The programmed dreams continue to amaze me. There seems to be no limit to what they can reveal. We repeatedly prove it with cause and treatment for health problems that are not yet known in modern medicine. We also demonstrate this with dreams that go beyond the dreamer more than can be explained by chance. This is similar, for example, to those who face desperate situations and then repeatedly beyond chance find that prayer works.
Various programmed dreams have predicted future events with astonishing precision. This does not mean that the dreamer will receive this particular miracle any night at will, but it indicates that it can happen and we should not exclude the possibility. In fact, excluding the possibility of consideration could eliminate the possibility of it happening. That would be like putting a problem on a computer and adding the stipulation that the computer cannot solve the problem.
Once a couple asked me for advice on whether to get married and I told them to schedule a dream. Also, I said, it will be the same dream because there is only one better answer. I meant, of course, that it would be the same answer. The symbolism can vary. Both had the dream of being married, and the symbolism of each represented having four children. Many years later, after the birth of the fourth child, the woman required a tubal ligation due to pregnancy complications.
In another case, a man programmed a dream about starting a business venture with an oriental partner. The people were honest, friendly and hard-working; but the dream told her that the husband would have a heart attack and could not work, so he did not join society. I don’t know the outcome, but based on thousands of dreams from other shows, I’d be surprised if this didn’t happen.
One of my own personal experiences involved an offer I had to purchase a certain development property. At first glance, it seemed like a promising investment. Crucial to the potential value of this property was the planned opening of a bridge over the bay. People were encouraged to buy two properties because their value would double when the bridge opened and they could sell the second to pay for the first.
However, the timed dream revealed that all the owners would try to sell the second property at the same time the bridge was opened and prices plummeted. Basically, that’s what happened. Prices fell, in some cases, by as much as 50 percent.
Information beyond what is contained in the mind
Information often goes beyond what we would suppose to be contained in the mind. In fact, programmed sleep can provide knowledge that we know for sure was not within the range of information available to us through direct perception of the five senses.
For example, I once wrote a very forceful letter to a patient who was taking too much Valium. Two nights later, while sleeping, I realized that the letter infuriated her so much that she decided not to return. Then, while sleeping, I realized that we were both on the same receptive level of consciousness, so I imagined her deciding to come the next day. When she arrived, she said, “When I got your letter yesterday, I was so angry that I decided I would never come back.
But when I woke up this morning, I changed my mind. “She, of course, thought she had changed her mind when in reality all she did was read my mind. Anyone can do that during sleep, but few realize this.
Two business patients saw their stores robbed during a dream. The first saw someone drilling a hole in the roof of their pawnshop, climbing down a rope ladder and stealing weapons. He called the police and they told him they had already caught him. He had triggered the alarm.
Another woman woke up to a dream that someone tied up her manager in the back room and was stealing her jewelry. She called, and it had just happened. When you schedule enough time for dreams, your mind realizes that it wants to collect information during sleep, and it automatically does it for you. You may receive important information that you need to know. Sometimes the information can alert you to a danger related to a friend and you will know exactly what to do.
