My Aunt mentioned that she was very excited to read my book on Directed Dreaming and started telling me about a dream she had. She wanted to see if I knew what it meant.  Her story is as follows:

She was getting ready for a family function where her children were coming from two separate states and were going to meet at her house. Before she went to bed, she said to herself, “I wonder what sort of bad things could possibly happen to the kids before they get here?”

Well, her brain immediately went to work while she slept trying to conjure up some bad things to answer her question.

Oh my – not a good thing at all!  You see, you have to ask questions in a way that your brain can get accurate and correct information; otherwise it just makes something up. I immediately sat her down with a copy of my book, and she was done with it in about two hours.

The next day we were at another family function and she came up to me and said “I tried the tricks in your book, and I found out that I really did get much better information than before, and actually, slept better.”

She had a better sleep because she woke up in the middle of the night and wrote something down that she needed to remember the next day.  After you write down an answer, your brain can stop working on trying to remember it.

In just a short time, she completely changed the way she thought about things; was able to sleep better, and woke up with positive information, instead of a sinking feeling that something would go wrong, just because she asked the wrong questions.

Information is power, as they say, and it pays to have the correct information given to you quickly and easily while you sleep.

Here’s to pleasant dreams – that all come true!

The full title of this article should be:  How Shooting A Shotgun Taught Me The Most Valuable Lesson Of My Life, and Why You Need To Discover This Secret For Yourself If You Crave Success (the shotgun story is a true story).

When I was a little girl, my Dad decided to teach me how to shoot a shotgun.  

He carefully set up a can on a log, and stood behind me, showing me how to hold the shotgun and aim.  He made sure I was ready, AIM, then BAMM! we made the shot!

I was immediately knocked off my feet by the kickback of the gun on my shoulder; my Dad was standing right there, so he quickly caught me.  It hurt so bad that I almost started to cry, but I didn’t want to disappoint my Dad, so I held it in.  Why hadn’t he remembered about the sudden shock to a person’s shoulder when you shoot a shotgun?  Why hadn’t he warned me?

I think I finally figured out why.  It was not something he even thought about.  You see, it was in the back of his mind, in the front of his mind, he was standing right there to protect me.  He was kneeling right beside me and would not let anything happen to me.  He was concentrating so hard, and was so excited about making sure I hit the target, that he forgot all about the kickback.
I bet you’re wondering what this has to do with anything; so I’ll tell you, it has everything to do with Directed Dreaming

Directed Dreaming is about finding those things that are in the back of your mind (things hidden in your unconscious mind).  It’s a simple concept and easy to do, but most people forget about it because it seems too simple.  However, by not doing this simple process, you are not seeing the things you need to see; things that are right in front of your eyes, and important information is just passing you by.

With Directed Dreaming you can harness the power of your subconscious mind and quickly get answers to your most desired questions. You will no longer pass up important information, you will know exactly what you need to know and why.  Your intuition will always be available to you because you will know how to access it (and when to pay attention!)  In fact, as you’re skimming through this article, you may be remembering times that this happened to you, times when you should have known something, or done something, but did not act upon it, and you lost out —

You have nothing to lose here — and everything to gain by trying out these simple concepts.

Before you can go about interpreting your dreams and learning what they have to teach you, it is important to remember your dreams.

It is estimated that as much as 50% of a dream’s content is lost within five minutes of waking, and as much as 90% of the content can be lost after only ten minutes. This short window of recall is one reason that many people insist they rarely or never dream, even though sleep scientists have proven that every human being dreams from between four and seven times each and every night.

One great way to remember your dreams, and to begin to analyze and interpret them, is to keep a dream journal. A dream journal does not have to be anything elaborate or fancy. The dream journal can be as simple as a table kept on the nightstand by the bed. Try to get into the habit of writing down what you remember of your dream every morning immediately upon waking. It is important to do this as soon as you are awake, since the majority of the dream can be lost in just a few minutes.

If you cannot remember the entire dream, just jot down a few words, or even your impressions of the dream. Many people begin to see patterns emerging after they have kept a sleep journal for a number of nights. For instance, even if your dreams are different each night, there may be similar themes or locations. These themes and locations can be a big help later on when you begin attempting to interpret your dreams. When interpreting your dreams, try to make it fun and interesting. If it seems like drudgery it probably is not worth doing.

Most people engage in dream interpretation for their own etertainment and enlightenment, and not for any deeper philosophical or psychological reason. Some people, however, are able to use their nightly dreams as springboards into their subconscious, and these people are often able to use the locations, people and events found in their dreams to work through issues they are facing in the real world.

For instance, if you dream constantly about falling, it could indicate that you feel your life is out of control and unstable. If you can examine your life and take control of it, it can result in not only a cessation of those bad dreams but in a better and more fulfilling life as well.

Fear of certain events in your life, or anxiety about things you cannot face, can often manifest itself through dreams in which you are being chased, or pursued by an attacker. Those experiencing these frightening and disturbing dreams often benefit from performing a self examination to determine what they are afraid to face. Once these challenges have been faced, the chasing dreams usually go away.

It is even possible to work through some traumas while still in the dream state. For instance, those who dream of being pursued are sometimes able to turn their dreams around by confronting the attacker within the dream. Simply turning around and asking the pursuer what he or she wants from you is often enough to turn the dream into a positive one, and to begin working through the psychological issues that caused it. Of course not all dream issues are so easily solved.

If your dream journal reveals frequent nightmares or similar disturbing dreams, it could be related to a past trauma that will take professional help to address. For instance, soldiers returning from war zones, and rescue workers returning from floods, fires and other natural disasters, report a higher level of nightmares than does the general public. It seems that bad dreams and nightmares may be the subconscious mind’s way of dealing with issues the conscious mind is not ready to confront. Confronting these demons, and banishing the nightmares they engender, often requires the help of a qualified counselor or therapist.
