SOLVE PROBLEMS AND SAVE LIVES THROUGH THE MYSTERY OF DREAM IMPRESSIONS

I have found, in my counseling experience, that people from all walks of life are fascinated by dreams. Today in medical research laboratories, teams of psychologists and doctors are conducting experiments on the dreams of men and women, and they have come to the conclusion that all people dream; furthermore, in extensive test cases, these scientists have discovered that when the subjects are awakened periodically while dreaming, this deprivation of dream life may bring on mental, emotional, and even physical disturbances.

Many people are familiar with the names of Freud, Jung, and Adler, who have acquired fame for having delved into the dream lives of their subjects. Through their studies of the dreams of their subjects, these men have evolved different schools of psychology, namely psychoanalysis (Freud), analytical psychology (Jung), and individual psychology (Adler). All three have written extensively in the field of dreams, and their interpretations and conclusions vary considerably. These differences are so conflicting and varied that I shall not even begin to discuss them here.

The purpose of this chapter and this book, however, is to show that the key to solving your problem often comes as a clear-cut and definite answer in a dream.

How Billy Solved His Problem through a Dream

Billy is twelve years old. He hears my lectures occasionally, as I suggest to parents that all children twelve aged and older should attend; they are quite able to understand this teaching.

Billy told me that his mother gave him a book to read, Treasure Island, which is about Hawaii. He read it avidly. Knowing to some degree how his subconscious mind works, every night prior to sleep he spoke to his subconscious mind (which he calls “Subby”) as follows: “Subby, I am going to Hawaii for my vacation. I am going by plane and I’ll swim in the ocean, ride a bicycle over one of the islands, and live in a penthouse. I want a clear answer, please.”

He did not discuss this with his brother, father, or mother. Following these suggestions to his subconscious mind, he had a dream wherein he clearly saw a penthouse, the name of a hotel—Maui Hilton—and the Island of Maui in the chain of the Hawaiian Islands. He said to his mother the next day, “Mom, we are going to Hawaii for our vacation,” and he gave her all the details.

She laughed and said, “Well, this is news to me! Where did you get that idea?”

Billy replied, “All I know is that we are going, and we’ll live in a penthouse at a hotel.” His mother dismissed the dream as one of the vagaries of a young mind.

Two weeks later, Billy’s father (who knew nothing about the dream), because of his son’s excellent grades in school, suggested that Billy’s mother go with both the boys on a vacation to Hawaii, a place he had come to know and love during his time there as a Naval officer; he said he would pay all the expenses involved.
