A Dream about a Health Problem

In my latest book, The Inner Guru: Dreams Reveal Your Future, I describe a brief dream in which an angelic presence came to me and said George (not his real name) has a serious heart problem. After the dream, I asked a relative about the condition of George’s heart and I was told his heart was fine. The relative was not aware of any issues with his heart. 

Now, several months later, this same person told me that George recently went to a surgical office for a simple procedure unrelated to his heart and was immediately sent to see a heart specialist. He has a serious problem with his heart. I should add here that I did not take any direct action after the dream because George was already under a doctor's care, and I thought that George just wasn't sharing information about his condition.

The subconscious is constantly monitoring your health and through telepathy receiving information about the health of family and friends. This is one of the important benefits of interpreting your dreams. You can discover incipient health problems before they become critical and potentially beyond treatment.

Some people are afraid of what they may see in a dream, so they block out their dreams. They don't want to hear about anything related to dreams. Of course, this does not change anything; it simply means that an early warning is no longer available and when the problem is finally discovered, it may be too late to treat it.

Book Update

My latest book, The Inner Guru: Dreams Reveal Your Future, is now available on Amazon.com as a Kindle book. The print version should be available in a few weeks.

In The Inner Guru: Dreams Reveal Your Future, I greatly expand on my experience with dreams. This book treats dreams by category with unique insights provided and supported by concrete examples from my own life. Many new dream examples are given, including some prophetic dreams, which are not included in his earlier work. Also, throughout this book I have included exercises that will help the reader make the concepts personal and experience the power of dreams in his or her own life.

The Real Power of Dreams

Many people would like to know the following: How can I get rich fast or how can I find the perfect job or partner? So when they hear that dreams can provide guidance for their lives, these are often the first questions that they ask.

I do not promise instant riches or an easy path to the ideal job or partner. I do not have answers for those with the fast-food mentality. However, I do have answers for those both willing to change and willing do some work.

I spend considerable effort in my books and posts to show someone the operation and value of dream guidance through numerous examples. I provide a path forward to help you unlock the power of your dreams. My focus is spiritual in nature, but financial help and the road to a better job or the right partner may be provided to someone with those concerns. However, the answers often require time to materialize, and the seeker must do the work required to understand and apply the guidance from his or her dreams. And sometimes the guidance may take the seeker in a completely unexpected direction.

Answers for our problems are usually not hidden; they are hidden to us because we have blind spots and often cannot see what is right in front of us. The dreams occur to remind us of what we are overlooking and help focus our attention.

The person seeking the right partner may already know the person but just never looked at the person in that way before. And the right job may also be close by, but may involve a different way of looking at a particular opportunity.

However, sometimes great effort is required to get a better job. If the job seeker needs more education, that may be the message in one or more dreams. The education process may take several years, so results are not instantaneous. But without the effort, in several years the person will still wonder why he or she can't get a better job.

I think everyone would like to be warned of an impending natural disaster like an earthquake or flood. And a disaster such as a crash in the stock market may be equally important to many. Dreams can and do provide such warnings, but dreams of this type represent a small percentage of all your dreams.

Edgar Cayce is often depicted as a twentieth-century prophet with the focus on his predictions of "earth changes." Those readings actually represent a small percentage, or less than .15 percent, of his more than 14,000 readings (see Contemporary Cayce by Kevin J. Todeschi and Henry Reed). Thousands of people benefited from his heath readings, and in some cases, their lives were saved by the readings. Helping people was the real focus of the readings.

Likewise, your dreams occur for your benefit. The real focus of your dreams is the restoration of your wholeness, so dreams of "earth changes" are likely to be small in number. Do not only focus on the few dramatic dreams of this type and assume everything else is fine. The real power of your dreams is found in guidance for your daily concerns, often dealing with issues of not much importance to others.

The daily guidance from your dreams tries to keep your life in balance and help you recognize and focus on worthy activities. The guidance helps keep your life growing and evolving in a positive way so you can fulfill your soul’s destiny.

A Dream about a Stock Market Crash

I dreamed I was looking at a structure that appeared to be a prism of some kind. Through a window, I could see information displayed. A voice said, “The stock market will crash.” A noise emanated from the prism as some kind of processing seemed to be taking place. Then an image came into focus through the window with the number 2005, which I understood to be the year 2005. The dream continued with a personal message for me and then abruptly ended.

I have waited over two weeks to post this because I wanted to reflect on it and see if I received any related dreams. I don’t know if this dream is literal, so I am not predicting a stock market crash. However, an inflated stock market with numerous warning signs suggests that a crash could certainly occur in the not too distant future. This dream coupled with the warning dream I had late last year posted on January 5, 2016, suggests to me the need for real caution.

