gettin’ hitched!
Hi Carol – It sounds to me as though this dream is not entirely unpleasant for you… Perhaps you wouldn’t mind marrying this man? I think you two will get married if you both, in your waking lives, choose to do so. I do think your dream is a good sign, however, in that direction. […]
two basic dreams
I’m really enjoying your book “Stop Sleeping Through Your Dreams.” I believe it’s the best I’ve seen on the subject. You explore other related aspects of consciousness more deeply than most. I have found there are 2 basic kinds of dreams (not counting daydreaming). The sleeping dream, which is what most think is the only […]
fascination
I have always been fascinated by dreams and the power they have in our lives and especially with lucid dreaming. I have gotten to the point in some of my dreams where I analyze them as I dream them. My dreams are chock full of archetypal symbols from apple trees in snow, to talking tornadoes, […]

Dear Fascinated: The best way to become a lucid dreamer (to know you are dreaming while still in the dream) is to record your dreams in a diary every day. If you have recurring dreams or often dream of specific symbols – talking tornados, apple trees in snow, etc. – then these symbols are good […]
getting in
I have had this dream, to date, 9 times. This is an explanation of all of them together. Each one was a little different here and there, naturally. They all start out the same. I’m having a party at my house. For some reason I am in the kitchen, when all of my friends are […]
no help
I bumped into my father at a train station far from home. I needed to get home and didn’t have the money for a train ticket. My father had money for his ticket and didn’t seem to offer help, as he didn’t seem to know my situation. The station master checking for tickets on the […]
getting in
Hi Michael – I want you to do an experiment. Next time you have this dream, try to remember, in the dream, that the entire scenario is just a dream and that therefore – the gorilla is just an illusion. The trick is to learn how to use this recurring dream to clue you in […]
help for nightmares
I hope you can help me. I am a very vivid dreamer, and when I am having a very bad dream, either scary or very strange, I can wake myself out of it by saying, “WAKE UP! WAKE UP! YOU ARE ONLY DREAMING!” And I wake myself up, still saying that. I am not complaining; […]
help for nightmares
Hi Mary – You are the envy of nightmare sufferers everywhere! Just when a dream starts to get unbearable, you can wake yourself up — just by repeating the simple mantra, “Wake Up!” in your mind. I know a lot of readers want your secret! Lucid dreams are defined as dreams in which we know […]
i can’t wake up!
I occasionally lucid dream, but what happened a few years ago – about 3 times in a 10 month span – was really disturbing. I consider it a lucid dream because I was asleep (dreaming) but I thought I was awake. My eyes were open and I was up walking around my bedroom seeing everything […]
being chased
I have recurring dreams of being chased… I can hear the footsteps behind me but I wake up before whoever is chasing me catches me. I am so frightened and it seems like the person chasing me gets closer and closer until I can barely run anymore. Then I wake up sometimes screaming and sometimes […]
phone home
I very often dream of my parents who have been deceased for over 50 years. I am always making an attempt to go home to see them, but I can never find a telephone number to call them. This causes me lots of anxiety and I wonder what the connection might be to the present […]
