for sharing your dream experiences with me.
glyph%20to%20replace%20section%20break%20asterisks.psdI personally interviewed all but a small number of these contributors,
and have changed their names when requested.
Many dreams were collected as I travelled on an International Lecture Tour.
Percentage of Dream Time in Sleep
Babies spend 45% to 65%
18 to 30 year olds, 20% to 25%
30 to 50 year olds, 18% to 25%
50 years plus, 13% to 18%
It is extremely unusual for a person
to dream less that 15% or more than 30%
of their sleep time as a young adult.
glyph%20to%20replace%20section%20break%20asterisks.psdDreamland. There really is such a place, and it has a map of statistics to prove its existence. Research has established that we spend 20% of our total sleep time in a dream state …
dreaming four to five times each night. For most of us, this means that we dream approximately one and a half hours of each sleep period, on the average spending four years of our lifetime in a dream state. By age 70 we have spent twenty or more years sleeping. This figure is based on the belief that we spend close to a third of our life in sleep. These percentages were compiled through monitoring people during sleep. When asleep, one’s eyelashes flicker for on-and-off periods of time. A dream state is signalled through this Rapid Eye Motion which is referred to as REM, therefore allowing these periods of dream sleep to be timed and categorized.
Had you ever dreamt that you dream that much!
Preface
You will not believe what I dreamt,
they will say. I dreamt that, and it happened just the way that I dreamt it would.
There is no obvious or apparent order with these accurate dreams. They deny any rule of content or timing. In particular the timing. That the dream content is to definitely become reality, is know to these dreamers when they wake up, however, when it will happen, is a mystery to all of them.
The dreams collected here vary widely, with these accurate dreams all falling within one of these eight categories;
1. Dreams of Self where the dreamer is the major focus of the dream scenario, it’s all about them,
2. Dreams of Others where the dreamer is not in the dream story at all, just watching something unfold,
3. Political Dreams had by non-political people who are shocked to read their dream in the paper or see it unfold on the TV,
4. Personal Emotional Dreams this is the dream with the greatest impact on the dreamer, the most vividly remembered,
5. Geographic Dreams these are dreams of locations that the dreamer has either never been to, or heard of before,
6. Apparent Meaningless Dreams flash dreams, disoriented picture sequences that are hard to grasp but give a message to the dreamer nevertheless,
7. Dreams of Warning interpreted correctly, all dreams are telling us something, but not necessarily as a warning, these warnings are to help us deal with an upcoming situation,
8. Dreams Needing Interpretation are camouflaged, but the dreamer upon awakening really knows what the dream was saying and that it will happen. In many cases they choose to ignore or disbelieve it because the situation of the dream is too painful to face. For example, accidents, disasters, health problems, or even death.
But whatever the dream content, happy, sad, inspirational, a warning or informative, all of these dreamers knew that their dream would come true. That fact alone, worried as many dreamers as it pleased.
glyph%20to%20replace%20section%20break%20asterisks.psdMany whose dreams are here in this book have had more than one dream that has come true. Some have only had the one that they have shared with me, and in several cases these dreams were remembered for years because of the impact it had on the dreamer. All of the dreamers though have suffered through the upset of being laughed at, humiliated or ridiculed, when they have shared their true dreams with others. They have even had people fear them because of their dream accuracy. So much so that many of them keep their dreams to themselves now. This problem is probably best expressed through these paragraphs from some of their letters and e-mails that I received while researching for this book;
…Comrie, I cannot express in words how thrilled I am to finally have someone to write to about my dreams. I have been carrying around some dreams that have come true for years, and have had so many people laugh, or become angry with me, that I gave up talking about them and keep them to myself now. Finally, I am able to tell someone who will believe me and understand. Thanks, Jacqui.
…my Grandmother has always encouraged me to believe in my dreams. She told me ever since I was young, that we all had the ability to dream, we just had to practice believing it. As I get older, it gets stronger. I remember my dreams more now. I am able to make sense out of them more often, and when they come true I am not surprised anymore. Jani.
…by the way 98% of my dreams come true. I hold them as a gift of the future. I have had this gift since I was a child. It was after a bad car accident that I picked up some amazing qualities, and it has been hard for me to explain to anyone that I can now control my dreams. Comrie, you are the answer to my prayers for someone to talk to about this. Brenda.
…somehow writing this to you has made me feel better, to know that someone believes me, believes that I did not dream these things up, these dreams that come true. Albert.
…it is important to myself to know that I am not alone in having these prophetic dreams. Thank you Comrie for giving people like myself, the opportunity to share in dream telling through your book, Marion.
