twilight hours, between the moment of lying down and the imperceptible instant of slipping off to sleep, that the terror would arise. The thought of vanishing completely from the world, of being engulfed in ineradicable darkness, would seize upon me and crush with it the very existence of the world. It was not simply that I would no longer be there. It was that reality itself would collapse, devoid of any point of apprehension. Petrified before a void so vast that it could not be contained within thought, let alone a thinking being, it was impossible to know how long it would take to drift off into the abyss that silently beckoned me."
