Healing Dreams...

There's a few books out on dreams that heal - in one way or another. I was just wondering if anyone has any techniques or experiences with this whether you forced it or it just happened...

Basically I've heard you can ask for it...whatever the healing is...follow a light source of healing with your intent, stuff like that...or simply ask what you can do in waking life to 'fix' yourself...and intend right then on remembering upon awakening....

I've never had this happen, but I know we all have something we'd like healed....any ideas, experiences, etc.?

Haven't had an experience with healing yet (or an ld for that matter), but I've read somewhere that you can use your lds for a more powerful method of meditation. Probably because they feel very real and alive, so it should make you have more belief that you'll achieving your goal (in reality too).

Two common approaches to healing dreams are incubation and visualization.

Dream incubation does not require lucidity. You focus repeatedly on requesting a healing dream (could be from specific divinity, or healer, or your subconscious). You then wait for healing dream to happen.

In visualization, once you become lucid you visualize healing of your illness. Can also visualize healing light or energy flowing through your whole body.

One book is The Healing Power of Dreams by Patricia Garfield.
Personally I prefer her book Creative Dreaming.

I think there's a book actually called Healing Dreams, but I don't think it shows you how, it just lists a ton of examples.

Yeah, I had one of these. Both of my shoulders, at the joint, had been hurting for several days. When I would feel the pain, I wouldn't think "What is wrong with me?!" and feel fear, I would think "I'm not worried about it, it'll go away. It's odd though, I haven't done anything to hurt it." When I had the dream, I had no control. My arms were missing and I saw my shoulder balls that fit in the socket were inflamed, and that's all I remember. The whole time seeing this I was thinking, "Oh, so that's what was wrong." It was like this was being shown to me, and something was being "done". All I know is that when I woke up, I haven't felt the excruciating pain since. This dream was unlike the normal dreams. I was looking at my body, from outside my body, for some odd reason though, I knew that the body was me. I also had a dream where my head, and neck were missing, and I was shaking my body upside down amazed at all the water that was pouring out. I still don't understand this one? I had a dream that my friend who has asthma, walked up to me, with his entire chest cut in half and spread open like a door. Looking at him in horror, I watched as he took a knife and carved this yellow puss shit off his lungs. Haven't talked to him since though. I don't even know if I would call the "healing dream" I had, even a dream. It was more like a "vision". I guess (and would hope) that it could be repeated, and long as whatever was ailing you, gave you no fear, and you had confidence, that it would be dealt with and go away. The last thing you want to do is to be scared and worry about it all the time, and all day. It will only get worse if you look at it this way. Have confidence, dam a ailment, and a sickness.
