Dreams That Can Save Your Life Early Warning Signs of Cancer and Other Diseases Audible Audio Edition Larry Burk MD CEHP Kathleen O'KeefeKanavos Bernie Siegel MD foreword Jay Cruz Inner Traditions Audio Books Reviews

• I've always been dreaming a lot my whole life, and I always wondered what my sometimes very bloody dreams were trying to tell me, but I never thought I'd read a whole book about dreams. Well, I thought wrong. This book is written so well it just happened that I read it from the first page to the last. Chapters are interesting, informative, eye opening, short, and you never get bored to read the next and the next and the next. I only reached page 93 of "Dreams That Can Save Your Life" and already decided to pick up my long forgotten dream journal, and start writing down my dreams again. Wonderful book for everyone who loves to read for pleasure, for fun, and education.
• ‘Dreams That Can Save Your Life’ is a profound book of wisdom aligned with medical research. Larry Burk, MD, CEHP, and Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanvaos carry you on a journey as to how dreams save many lives. This is a book filled with power-packed testimonies of individuals who were facing the battle of breast cancer and other diseases before they were diagnosed. It deeply touches on the emotional journey of a tug-of-war between, “Am I only dreaming or are my dreams advising me to seek medical attention?” The brave women mentioned in this book stood firm in what they believed their dreams were revealing, although some medical professionals did not. The strong intensity of warning signs motived them to push further into their concerns. Leading towards a self-advocating victory of receiving proper health care and strength not many of them felt they had. Not only does this book speak of healing but also breaks down dream interpretation and their wide variety of forms. Clarifying how each dream dimension affects our daily lives and wellbeing. You’ll be amazed at the research, time, and effort Dr. Larry Burk and Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanvaos put into this extraordinary book. Rather you’re a dreamer or not this book will lead you to provoke a better understanding of your dreams in your waking life and take action towards what your dream world’s disclosing. From symbols to loved ones ‘Dreams That Can Save Your Life’ showcases an earnest significance to the expression, “Dreams can come true.” Highly recommended!
• Wow! Absolutely fascinating! Highly recommend this book!
• Dreams are important, dreams are elusive, paradoxical, hard hitting and direct, difficult to understand, powerful, life changing, mostly forgotten unopened letters, open to discovery. What more could we say? This new book is very important, discussing something that is otherwise elusive, paradoxical....
  Here's a paradox A study at Harvard University few years back asked students to attempt to get a dream of guidance on a topic of their choice. Both the dreamers themselves, as well as a panel of judges, evaluated the resulting dream as to how well it spoke to the targeted topic. The results indicated that a significant number of students were able to recall a dream that pertained to the targeted question. Of the various topics for dreaming, it turned out that health questions had the greatest chance of being responded to in a dream. That's one finding.
  Here's something else Carl Jung, the eminent psychiatrist who took a creative path through the study of dreaming, totally believed in the ability of dreams to speak to relevant topics, a person's health--physical and psychological--were primary concerns of dreams. Yet he found that interpreting dreams related to the body was the most challenging of all dream interpretation tasks. Might it be because we use our past experiences to interpret dreams and it is possible that the body operates in a manner different than the ways we've learned? Dunno. But it is something to think about as you consider this new book on dreams, which perhaps you need to study.
  Dreams that Can Save Your Life is a book that comes from research with dreamers. It asks whether dreams can be counted on to give advance warning of developing illness and how to notice and understand such warnings. It studies the lives of several women who had dreams that diagnosed their cancer. It establishes, once again, that dreams can foretell illness long before it can be diagnosed with medical procedures. The work that went into this book serves to remind us of the power of dreams and it shows that it is indeed capable of making progress on what is quite a challenge of detective work, symbolic thought, refined consciousness and medical knowledge.
  I think it is important to know the origins of this book. It reveals the very large gap between what actually happens in the world, amazing stuff, and what we understand, or think we understand, about how the world works. Our theories and methodologies lag behind the realities. Dr. Burk began his study because of hearing about so many cases in which women who had been treated for breast cancer had had warning dreams about their disease. Here was the after the fact evidence of the power of dreams, but also very sad evidence about the difficulty of having such information guide medical practice. The women dreamers in this book were pioneers, often lonely pioneers as their doctors could not integrate the dream information into the treatment. A large part of the book is a collection of these women's stories.
  When the dreams of women correctly diagnose cancer, what are the defining characteristics of this dream experience? It is an important question, as sometimes dreams of illness prove to be more symbolic than literal, so how do we tell the difference? One of the major contributions of this book is its analysis of these stories to discover what are the telling patterns. Here was their conclusion
  In 94% of the stories, the woman awoke with a strong sense of conviction that the dream was telling the truth.
  In 83% of the cases, the dreams were more intense, vivid, realistic.
  In 72% of the cases, there was a sense of menace, dread or threat.
  In 44% of the cases, there was an instance of an actual medical term used or presented, such as "cancer," or "tumor."
  In 38% of the cases, there was a sense of being in physical contact with the breast
  Perhaps the reader can use these tell-tale signs to help discriminate. I suggest, however, that instead of relying on these broad statistics (which is more of a yang approach than yin), it would be better to read the women's stories, which make up the bulk of the book. These ladies demonstrate clearly the use of their own intuitive abilities and connections with self, to guide the process. A reader is more likely to get an intuitive "ah ha!" from these stories, a confirmation or encouragement to engage one's own intuitive connection, to explore one's own health situation.
  These stories, plus the non-contestable fact that dreams can provide an advance diagnosis, is the important news. The authors conclude that good, proficient, well-informed medical practice would now dictate that women keep a dream journal and present the dreams along with laboratory tests. A dream diary should be a part of a medical record--that's big news! Shall we repeat it?
  Years ago, my research into dreams arose from the Asklepian tradition. The Greek doctor Hippocrates gave credit to the god Asklepios and his dream temples, as providing most of the medical treatment knowledge of his day. In a mythical past, folks would receive a dream inviting them to seek a healing from their disease at one of the Asklepian temples. The patient would invariably experience what we might call a visionary dreams, what Julian Jaynes called a "bicameral dream," in which the dream occurs in the bed or bedroom of the dreamer, like a vision. We wouldn't know about these dream healings had not there been a requirement that the healed patient had to create a testimony concerning the healing. Incised stone tablets from way back when before written records, are a testament to these healings.
  A pilot project was conducted at ARE Clinic in Phoenix many years ago, working with allergies. How might a person go about incubating a dream that would alleviate their allergic reaction? See "Dream Therapy for Sinusitus," by James Kwako, M.D., Sundance The Community Dream Journal, Summer, 1978, Vol. 2(2), 248-251.
  Solid medical research requires a lot of work, committee oversight, etc., which Dr. Larry Burk can be congratulated on for having passed all these hurtles. The same might be applied one day to healing in dreams.
  Another area touched upon in the book has to do with somebody dreaming about someone else's illness. Dr. Burk tells a couple of his own stories to demonstrate that it is indeed possible. The interpersonal dynamics that would stimulate such dreaming remains to be explored. In the Dream Helper ESP Circles, developed and researched within the Edgar Cayce community, we have the opportunity to explore through comparative study just how does one person's health appear in other people's dreams. It is possible that a group of dreamers might provide a diagnostic path for discerning health problems in others.
  There's so much to explore! Thanks to the hard work, and the personal sharing, that went into Dreams that Can Save Your Life, that we may hope to see a lot more progress as research advances.
