The more you work with your dreams, the stronger the connection grows between the unconscious and conscious sides of the mind, and the easier it becomes to remember and interpret them. You live your dreams by incorporating them into your daily life, not by limiting them to your sleeping hours.

Dreams are the ultimate life coach, an adviser that sees you inside and out, is there for all the ups and downs, and knows what you really want and how to make it happen. Dream about where you want to go and who you want to be, and follow the trail while awake.

Dreams are life coaches in a broader sense, too, through the wisdom imparted. It is saturnine wisdom that breaks down illusions and exposes what is hidden. No excuses are needed, only a dispassionate look at your life and a desire to better it. Your perceptions deepen. Patterns are easier to identify. People are easier to read. Solutions come more readily to mind. Situations are more readily handled.

Beyond personal development, the dream coach helps answer the question of what you really want. That question is difficult when the answer is “everything” or “no idea.” Dreams identify the road that leads to the most fulfillment, health, and happiness, as seen from the broader perspective of the unconscious mind. They can even see ahead and prepare for the future, and aid in your endeavors and creations. Consider some of the great creations and discoveries credited to dreams:

The periodic table was first seen in dream by Dmitri Mendeleev.

Paul McCartney credits the Beatles song “Yesterday” to a dream.

The first patented sewing machine in America was invented by Elias Howe after dreaming spears with eyelets near the tips were being thrust at him.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein first came to life in her dreams.

Robert Louis Stevenson had been racking his brain for a chilling plot and got it when he “dreamed up” Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the most famous horror stories of all time.

Stephen King regularly “scavenges” (as he puts it) dream material for his books, and credits the premise of his novel Misery to a dream.

A dream showed Jack Nicklaus how to correct a hitch in his golf swing, clearing the way for him to tear up the course and make golf history.

Einstein's theory of relativity came to him in a dream.

Dr. Frederick Banting discovered insulin after dreaming about new diabetes experiments.

The chemist August Kekule dreamed of a snake biting its tail, which supposedly revealed the chemical structure of benzene.

The music to the Christmas carol “O Little Town of Bethlehem” was written after Lewis Henry Redner woke up in the middle of the night and heard what he said was an “angel-strain” whispering in his ear. Was it an angel, a dream, or an angel in a dream?

Salvador Dalí's surrealist paintings are basically all from dreams.

Films like Christopher Nolan's Inception, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1926 novella Dream Story) were all inspired by dreams.
