Emotional Intelligence

Everyone has the ability to remember and understand their dreams, it does not require specific skills or study (Dream pp). However, it is very important to keep a notebook or tape recorder by the bedside so that upon awakening, so that one can immediately journal everything that is remembered about the dream (Dream pp). Then try to identify the main theme or concept of the dream and try to match that theme or concept to a specific area of one's personal life (Dream pp).

Dreaming is considered the most outstanding of the non-ordinary conscious states (Hypnosis Psy pp). Hypno-therapists realize the value of dreams as a way of revealing information from the subconscious mind and venting blockages and frustrations as therapeutic change occurs (Betchley pp). A lesser known but highly effective aspect of dreaming is "lucid dreaming," where an individual is aware that they are dreaming while they are dreaming (Betchley pp).
