DREAMS and HEALING

      The  Community Dream Journal  wishes  to cultivate
an  understanding   of  the  role  dreams  may  play  in
fostering health.  We welcome the possibility that from
dreams  we  may  learn  more  about  the  principles of
wholeness   and  healing.   In  many   of   his  readings,
Edgar Cayce showed how dreams contain messages to
the dreamer concerning matters of diet,  exercises and
home   remedies   that   would   be   valuable   for   that
dreamer to apply.  One problem with using dreams for
such    self-guidance    is    the    general   difficulty   in
interpreting the dream correctly.  It  may be that many
health-related   dreams   are   not   obvious,   and   the
dreamer  needs  to  learn  how  to  read  physical signs
from  the dreams.  On  the  other hand,  it  may  be that
some dreams concerning matters  of diet,  for example,
are    quite   specific    and    literal,    and   require   no
interpretation.   It  would  seem  best  at   this  stage  to
collect  reports  from  people  who have  received some
help from their dreams about health-related topics, so
that  we  may see  what ideas  and  inspirations we can
gather  from their testimonies.  Perhaps some suitable
projects for research will emerge from such sharing.
      If you have had  a dream that reveals something of
the principles of healing,  or if you have had a healing
encounter   with   your   dreams,   won't   you  consider
sharing it?  Perhaps  you have developed  a theory of
the  healing  action  of dreams,  or  maybe you  have a