I have thought about what the number 2005 might represent in the dream. One possibility, since the year 2005 displayed after the message, is that the market would return to 2005 levels, which could happen in a crash.

Many financial experts are now expressing concern about the level of the stock market given a sluggish economy and poor earnings. And events around the world have only added to the risk. If you are invested and concerned, you should speak to a financial adviser. There are ways to minimize risk even if you stay invested.

In the post on January 5, I mentioned a second dream concerning the unemployment rate. I saw it bottoming and then starting a steep rise. If we are at the bottom and my dream is literal, then we should start to see an increase in the unemployment rate. Actually, last month there was a slight increase, despite the good job numbers. I thought it would start to move higher earlier in the year, which didn’t happen. However, that was speculation on my part; no timetable was given in the dream.

From time to time, like now, I post dreams that I think might possibly be about events that could be broader in scope than about my family and me. Unfortunately, a crash in the stock market will not just affect those with investments; the broader economy could be severely degraded with resulting job losses as people pull back on spending.

I hope that my dream is not literal. I don’t want to see the economic chaos that would result with the associated pain many would feel, including family and friends. However, I fear that the world’s hunger for debt has created a situation from which there may be no escape.

A Dream about Rebuilding a Devastated Area

In the evening of the day before the occurrence of the following dream, I was reflecting on what the remainder of the year would bring. I wondered if any major events would occur that might affect the economy.

On 4/28/2016, I dreamed I heard loud noises from outside my villa. I went to a window and viewed a large area that included some tall buildings. Near the buildings was an area that appeared to have been devastated. A bridge had collapsed and roads were caved in or portions had spiked upward. The noises I heard were due to derricks and large earth moving vehicles at work. I walked outside and proceeded down a road. The road abruptly ended where the remainder had collapsed. The part I stood on began to move and I quickly retreated thinking it was not safe.

I don’t know what occurred. I was seeing the aftermath of something, and judging by the destruction, it appeared to be the result of an earthquake. The cleanup was underway. No location was given, but it appeared to be near a large city. 

Dreams of this nature often are about psychological events in the life of the dreamer or reflect on non-physical upheavals on a broader level. And this could be the case for this one as well. I am posting this dream because of increased earthquake activity in several areas of the country and a recent warning from USGS about the increased risk of a large quake in southern California in the future.

A Dream about Extraterrestrial Life

The night before last, I had an interesting dream about extraterrestrial Life. It was one of four dreams recalled in the morning and does not appear to relate to the other three.

In the dream, I was standing near a newsstand. I looked over at the assortment of magazines and newspapers stacked on the stand. All of the cover pages were similar and “shouted” out the existence of extraterrestrial life. Various pictures were shown, including the supposed remains of an alien. The headlines all highlighted the word extraterrestrial or alien. The story was the lead on every publication and dominated the news.

Now extraterrestrial life is not a subject in which I have any particular interest. I am aware of the chatter on the Internet concerning the subject, and many are still hopeful of finding evidence for life elsewhere in the universe. However, this was more than evidence for some type of organic life; the publications indicated that evidence existed for visits by alien life forms at some previous time in the earth’s history. And this evidence was now released by the government.

There are probably three main possibilities for the meaning of this dream: symbolic, literal, and literal incorporation of a movie or TV program. Since dreams are not normally literal, at least in every aspect, it is likely that my subconscious just fabricated my dream experience by using alien lifeforms to symbolize something else. If I can understand what they symbolize, then I can begin to unravel the meaning of the dream. If the dream is precognitive, perhaps something will dominate the news that is like a story of extraterrestrial life in some way. The deciphering of the dream is finding the correct association.

The second possibility is that some startling revelation will be made about extraterrestrial life that dominates the news. The only reason I consider this as a possibility is the high degree of correlation between my dreams and actual events that later occur.

The third possibility is that I will watch a TV program or movie has the theme I encountered in the dream. The newsstand in the dream suggests the news media will be involved in some way. Yesterday I did have an experience with TV that may relate to the dream. I watched the Charlie Rose hour, which consisted of a roundtable discussion by various media experts on the current front-runners in the primaries for the presidential nomination. Much of the discussion centered on Donald Trump, who seemed to be regarded as unlike any other politician. The expression he is from another planet might be an apt description of their view. 

My purpose in presenting this dream is to provide insight into how I undertake the interpretation of a puzzling dream. I consider all the possibilities, and often I do not know which one is correct until some later event occurs. Sometimes the associations in the dream become obvious as I reflect on the past day or experience the events of the current day.
