Can dreams provide us with information to improve our physical health?
Here are the major findings…
Three types of Physical Health Related Dreams were identified: Insight Healing Dreams, Prescriptive Healing Dreams & Experiential Healing Dreams.
- Insight Healing Dreams provided the dreamer with some insight with respect to their physical illness, helping to clarify the nature of the condition.
- Prescriptive Healing Dreams provided the dreamer with an actual prescription to be followed in waking life. Those who followed their dream prescriptions reported significant benefits in terms of symptom reduction.
- Experiential Healing Dreams provided the dreamer with some form of healing experience within the dream state itself that may or may not have correlated with any improvement in their physical condition.
Additionally, here are some secondary discoveries…
- The most common theme to emerge from the dream data spanning all three categories of healing dreams were food-related dreams implying that nutrition is the front line of medicine as far as the human psyche is concerned.
- Comparing the efficacy of lucid dream healing versus non-lucid dream healing, it was discovered that the latter was more effective for treating chronic health conditions as they are far more frequent and do not require a steep learning curve.
