research project that you would like to make available
to  others  in  our  dream  journal  community.  Even  a
simple, apparently mundane example of how you have
found healing help in  a dream could  be instructive to
the rest of us,  especially  if  you  can  provide  specific
points   of  relationship  between   the  dream  and  the
observed  symptoms,   applied  remedies  and  verified
results.

Dear Journal:
      I  dreamed,  I am driving  my VW  when the headlights
suddenly  go  out.   I  feel  a  sudden  sense   of  doom  and
finality.  I awakened with a definite sense of uneasiness. I
had  not been feeling well  at all during those past several
months,  but  several medical tests  had  revealed nothing.
Driving  my   car   in   my   dreams   had   come   to   have
connotations  of  my  physical body,  and  this dream was
very disturbing.
      I  had  a  very  busy  day  at  work and,  driving home, I
suddenly  blacked  out.  Upon regaining consciousness,  I
realized  that  my  car was about  to run into a guardrail.  I
lived through that dream.
      Later  my  condition  was  diagnosed  as  a  metabolic
dysfunction, like hypoglycemia. I am now on a strict diet.
Any   time   I   stray   from   the   diet   I'll  dream  of  dim
headlights, which warns me to get back on course.

community and  I  was to choose either  of two hospitals
in nearby cities.  I  chose the one where a doctor whom I
knew practiced.  Then,  the  night  before  I  was  to enter
that  hospital,  I  had  a  dream.  In  it, the doctor I knew is
standing  over  me  with  a long butcher knife  ready to cut
me  open.  Then  a  small,  slightly  stooped  man,  whom  I
don't  recognize,  comes  in  and  grabs  the  doctor's  arm,
crying, "No! This isn't necessary!" Trusting in my dream,
I  decided to switch hospitals,  although this meant going
