Description

Heal Yourself While You Sleep

Dream Your Problems Away focuses on training the reader to take charge of their lives. Our subconscious never really sleeps, and when our physical body is unconscious and resting our subconscious is free to travel to other dimensions. We only recall fragments of these excursions as dreams.

Dr. Bruce Goldberg does not place much value in dream interpretation, except by the dreamer themselves. A thorough discussion of dream world, and how it represents other dimensions is presented. This world of dreams is just as real as our physical realm. We can learn to use certain simple techniques to heal ourselves by mastering our dreams and dreaming our problems away.

Dream Your Problems Away surveys ancient dreaming methods, such as dream incubation, shamanic dreaming and yogic approaches. Out-of-body techniques are presented in the chapter on lucid dreams. Methods of seeing into the future are given, as well as methods to improve creativity and heal oneself. The dangers of "waking-sleep," or robotic functioning are also discussed.

We may look upon dream world as the fifth dimension and literally change our life by altering the content of these dreams. A culture that acts out their dreams the following day and has the lowest rate of psychopathology in the world, the Senoi of Malaysia, is thoroughly explored.

How To Use This Book

This book contains dozens of exercises specifically designed to train you to experience self-hypnosis. It doesn’t matter what your background is.

You can accept or reject any of the principles and concepts presented here. Empowerment is vital. I stress that in my Los Angeles hypnotherapy practice and in my personal life as well. If you become rigid and stuck in your views, you become trapped by your beliefs. You are no longer empowered because you are no longer free.

Always use your judgment and free will in trying these exercises. Use the ones you feel comfortable with and ignore the others. These exercises are all perfectly safe and have been tested for more than 25 years. You may create your own exercises from these models.

Read each exercise through to become familiar with it. Use the relaxation techniques given or your own. You may practice alone or with others. I strongly suggest that you make tapes of these exercises. Read the scripts slowly and leave enough space on your tape to experience each part of the procedure.

Practice once or twice a day, in 15- to 20-minute sessions. In general, it is considered more efficient to practice in the morning, as it may provide a relaxing start for the entire day. The more specific and realistic your schedule, the better the chances that you will succeed.

You should choose a part of your day when you are at your best. If you wait to practice until long after you get home from a hard day at work, you might only practice going to sleep. Self-hypnosis is more efficient if practiced when you are reasonably alert. Begin by picking a good time to practice.

If you wake up alert and rested first thing in the morning, practice then, before getting out of bed. Take into account whether or not you will be disturbed by spouse, lover, kids, pets, and so forth. Choose a time when you are not likely to be interrupted. Other popular times are before lunch or dinner.

Four components of successful self-hypnosis are:

• A quiet environment.
• A mental device.
• A passive attitude.
• A comfortable position.

When you enter into a self-hypnotic trance, you will observe the following:

• A positive mood (tranquility, peace of mind).
• An experience of unity or oneness with the environment. 
• An inability to describe the experience in words. 
• An alteration in time/space relationships.
• An enhanced sense of reality and meaning.

If you experience difficulty with an exercise, do not become frustrated. Some techniques are quite advanced and you may not be ready for all of them. Return to the ones you could not successfully work wit at another time. Practice these trance states when you have time and are relaxed. Be patient. It takes time to master trance states and to become accustomed to this new and wonderful world. No one way is the right way to experience a trance. Your body may feel light, or it may feel heavy; you may feel as if you are dreaming; your eyelids may flutter; or your body can become cooler or warmer. All these possible responses are perfectly safe.

Because you will at first be unfamiliar with the techniques, your initial practice sessions should run as long as you need. As you become more proficient, you will be able to shorten these sessions. Some days nothing may seem to work. Try not to become discouraged. Remember that other days will be more fruitful. Always work at your own pace and with an open mind.
