Electric Dreams Vol 5.7 August 1998
Editors' Notes
Richard Wilkerson rcwilk@dreamgate.com
Dreams, what good are they?
We have known for some time that they are quite useful to interpreters who explore them for psychological and spiritual purposes.
For several years, Nancy Bloom has been helping people explore dreams for personal growth and awareness and lends to Electric Dreams this month some selections from her column, Watch Your Dreams.
We also know that a full theory of the mind must take them into account. But
can dream science offer dreamwork any help? Investigate this area in my articles Dream Science and Dreamwork: Friends or Foes?
But do dreams offer something beyond these usual approaches?
In this issue Janice Baylis explores the Practical side of dreaming. Take a trip into the world of dreams as it relates to help with health and safety, finances, career, creativity, interpersonal relationships and personality growth.
In our attempts to make use of dreams, are we missing the most exciting potential of all, the release of our magical child? Linda Magallon gives us direction in turning dreaming into an art form that develops and transcends normative dreaming and dreamwork in The Liberation of the Creative Spirit.
