Modern research, too. has revealed the healing nature of dreams. Within a couple of weeks, the immune system weakens and there is greater proneness to illness and fatigue. The power of dreams is not limited to just this. Dreams are altered states of consciousness in which we transcend space and time as we know them, states in which such phenomena as clairvoyance and prognostication occur. These phenomena cannot be explained by linear cause and effect, they are consistent with Quantum Physics and Chaos Theory.
Deep healing is a sensory phenomenon and so are dreams.
Our senses let us know when we are sick. Senses show us we are well. Mind and intellect can't do it. As this energy filters to the surface its shape is in turn further refined and shaped by the structures in the mind and ego until it appears as the remembered dream. But just as it is these consciousness structures of the psyche and mind that shape the essence of our character and personality and indeed also somatic essences, the shape and content of the remembered dream, too, is determined by these consciousness structures.
