The dreaming system organizes the images and scenes that appear in your dreams based on the symbolic dream language. All dream images have a meaning, like words. They contain precious messages with guidance, predictions, advice and warnings, in a secret form.

Your brain has a wild side that must not understand these messages, since they protect you from its attacks.

Your instinctive animal side wants to control your behavior, while the wise unconscious mind that regulates the functionalism of your dreaming system tries to save the human and sensible part of your conscience, so that you may become always more intelligent and sensitive, instead of being violent and inconsequential like an animal.

This is why your dreaming system is organized based on your emotions and reactions. The unconscious psychology guides you by correcting your mistakes, and showing you how to overcome all your traumas and evolve, depending on the way you face the various challenges of life, and on all the dangers you’ll find in your way.

Working like a driver, the dreaming system selects the right information, depending on your needs, so that you may be always helped while fighting against your wild side, and against the cruel world where you live, exposed to dangerous situations, and many hidden threats.

Other times it sends you messages with clues that will help you solve a mystery, or discover the solution for a difficult problem, if this is the help you need.

The information you receive in dreams is not superficial like the information you have when you read newspapers, for example, because it awakens various parts of your brain that need development and live in an atrophied condition. They belong to the anti-conscience, your wild conscience, which didn’t pass through a process of consciousness like your human side. This is why you ignore their existence, while they hide many of your capacities and extraordinary talents.

By following the unconscious psychotherapy through dream messages you learn how to pay attention to all the components of the external reality, not only the ones you prefer, this way giving a chance of evolution to the atrophied parts of your psyche, that could never reach the conscious surface because your conscience refused to give them any importance.

The psychology of dreams increases your consciousness and eliminates the poisonous influence of your violent animal side, while your dreaming system selects the codes that will transmit you the necessary information in a sequence of dream images and scenes that provide you gradual psychotherapy.

Now that you understand how the unconscious mind uses your dreaming system, and now that you know what the basis of the psychology of dreams is, you can evolve completely, without being limited by your animal nature, which refuses to abandon the wild behavior patterns it has inherited.

In order to stop dreaming too much per night and be able to rest when you sleep, without being tortured by constant confused dream images, you have to understand the dream language, so that you may solve all your problems with this knowledge.

At the end you will have a different conception about the importance of dreams. You’ll desire to have many dreams per night and remember all them, and you’ll even be excited to write them down, because they contain precious messages that help you in your life.

As a matter of fact, if you remember many dreams per night you are very lucky! Other people have difficulty in remembering their dreams, or they remember only one or two images.

Right now your dreams are a big problem for you, and you want to get rid of them, mainly because:

- You don’t understand their meaning
- They are usually unpleasant and dangerous
- You feel strange, without knowing why
- You feel irritated when you have a perturbed night instead of resting, only because you keep seeing nightmares or heavy dreams that leave a vivid impression upon you
- You wake up somehow tired and confused after seeing so many impressing scenes and images all night, especially when you see yourself running all the time, and having many dangerous adventures
- You are afraid that something bad might happen to you, imagining that all these dreams are perhaps predicting a sad future

I have already told you from the beginning what the solution to all these problems is: you have to learn the dream language by following my dynamic and simple method of instant dream translation, derived from the complicated method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung, who managed to really decipher the meaning of the symbolism contained in all dream messages. My work proves that he was right, and shows you much more.

I know that you don’t have the intention to care about the meaning of your dreams, and you wanted to simply get rid of them, because you have no time to care about dream interpretation.

However, you have now the privilege of learning how important the dream messages are, and you have also the privilege of being able to immediately learn the dream language with my simplification.

By following the scientific method of dream interpretation you will understand the symbolic meaning of all dream messages, discovering in your own dreams objective information about your environment and the people who are around you, your psychical reality, your mental health, your future, your happiness, the person you love, and everything else that may interest you.

The precious unconscious’ messages will guide you and show you what to do in life, so that you may evolve, and become a wise and self-confident human being.

You’ll stop seeing nightmares, and all kinds of bad dreams, because you will solve all your problems by following the wise lessons of the unconscious mind, your natural doctor and protector.

This way you will have pleasant and interesting dreams, with nice images and scenes, that will give you enthusiasm, and will help you feel strong and optimist when you wake up.

Every human being has a different nature. When he was in a new community, not a few individuals who have difficulty to adapt because he confronted by the diversity of these properties. But do you know that from dozens of human nature, there are actually only 4 basic character of human beings.