These are but a few samples, however the overall consensus was that people in general seemed to feel that they were thought of as weird by others. This troubled most of them, and that is a shame. Guilt feelings entered when death dreams did actually happen. Often the dreamer wonders if they could somehow have stopped the dreaded thing from happening. And they worried a lot over who they should tell.
Even when they shared their dreams of a happy nature friends shunned them, because people didn’t believe that they were going to win the lottery,
or get the perfect job,
or build the home of their dreams.
What sceptics we are by nature … however, after reading of these many Dreams That Came True we may change our minds about this whole dreaming thing …

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
That the brain is active during sleep is now widely accepted as fact. So too is the belief that the left hemisphere of the brain is designated to perform rational thinking functions, while the right hemisphere relates to the intuitive, emotional, and creative thought forms.
Our Western culture emphasizes rationality, while the Eastern culture leans toward intuition, yet both functions are important to be whole. We need both halves of our brain. By rationally using our awake mind to shape our dream life, and through accepting and using the creative products of our dream state in our waking life, we are literally integrating the powers of our mind. To achieve that of itself may be Beyond Our Wildest Dreams.
Actually, thinking about dreams at all, is a way out thought. To know that while we are sound asleep, and apparently innocent of manifesting thought, that our brain cells can carry on beautifully without us, is awesome. They create images, sounds, and more surprisingly, our brain cells in our sleep without our apparent help, can conjure up emotions that are sincerely and deeply felt.
We not only feel those fears and emotions while we are asleep … we wake up and hold the inner panic of this movie in our head. On the surface, knowingly, we had absolutely no input into the scenes of the distorted dream story that is reeling through our mind, causing our emotional buttons to react. Of itself, that too is almost beyond belief, that it can happen. But it does. Dreamers know that.
So, who then is the producer of these dreams that we have? If we say that we did not do it … we did not think of that scene beforehand, to be played through our mind, in our sleep, then who did? Could we speculate that while in a dream state, the energy of our brain, our mind our memory, is somewhere else? That it has taken temporary leave of our sleeping form for a few moments of time, to mingle in another space gathering our dream images there?
Doubtful. It would be more accurate to say that we are the creator of our own dream pictures. The combination of our left brain’s rational performance, and the right brain’s intuitional input, is the place where our subconscious lives and conducts our dream play.
I do believe however, that the Cosmic Mind, where all memory lives, is attached magnetically to the manifested thought process of each individual. What better time for the cosmic magnetism to filter into our brain waves than when the keeper of the brain has relaxed its hold through the giving over to a dream state.
This then brings us to ask the question, Why do we dream at all?
Debate on this question usually boils down to two points. Some argue that dreams are the offshoot of biological chemicals that are released and spent, through the venue of dreams that rids each person of a mental type of excess garbage. Like clearing off old computer messages.
Others quite vehemently, believe that the function of dreaming is not only perfectly normal, but it is an additional extension to the quality of the performance of one’s life. Both are right. It takes both of these functions for a dream to be expressed. The awareness of the need to improve the quality of life is achieved by thought. Thoughts need a vehicle to manifest, and that is where the technical biological juices enter and become pictures in our mind in our sleep.
As to what extent we have control over this, total is the only retort, once we learn how. So back to the question of why do we dream at all? The reply logically, seems to be that dreams are a part and portion of a normal human life. Just because one might not remember that they were dreaming is not sufficient proof that they indeed do not dream. To the contrary. Researchers have isolated large groups of volunteers for the further study of why we dream. They used people who do remember their dreams, and, those who have no recollection of ever having dreamt at all.
In that laboratory program, these subjects slept. Each time throughout the night, that the sleeper’s eyes would twitch in the Rapid Eye Motion of the REM state that signals dreams are in progress, the attending researchers would shake the person just enough to bring them out of their REM state. They would not necessarily waken them, merely interfere enough to stop them from entering REM, therefore stopping them from entering their dream world. This was repeated continually throughout the night for many nights in a row to all of the laboratory sleepers.
One of the most outstanding and interesting things that came from this experiment was rather unexpected at the time. What could be expected would be that the volunteer sleepers for this project, quite naturally, might feel tired from so many sleep interruptions. Tired thus irritable.
Yes, that did happen. That is true. Everyone became very irritable with no difference between the two types of subjects, those who remembered their dreams and those who did not. However the more interesting outcome that came through the experiment was the technical diagnosis. It led the researchers to the realization that a form of insanity began to penetrate the volunteers which had been caused by the constant interference in their sleep process that disallowed them a REM state. Which through further research of a highly technical nature, concluded that one of the principle elements of a normal and sane individual, is to be allowed to experience un-interrupted REM dream-sleep on a regular basis.
