In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” your host Sheryl Glick
author of Life Is No Coincidence- The Life and Afterlife Connection and
The Living Spirit which shares stories of awakenings, spiritual
communication, healing energies, miracles and soul life awareness, is
delighted to welcome Jon Miller author of Dream Patterns which teaches
us to identify the significant meaningful patterns in our dreams and how
to use that awareness to make necessary changes in our everyday lives.
As listeners of “Healing From Within” well know, Sheryl and her guests
share personal experiences and insights into the world of metaphysics
energy and matter and and possibility, hoping to further recognize and
know our true nature as spiritual beings having a physical life as we
also learn to move with less fear and restriction to create a more
prosperous beautiful life journey.
In today’s episode of Healing from Within perhaps we may learn to
distinguish between those few dreams that are really significant in
isolation and may reflect major life and spiritual changes. We may learn
how to discard the fluff and recognize crucial dream patterns as we
discover how as we sleep our brain analyzes and synthesizes what we have
seen throughout our busy day as well as help to develop our fondest
goals for remembering life in a multi-dimensional way. Some books
encourage decoding symbols but Jonson Miller takes a radical new
approach and shows how the important recurring themes can actually
change our lives. Professor Miller teaches history at Drexel University
and is a member of The International Association for the Study of
Dreams.
Jonson Miller shares his thoughts on how dream dictionaries might let us
down when we are trying to interpret our dreams. A great many books on
dream analysis either by design or unintentionally because of their
individual emphasis treat every dream as possessing extensive meaning or
even as being a grand mystical experience. It may make us feel special
to think that we’ve just had a cosmic experience after awakening from a
dream, but some dreams may just be urging you to go the bathroom. Jonson
deemphasizes the importance of most individual dreams, but at the same
time shows you how to begin to recognize those rare and special dreams
of spiritual importance.
Sheryl tells of what she thought was a dream 23 years ago. “I was so
sick with the flu and was trying to sleep…. Suddenly I felt my
grandfather who had been deceased for at least 30 years right by my
side, in shadow form, yet I knew it was him. He was trying to say
something to me, but I couldn’t quite hear it. Then suddenly knew in my
thoughts that he was saying I had to write something for my father? I
awoke and was very confused by what had transpired. The next day I
received a call from my mother that my Dad had passed and I proceeded to
write his eulogy even though I didn’t exactly do it because I had been
told to. I could not forget the feeling and intensity of that dream and
several years down the road through a coincidental event, a thought went
through my head to read a book by a psychic medium. Again I did what was
suggested to me. I discovered in this book One Last Time the difference
between a dream and a spiritual visitation. A spiritual visitation often
stays with you and can be the opening to higher conscious. Realizing It
wasn’t an ordinary dream, I now was on the path to understand how Spirit
communicates with us and to discover more of the metaphysical aspects of
life, energy and the Afterlife.
Jonson tells us not all dreams are meaningful for interpretation. We may
find if you keep a record of all your recalled dreams over a period of
time that there are patterns in them. You may find that most of the
characters are drawn from a limited pool of people or that your dreams
occur in a limited number of settings…perhaps an old family home wooded
paths, or particular neighborhood.