Then if all these characters, and how the characteristics…..?

This is 4 Basic of Human Characteristic, based on a psychology book (Personality Traits) which I read several years ago.

Basic first human character is the sanguinis.

Someone who has high confidence, and easily adapt to other people can be said as a sanguinis. Usually someone who has sanguinis character, likes to gather with other such as have party and make lively situation. The appropriate job for sanguinis is marketing or public relation

After sanguinis, second characteristic is melancholy.

As we know the word melancholy likely associated with the “graceful”, then so does the melancholic person. Melancholy is often interpreted as the opposite character sanguinis. Someone who is melancholy tend to prefer solitude and became Sensitive. In this case sensitive is referred is to have a high enough sensitivity to a condition. It is not surprising that a melancholic woman could tear while seeing the movie drama. Whereas in the physical aspect, the oval-faced man could be classified into this category. Furthermore, the appropriate job of melancholy is a doctor or a psychologist.

Third Type of human character, is phlegmatis.

If you always show calmly and peace you could be categorized as individuals who have plegmatis. A plegmatis usually do not like conflict and tend to shy away from conflict. Besides that he also tend to be less expressive. And physically they usually have a round face.

The last characteristic is Koleris,

A leader is usually tend to have the basic character koleris. You remember with Margaret Teacher Not. A woman Prime Minister of Egypt, known for his leadership success. As a prime minister, Mrs. Teacher Margaret could be categorized as a Koleris.

A Koleris is known to have talent as a leader because of firmness in determining that there was something about him. But unfortunately the other side Koleris people have a weakness that is likely to make comment. The most people for this character usually has has a square face / jaw bones strong.

Although fundamentally human character can be divided into 4, but the psychology of the individual may not only consist of 1 character. For further review actually, every individual consists of more than one character. You would never find someone with one character. Usually there are more than 2 character in person. You must also often not heard the word “emotional”. People who are emotionally in psychology tend to have 2 basic character of the opposite melancholic and sanguinis.

The person is usually able to easily demonstrate changes something on his faces. He could cry when facing sad condition on the other hand they will give nice laugh in funny situation. In addition, emotional person will looks more aggressive.

Whatever type of character of human nature, either melancholy, sanguinis, plegmatis, or the melancholy. Of course it has its own weaknesses and strengths. Most importantly perhaps it would be better if we can have a mature understanding of it in everyday social intercourse.

Then approximately, what it contained the basic character within each of us…? For a more objective answer would not hurt you to ask your friends or your closest family.

The enteric nervous system is actually a second brain that many people never knew they had. However, although it has not been scientifically proven and studied up until fairly recently, we have all had the experience of having certain gut feelings about a situation or of having butterflies in the stomach when we are nervous about something. However, although these feelings, along with various digestive symptoms, used to not be taken too seriously, we are now discovering that the cells and tissues in our stomach actually do have “a mind of their own” and that we should begin taking its messages more seriously.

One of the interesting things that were discovered when studying the enteric system was that the same neurotransmitters that are present in the brain take up residence in the gut as well. By learning that chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, and norepinephrine are located within our enteric nervous system, physicians and scientists have had no choice but to acknowledge the fact that there is some actual basis to our gut feelings and reactions that have, up until this point, been fairly hard to explain. These findings have not only validated these “hunches” but they also play an important role in helping us navigate our own lives as well as in helping to treat various disorders of the digestive tract.

However, although our enteric system makes up a second brain, this does not mean that the two structures are functioning as separate entities. In fact, the two brains are linked quite heavily and influence each other in many regards. This means that feeling nervous or being put in a stressful or uncomfortable situation will inevitably cause some bit of intestinal distress and that issues in our stomach can cause a significant amount of mental discomfort as well. Because of the potential implications of the enteric nervous system and what we typically think of as our brain, these two areas of the body need to be studied separately as well as in conjunction with one another.

Although there is still much to learn about our enteric nervous system, we can still use the current research in helping to alleviate intestinal and mental distress, as well as helping us to run our lives more productively. By knowing that our gut feelings are just as valid as any ideas that we come up with logically, we can actually listen to the information being given to us by our enteric system. Alternately, we can use our mind to help heal problems occurring in our digestive tract.

The Inner Critic is the part of you that judges you, demeans you, and pushes you to do things. It lowers your self-esteem and makes you feel bad about yourself. This is one of the most difficult and tenacious issues that people face. The Inner Critic is actually not a single part of you; there can be a number of critical parts that judge you in different ways or for different reasons. In our study of the Inner Critic, we have identified seven types of Inner Critics that people are troubled by.

