Every night we drift into another world. Where do we go? What do our dreams mean? Why do we dream? What is lucid dreaming? Can we steer our dreams? These and other questions have been plaguing humanity for centuries. Dreaming has been the subject of myth and speculation, driving mysteries that have stimulated our wildest imaginations. Yet there is now some solid scientific research about dreaming that helps answer many of these questions. Here the author compiles the evidence, together with thousands of years of dream application to uncover the real nature of dreaming and its link with our personal lives, our mental health and our physical health. This is combined with practical information to help us understand our dreams and utilize our dreams to improve our waking lives. Please note that unlike many published books, reviews for this book are not paid-for, sought after with quid quo pro nor otherwise induced by the publisher or author. Any review - though very appreciated - has been given voluntarily. HOW TO READ THIS BOOKYou now have in front of you one of the most comprehensive investigations regarding this topic from a natural perspective. This investigation involved a deep dive into the scientific research combined with clinical experience and a background in traditional medicines of the world. Scientific studies that were accepted and utilized in this investigation were peer-reviewed and published in prestigious scientific journals. A careful analysis of each study and its application to practical knowledge was conducted in order for the research to be included in this investigation. This contrasts to many natural health texts today that propound various unproven and anecdotal techniques and strategies. But unfortunately, it can also replace some of the good-feel stories that can accompany anecdotal information. This book was put together to provide the conclusions of this investigation in two layers. The first layer contains a general conclusion and practical understanding of the research. This is typically found in an introductory paragraph or two at the beginning of each topic and often also at the very end of that topic. Underneath and between these are the specific scientific studies that prove that general thesis offered. These scientific studies have been curated and simplified to the extent possible to explain their usefulness and application. But at the same time, the information can become tedious for the average reader. Therefore, if you are not that interested in reading the details of all the research, I would advise you to read the introduction and conclusion to each topic, and simply skim through the scientific research. If you decide you want to know more about this particular area, you can wade through the details of the research. Otherwise, you can glean an understanding of this topic in a fraction of the time and leave the remainder for reference. Near the end of the book you will also find some concluding remarks about this information. This could be useful to understand the overarching messages of the text.