Quite simply put, to sleep, to dream, to enter a REM state, was found to be one of the pertinent conditions of a well balanced being. That is why we dream.
Medical practitioners tell us that we need a percentage of hours of sleep each 24 hour period. This is in direct reference to the knowledge that sleep brings REM, and that REM in turn brings dreams to the dreamer whether they remember or recognize it or not. This series of events during our nocturnal hours is of the greatest importance to the continuing quality of our life … our attitude and performance level. With this realization comes the humbling blow of not only being aware of how much more there is that we have to learn, but on a more personal level, how much more there is that we do not realize we control.
Dream control is a massive responsibility. If we delve into that a little deeper, and on a more esoteric level, we could almost liken our mind to a coin. The one side we can see at a time we relate to. It’s heads or it’s tails. Same with, now we are awake … flip … now we are asleep. In both cases we can recognize the difference.
Of course it is not that simple. However you look at it, the two sides of the coin still makes one coin. Perhaps awake and asleep are one if we approach it from another perspective?
Just to make a point here, let us pretend that awake and asleep are the same thing to our brain. That our brain does not differentiate. Maybe it could even be suggested further that the left rational thinking side of our brain relates to our awake moments, and that the right intuitive and creative thinking side of our brain responds to the dream state, but that in actuality the brain as a whole does not really recognize the difference. Remember in this pretend example, that to the total function of the brain, it does not care whether we are awake or asleep.
Awake or asleep it makes no difference, the brain has a job to do. It has to let us use it to think our way through our life with no stipulations for the thoughts coming only from an awake mind. There is no closing time. Brain open 24 hours a day.
Now suppose that thoughts are put in motion through the use of the brain at the time we are awake. We think a thought, store it in the memory of our mind through the vehicle of our brain … then fall asleep. Where does the thought go?
Now we are asleep. We dream pictures. We respond emotionally to the pictures that we see in our dream, and we react with dream thoughts … then we wake up. Where do those thoughts go?
Do the thoughts that we think while we are awake, stay, hold, in some kind of a vacuum during the time that we are sleeping? The same for dream thoughts, do they wait for us to next be in a dream state to resurface? I think not. If that were the case, we would be more like two people, two coins, living within the shift work of one brain. Instead, these thoughts have a pattern of flowing one to the other, back and forth. Asleep and awake.
And all of this brings us to ask then, For what purpose are these dreams such a mystery?
There are two possible answers to that. We, the human race, have come such a long way that many mysteries have already been solved, and so too will the mystique of dreams, when the time is right. Secondly, and this blends with the first, would we understand the workings of our dreams upon our awake lives without first having evolved to this awareness level?
Maybe I could use another example here. Suppose that someone from one of the hill tribes deep in a far away land, who lives a pure life of simplicity, minus material objects, well suppose that this person saw a microwave oven, a telephone, or a complex computer system in their dreams. Never having seen or even heard of these things before, what might they think of that dream?
Who knows really because this is an example, however we could certainly quite safely speculate that they would not understand what the object was at all. Not yet. Also, when they would try to explain their dream to other tribe members, they could experience great difficulty. They would not understand the physical symbolic object, nor would they be able to grasp the object of the intent of the dream mind. Perhaps they would even be ridiculed or laughed at when they describe ‘the bright red telephone that is ringing’ in their dream.
It may well be argued that their mind would never create those dream pictures for them, because their mind does not know of them in the first place to conjure them up in their dream world, but that is not necessarily so. There are examples of artists painting things they saw in their dreams that they had never seen before. Therefore, dream pictures can well be the product of foreign input.
There are things, not necessarily visual objects, that we in the more populated and materialistic areas of the world, may dream about and upon awakening not understand at all, and also find quite difficult to reason why, to comprehend, or to tell our friends. And especially when the dream we had comes true, had nothing to do with us personally, or is taking place way off in another country that we barely have heard about let alone visited. It is all the harder for us to accept these foreign dreams.
But the dream mind seems to want to help us through some sort of preparation, like an advance notice, that the awake mind is not always in tune with, or on the same wave length, or vibration of awareness. So, the dream help may go to waste … or it may keep repeating until we finally grasp its significance.
We do know that all dreams are futuristic in nature. That even though the dream scene is of something from long ago, the message will be experienced in the future. And we also know that in dream interpretation, it is the emotion related to the scene that is the dream message, but this takes a lot of time to study as each individual may have different trigger points.
When we don’t grasp the significance of a dream message, the dream mind might well be saying, Accept my function in your life … don’t close me out, I am on your side and I want to help prepare you.
The aim here is to work as one. Which brings us back to control. With mental control