Perfectionist

This Critic tries to get you to do things perfectly. It has very high standards for behavior, performance, and production. Sometimes it prevents you from creating anything for fear it won’t be good enough. Sometimes it makes you work forever trying to perfect something.

Inner Controller

This Critic tries to control impulsive behavior that might not be good for you or others, or might be dangerous. It tends to be harsh and shaming when you slip up.

Taskmaster

This Critic tries to get you to work hard or be disciplined in order to be successful or to avoid being mediocre. It can cause over-striving and workaholism.

Underminer

This Critic tries to undermine your self-confidence and self-esteem so you won’t take risks that might be dangerous, or so you won’t try and fail, or so you won’t get to big or powerful or visible and therefore be attacked or rejected. It makes you feel worthless.

Destroyer

This Critic makes pervasive attacks on your fundamental self-worth. It shames you deeply. It believes you shouldn’t exist.

Guilt-Tripper

This Critic attacks you for some specific action you have taken or not taken in the past or for repeated behavior that has been harmful to others or violates a deeply-help value. It makes you feel guilty and will never forgive you.

Molder

This Critic tries to get you to fit a certain mold or be a certain way that comes from your family or culture-e.g. caring, aggressive, polite. It attacks you when you aren’t and praises you when you are. If the mold doesn’t fit who you are, it constantly makes you feel inadequate.

Despite the pain they cause, each type of Inner Critic is actually trying to help you or protect you from pain, in its own distorted way. By determining which types of Inner Critics you have, you can more easily get to know them and find out what they are trying to do for you. This makes it possible to develop a cooperative relationship with the Critic and transform it into a positive resource for you.

As more people discover the miraculous power of dream translation according to the scientific method, each one discovers many new applications for the knowledge acquired in the dream messages.

My dynamic method of instant dream translation replaces the old method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung in the last century, showing you immediately and very clearly the meaning of all your dreams, besides showing you how to use this precious knowledge in order to solve all the problems of your life.

Students are using dream interpretation in order to remember their lessons; relatives of mentally ill people are discovering how to become doctors themselves for the person they love, and helping them find the mental health they lost; scientists are using the unconscious’ guidance in order to make many new discoveries; couples are finding what is missing in their relationships, and many other people are using this knowledge in many other ways…

I have no doubt that the entire world will learn how to translate dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation, because the value of the dream messages cannot be calculated. It is too precious!

The most common ways that dream interpretation helps everyone in their daily lives is through:

- Predictions and warnings

- Advice and counselling

- Suggestions and new ideas

- Lessons and explanations

- Spiritual evolution and mind development

You may find many other ways to apply this precious knowledge to your daily life of course, because it is infinite and true.

If you are an artist, dream interpretation will give you inspiration; if you are a marketer, it will show you how to organize your business; if you have a physical pain it will give you relief and health; if you are in a strange situation it will give you information and light.

If you have never cared about your dreams before and you think that you don’t have enough time to write down all your dreams, start writing at least the most impressive ones.

You don’t need too much. A very simple short dream can show you something you couldn’t find alone, and help you save time, money, and much effort looking for a solution.

A unique dream symbol can help you understand what you have to pay attention to in your life, so that you may solve your basic problems.

Start writing down the dreams you remember when you have the time. This will be the beginning of a new life for you!

Dream interpretation according to the scientific method will transform the empty moments of your daily life into very important moments of meditation, evolution, and enlightening discoveries.

This week one of my students sent me three dreams and her translations, because she had a certain problem. She only wanted me to confirm that the translations were correct, and they were. It’s interesting to talk with people who know the dream language!

She told me that she knew that she would find the solution, because of the rain she had seen in a dream, and I felt that she really would find it, since she was understanding the unconscious’ messages.

I didn’t help her much, because she was already being helped by knowing how to translate her dreams alone, and she was on the right path, finding by herself the solution she needed to.

When you are able to immediately translate the meaning of dreams, you understand directly the wise guidance of the unconscious mind, a real genius who knows everything.

The privilege of being able to immediately translate the meaning of the dream language is given to you today only because I continued the complicated and dangerous research Jung began in the human psyche, through dream interpretation. Even though he had stopped his speculations at a certain point, accepting ignorance from that point and on, the unconscious mind was showing me that I should find many answers that he could not find.

