Several months after he started dreaming, Herb received some of the answers to questions he held at the time of his mother’s death. Did his mother have a message for him? Where had she gone? The veil between this life and the next was swept away in a dream: I meet my mother as a young woman on a beautiful campus of higher learning, where there is always light. She is playing a violin here in a symphonic orchestra. She tells me that my ability will surpass my hopes and that my dreams will be a large part of the revelation of knowledge which will come through my higher self.

"I will continue to record dreams the rest of my life," he affirms, "because they offer me the best personal and spiritual guidance available, and also because through dreaming I find I can help other people. Some of the more traumatic dreams keep me awake for a short time," he muses, "but after recording them, I am soon back to sleep anyway. Frequently I step into the shoes of others in dreams and then I see and feel as they do. When the person I am dreaming about is involved in an accident or some type of mishap,  the dream is traumatic for  me,  since
