Today's topic is co-creative dreaming with the originator of the FiveStar method of dream interpretation, Dr. Scott Sparrow. Scott has 40 years of professional experience working with dreams. Listen as we chat about lucid dreams, dreaming during a full moon, and nightmares. Scott demonstrates the FiveStar method as he helps me interpret one of my dreams...and we barely touch on symbolism!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Board Certified LPC-Supervisor in Texas, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Virginia, Scott has maintained a solo private practice in professional counseling since 1982, and currently practices in McAllen, Texas. He specializes in existential, Jungian, systemic, and transpersonal approaches to therapy, and has developed an innovative approach to dream work based on his lucid dream research, called the FiveStar Method. He is the founder of DreamStar Institute, which offers mentoring and certification in dream analysis for laypersons and clinicians. He wrote the early classic, "Lucid Dreaming: Dawning of the Clear Light", and has also authored several articles and home-study courses in the field of dream theory and dream analysis.

Scott has lectured and taught courses across the U.S. on such topics as meditation, spiritual experiences, and dream work methods. He is a student of Jungian psychology, comparative religions, and contemplative Christianity. For several years, he made a study of the "Christ encounter," which is the visionary or dream experience of meeting Christ face-to-face. A book on this research titled, "I Am With You Always: True Stories of Encounters With Jesus"–a Barnes and Noble bestseller, Book of the Month selection, and Quality Paperback selection–that was published by Bantam in 1995. Similarly, he subsequently wrote a book about dreams and visions of Mary, titled "Blessed Among Women: Encounters with Mary and Her Message" (Crown, 1997).