Continuing his research, I discovered more, and I related my findings to many discoveries made in many different scientific fields. This is why I could understand the meaning of dreams much better than Jung, my remarkable teacher.

Besides that, I’ve been a literature writer since I was 7 years old. My magical inspiration clearly reflected the influence of the unconscious mind, that gave me the literary talent. This is why the symbolism contained in my own literary works, when translated according to the dream language, showed me very clearly how to exactly translate the meaning of all dream symbols.

I also understood the dream logic better than Jung, by curing many people through instant dream translation during 19 years. Especially the necessity to translate their dreams very fast, and help them understand the unconscious’ guidance so that they could solve their unbearable problems the soonest, obliged me to find out how to translate the dream language without any delay.

Today you have the privilege to learn everything about the meaning of dreams and their healing power in only a few hours, while in order to bring you this knowledge, Carl Jung and I had to work hard for many years.

Today everyone understands immediately what is going wrong and why, what they have to do in order to solve their problems, how to find the answers, etc.

You can have the help of the unconscious mind in your life too!

The power of being able to immediately translate the meaning of all dreams (not only your own) will give you a key to open all doors, besides showing you the real meaning of life, how you can evolve and become a wise human being, and how you can help the entire world find wisdom and peace.

“Everything is perfectly managed in the unborn.” Bankei

Nondual wisdom reveals that our unborn nature is the source and substance of all that is born into finite reality. All of our experience is an expression of this nature, a primordial awareness that accepts all forms of its expression, no matter how pleasurable or painful. This awareness is unconditional love as it equally accepts the most sublime ecstasy and one of the most painful of all human experience, trauma. It is only in this embrace of the manifest by the unmanifest that true transformation or healing takes place.

All of the suffering that is brought to psychotherapy is a confused or contracted expression of the unconditional love that we are. When suffering is embraced by this love, the confusion is clarified, the contraction is relaxed, and we are released into simple presence. Once awareness awakens to itself in a human being, it is possible to liberate all forms of confusion through this meeting, including those resulting from trauma. Left to itself, the ego-personality will endlessly repeat trauma or try to hide from it. Only the unconditional love of conscious awareness can truly embrace it. Adyashanti (2002) beautifully describes love returning for itself in all its forms:

“It is when awareness somehow meets itself as Love, when all experience is touched directly by that Love, that it is dissolved, freed, healed, transmuted and transformed. When experience is met with full acceptance without any resistance, it reveals itself to be the same Love. Nothing survives this meeting. Nothing stands up to the presence of being and remains.”

“We naturally move away from pain. But there is also a movement of intelligence within all beings that is moving toward what is, without needing to fix or change anything. It’s the coming together of awareness and it’s experience that is freeing; that is Love. That is Love returning for itself. And it has no motive other than union. This touching without motive is what is transformative.”

Transformation takes place in the present moment. Our past traumas can be resolved only in the here and now. This resolution involves an open receptivity to what appears each moment without any form of resistance, interpretation or identification. By fully allowing what is, moment-by-moment, all experience finds its natural resolution.

When it comes to healing trauma, however, additional skills may be required. Bessel Van der Kolk, MD (1999), a leading trauma researcher, defined trauma as “the inability to be present with what is in the here and now.” When we have experienced trauma, it tends to pull us out of the here and now into there and then. It returns us to repetitive re-experiencing or re-enactment of the past trauma. Trauma actually destabilizes the nervous system in a way that disrupts our natural ability to be in the here and now. Paradoxically, healing trauma requires being present with what is in the moment.

Therefore, healing trauma usually requires therapeutic methods that can facilitate being present with the nervous system’s experience of trauma in the body. And, this process is greatly enhanced by the conscious recognition of awareness. By its nature, awareness is present with whatever appears within it. When we are conscious as awareness, and our trauma arises, we are not identified with it; we are not fixated and therefore no longer at the effect of it.

There is naturally a being present with, or letting be, which allows a relaxation of the contracted, traumatic energy. Thus, there is a synergy between the conscious recognition of awareness, which facilitates a skillful method, and the method, which facilitates being present with trauma. This synergy results not only in the healing of trauma, but can also result in liberation from suffering itself.

It is important to note however, that when a therapist abides as primordial awareness, they will spontaneously utilize whatever techniques or methods they have acquired. They are also able to fore go all protocols and just be with what is. Awareness can and does use whatever is necessary to awaken itself, but nothing is essential other than awakened consciousness itself. A therapeutic method is involved in creating true freedom only to the extent that consciousness is awakened in the one using it.

