Dream Revelations: Dream Interpret Transform

By Jana Sharaf

The book aims to create an easy structure to interpret dreams, but dreams are a state of consciousness that is in continuous evolvement. It is therefore important to know that the ideas in this book are definitive tools for dream interpretation but will need your practice to enable you in becoming a dream interpreter for yourself and others.

As dreams are a state of consciousness, dreams will continuously change and your identification with them changes; hence it is important to handle complex paradoxes with ease and a personalised approach.

The book has taken on a difficult task of comparing spiritual, religious teaching and belief in order to bridge them together in a simple, approachable way. Hence some terms have been used interchangeably.

Infinite intelligence, supernal wisdom, supernal guidance, and infinite wisdom, divine all refer to types of manifested energy generated from what is most commonly known as God.

Abrahamic philosophy refers to all studies, discoveries, tools, practices, philosophy stemming from Abraham, whose main philosophy describes the unity underlying everything in our existence. This philosophy is the foundation of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hermetic, and all the branches that came from that.

C. G Jung teachings have been used extensively to support the methods and techniques used for understanding dreams and interpreting them.

Welcome

Firstly, I wish to thank you for giving me a chance to share with you the miracle of dreams.

We as humans take this capability for granted and the few of us who manage to follow our dreams create fulfilling lives for ourselves and our communities.

So what is the truth behind dreams? It seems that a lot of books exist on this topic from dream dictionaries to the science of the mind, but very few people have delved into ancient wisdom and mysticism to truly discover what a dream is. Even fewer have developed ways of receiving guidance through dreams or created simple tools for individuals to interpret dreams.

We all dream, there is no exception and ALL our dreams have messages, warnings and guidance. I urge every reader of this book not to take dreams for granted.

Throughout history, our ancestors, our rulers and visionaries mostly spoke to God through their dreams. Examples include, Jacob, Joseph, Pharaoh, Stephanie Myer, Singer (the invention of the sewing machine), the double helix DNA discovery etc.

Dreams have shaped humanity as it is today. Dreams are responsible for Noble Prices, discovery of many of the medical miracles, the pursuit of power and invention, the power behind many political movements and all Abrahamic religions are based on Prophets that FOLLOWED guidance through their dreams.

So why give less importance to your own dreams?

It is hard to believe this notion in the 21st century but dreams and dream interpretation are still only done

by psycho analysts, therapists, clergy men such as gurus,

or priests.

People who use dream dictionaries will soon give up due to the use of stagnant symbols that have inconsistent interpretations. After a while of not understanding our dreams we would place the dictionary on a shelf and go back to living life in a blind manner.

From the start I want to highlight a very important message that I cannot stress enough: dreams are NOT an indicator that a person is spiritual. According to Sigmund Freudian, dreams in 85% of humans are not indicators of the future. Dreams are mostly an indicator of inner tunings that need to be experienced and examined. Through carefully being committed to addressing your ‘inner and outer reality’ you come to understand more the Divinity that you are, thus shaping your future. So now you will ask, what exactly are dreams and how is this book different from any other book on the market?

Dream Revelations offers you a simple mechanism to look into the essence and core of dreams, and it gives you practical tools to interpret them. In addition, it prepares you to look at what customized message you are receiving from the divine channels and how to further enhance this skill. If I am to summarize the objective of this book in one sentence: it provides tools to interpret dreams and receive guidance messages.

This book aims to cover the following topics:

• Understanding the core and essence of dreams through modern psychology and Abrahamic philosophy

• Providing you the ability to interpret your own dreams and helping you to identify your purpose in life

• Providing you the ability to receive guidance and

alternative perspectives in all areas of life

• Providing you tools to overcome insomnia and anxiety

• Providing you tools for lucid dreaming

• Providing tools for overcoming nightmares

I started delving into the world of dreams when I was a child. I was first introduced to guidance dreams by a friend. Every night I would pray the prayer of guidance dreams to find out what I next needed to do in my ever and fast changing life. For the past 10 years I have been dreaming every night.

Eventually people started asking me to do the guidance dreams for them. In religious circles this was very controversial as it is considered a method of fortune telling. I remember while praying fearing that what I was doing was wrong, but maintained a strong belief that God would not give me an answer if I had the wrong intention.

Before I continue, I should first give clarification on what is meant by ‘guidance’ dream. A guidance dream is a prayer performed before sleeping asking if a decision is right or wrong. The question is phrased in a way that looks at the outcome of your dilemma. The guidance dream (or Istighara) was originally taught to me by a Muslim, but it exists across many spiritual and religious circles.

With time the guidance dreams indicated things which are impossible for me to know by any other means.

I even developed the ability to do guidance dreams without being asked a specific question. My friends would think up the question and I would dream the answer.

Doing the guidance dreams on a regular basis started to affect my studies: I became completely immersed in dreaming, healing, alternative medicine and philosophy. At this stage I had a room full of books ranging from Feng Shui to Chinese healing, massage etc.

My studies, sleep patterns and social life with fellow students took a serious hit. From the most popular girl in Oxford, I was now locked away in a house doing ‘weird stuff’. It was immediately after graduation that I was severely tested; My best friend took away all my dream dictionaries and books on alternative healing, meditations and visualization. By the age of 21 I had also moved countries and was again uprooted leaving behind all the references of everything I knew.

This severely challenged my ability to rely on knowledge as I no longer had reference books, I no longer had prediction charts and most importantly I no longer had dictionaries to tell me what things meant. On the other hand this experience opened the
