Hello all, I have a client, who is a very intelligent academic, who has predictive dreams. He has had these dreams and has failed to note the details of the dreams down. These dreams often give my client a positive future based on him performing certain acts and a negative future based on procrastination. Consequently my client has frequent dejavu moments, which he claims to have already dreamed about. He seems to be spiralling into depression because he cannot remember exact details from dreams he has had a year ago, and subsequently he is unsure of which route to take in his life, fearing that he will make wrong decisions and end up living the negative outcomes of his dreams. My client has had a history of bullying issues, is currently having a marriage crisis and will simply not stop obsessing over these dreams which he cannot remember and has not written down. I have been through regressive sessions to deal with the bullying, self esteem and confidence boosts and motivation boosts to allow him to act in the here and now. And after each session he feels fantastic but then very rapidly goes back into his old, negative, obsession and self deprecation. Does anyone have any ideas as to an approach? I know I have been quite vague with details but have I missed out on an obvious solution??? Any help would be fantasic.

Hi Your client seems to be obsessed by his dreams so in order to help him I think you need to work with his belief system. Have you read much of Carl Jungs work? I really think this might help to understand his problem and develop an approach. Jungs theory was that dreams contain symbols and archetypes which connect us with the collective unconscious. Having recently read many transcripts of Jungs lectures I have written a script on his Word Association technique (which is yet to be published). If you would like to learn more about this then please email me through the contact form on Hypnotic World.

Hi It is late in the day to respond to this I know, however, I wanted to respond in-case this was of interest to anyone in the future. My question is why is the client so intent on understanding his dreams? He may never know and does not need to know. Over analysing is time wasted. I would use a Richard Bandler technique to wear out the process by re programming the neurological pathways. This is quite simple in that you get him to pin point the associated feelings and which way they are spinnng in his body, left right or up or down. they have to be moving, then you spin it faster and faster the opposite way. I would also use the fast phobia cure to help him dissociate from the memories of bullying etc as it appears he is still very much in association.

Hi Richard", In Hypnosis, Your Client can already remember, even relive having the dream. In Hypnosis, if Youve had surgery, You can recall everything the Surgeons said in the O.R. while You are under anesthesia! Your Unconscious Mind never sleeps! If wanting to remember his dreams is what Your Client is wanting to do, I would just give him a "self-reinforcing suggestion" that every morning he when he wakes up and has had a dream, if he wants to remember that dream, that he will be able to recall every single minute detail of the dream. And in the days, weeks, and months that follows, . . these suggestions sink deep and embeds themselves into his unconscious that it becomes such a part of his inward realities that it becomes more and more powerful, stronger, with each and every passing day. You Will Remember Your Dreams. If You drop him down into sonmambulism, give him that kind of suggestion, his Unconscious will absolutely give him what he wants. Good Luck to You & Your Client. I wish You both the Best, Have a Great & Wonderful Day, M.Huff,Jr.CH

Interesting case. Your client may have a head injury, which leaves some parts of high intelligence intact, and obviates others--like dream recall, or even the ability to write down dreams to verify. Deja-vu is often a neurological condition, which in his case seems to replace conventional memory of the dreams OCD also has neurological features involving the cingulate gyrus; but doesn't yield to conventional talk therapy. Bullying may also have a neurological basis, as in constant irritability or explosiveness; not infrequently the result of TBI. You could try neurofeedback (see my book The Healing Power of Neurofeedback.