Experience Therapy For Awakening. Somatic and trans personal therapy with an experienced Bay Area therapist Oakland psychologist.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a new form of therapy that is compassionate, inclusive, spiritual, powerfully healing, and deeply respectful of our inner life. It recognizes that our psyches are made up of different parts, sometimes called subpersonalities. You can think of them as little people inside us. Each has its own perspective, feelings, memories, goals, and motivations. For example, one part of you might be trying to lose weight and another part might want to eat whatever you want. We all have parts like the inner critic, the abandoned child, the pleaser, the angry part, and the loving caretaker.

IFS has discovered that every part has a positive intent for you, no matter how problematic it might be. For example, Bill has a part that is judgmental and competitive with other people in a way that is not consistent with his true values. However, when he really got to know that part, he discovered that it was just trying to help him feel OK about himself in the only way it knew-by feeling superior to others.

When you understand that a part has a positive intent, it doesn’t mean that you give the part power. Bill doesn’t want his part to act out being judgmental and competitive. However, using the IFS approach, Bill can relate to his parts with understanding and appreciation while taking the steps to heal it. This is fundamentally different from the way we ordinarily relate to our parts. Usually when we become aware of a part, the first thing we do is evaluate it. Is it good or bad for us? If we decide it is good, we embrace it and give it power. If we decide it is bad, we try to suppress it or get rid of it. However, you can’t get rid of a part. You can only push it into your unconscious, where it will continue to affect you, but without your awareness.

In IFS, we do something altogether different and radical. We welcome all our parts with curiosity and compassion. We seek to understand them and appreciate their efforts to help us. We develop a relationship of caring and trust with each part, and then take the steps to release it from its burdens so it can function in a healthy way.

In the IFS system, “protectors” are the parts you usually encounter first in exploring yourself. Their job is to handle the world and protect against the pain of the exiles. “Exiles” are young child parts that are in pain from the past. In the above example Bill had a protector who was competitive and judgmental toward others. It was trying to help Bill feel superior to protect against an exile part that felt inadequate.

Parts take on these dysfunctional roles because of what has happened to them in the past. Exiles take on pain and burdens from what they experienced as children. Protectors take on roles in order to protect you from the pain of the exiles.

Many different civilizations, which belonged to different historical times, have proclaimed that our dreams have a very important meaning, besides metaphysical dimensions.

However, nothing was clear, and there was no theory that could be considered to be the absolute truth about the meaning of dreams.

As a matter of fact, if we want to understand what means dream interpretation really according to the scientific method, which is the only correct one, we have to first of all forget all the known theories about the meaning of dreams, because they are all false. There is no base for their arguments. They don’t prove anything, and they don’t explain anything.

They are merely personal opinions of the dream interpreters, who may be based on scientific knowledge, however are not based on serious research.

A scientific research is based on the comparison of facts and reactions, on the reproduction of a certain effect due to the comprehension of its mechanism, and on many other objective proofs of the value of the discoveries made thanks to this study.

The scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by the psychiatrist Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, is the only method that deeply analyzes the dream language, which is made with images instead of words.

The real translation of the meaning of dreams is given through the translation of the symbolism contained in the dream messages, according to the logic and to the particular definitions given to the dream symbols by the unconscious mind that produces our dreams, and is therefore, the dream author.

He, the author, must give us the meaning of his own language, so that we may understand his words. We cannot discover what the dream author is trying to tell us if we try to guess based on our personal opinion, the same way that we cannot translate a document written in a foreign language based on suppositions.

The difference between dream theories and real dream translation is so huge that this comparison denounces a very big irony!

Only Carl Jung studied the unconscious language deeply enough, through very long scientific research, finding real solutions, giving true explanations to the world, and curing many people with this knowledge.

Continuing his research, I could not only prove that he was right and relate his discoveries to recent discoveries made in many different scientific fields, like biology and astronomy, but I was also able to prove to the world that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams is even wiser than what Jung believed with the knowledge he had.

I was able to transform his complicated method of dream interpretation, which depended on the analysis of too many dreams for a long period of time and on many comparisons, into an instant and exact translation from images into words.

But the most important of all is that today you can immediately understand how to find your mental health, transform your personality and attain wisdom translating the meaning of your dreams, because I managed to explain to you how to put into practice the guidance you receive in the dream images in order to have immediate positive results.
