Pioneer in the use of dreams for problem solving and in the interpretation of dreams using "Dream Interview" questions rather than preconceived beliefs, myths, psychological dogma, or the interpreter's projections often mistakenly called intuitions.
My approach will appeal only to those who do not need a guru, or an old wise man/priest, and who want to figure out what their own brains are telling them at night in their own private language of metaphor. I see "depth" as understanding the dynamics of your life manifest in the quality of your relationships, creativity, and work--not in your ability to relate your dreams to someone else's psychological theories.
I have presented this non-denominational dream work on hundreds of TV shows including Oprah, NBC Nightly News, Today Show, GMA, Anderson 380 and at many Universities and private and professional societies. My goal is to get the superstition out of dream work, to teach people how to understand the meaning and usefulness of their dreaming minds that are so very adept at helping one to recognize, assess, and resolve daily problems and opportunities.
If you remember that even your nightmares are there to help you, you can save yourself years of confusion, conflict, and in come cases, bad marriages and unwise decisions. Your dreams don't do the work for you, they do not decide things for you, they give you the fuller picture of the situation so you can make better choices.
My books focus on practical applications of my Dream Interview method which I began to formulate one day in 1971 in a class on dreaming at Princeton when I was a senior. I tell the story in Living Your Dreams.
My favorite book? Ah! For teaching the "Dream Interview" method, Breakthrough Dreaming: How to Use the Power of Your 24-Hour Mind. For uncovering a too often hidden subject: Sensual Dreaming. For the beginner,and for professionals as in-therapy guide: In Your Dreams. For problem solving in Dreams: Living Your Dreams. For an overview of my work and the field, All About Dreams. All are described on my site: www.YourSleepingGenius.com. There you will also find a couple of videos from my Today Show talks on dreams.
