Dreams and Dream Interpretation
The Edgar Cayce Readings Approach to Dreams
Adapted from An Overview of the Edgar Cayce Material by Kevin J. Todeschi
Although it is true that many of us do not consciously remember our dreams, everyone dreams. During the early part of this century, while psychologists such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were demonstrating the clinical importance of dreams, Edgar Cayce was providing average individuals with guidelines for working with what has become one of the most practical approaches to dreams. Hundreds of Cayce's readings deal with the subject of dreams and dream interpretation. Perhaps the most important insights gained from the wealth of this material is the fact that each of us is aware of much more—about ourselves, our physical bodies, our surroundings, even our lifestyles—at subconscious levels than we realize when we are while awake.
Dreams can diagnose the causes of our physical ailments, point out the thoughts and emotions that we've tried to overlook and often make suggestions for improving our relationships with others. While dreaming, we can gain awareness about our entire being: physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. has created two online, interactive dream groups for sharing and interpreting dreams at MySpace and Facebook. Here’s how it works: Join one of our dream groups (they are free), and you can simply post your dream in a new discussion topic. Other members of the group will see your post(s) and offer insights of their own, or you in turn can read other posted dreams and offer your own insights. When possible, A.R.E. volunteer interpreters may also read some of the dreams posted to try to help you unlock your dream's meaning.
