Abstract:

TO SLEEP IS TO DREAM, and to dream is to explore a world both different from
and similar to our waking world. If you?re like most people, you can't help but
wonder about the world of dreams.
I can remember dreams from before I had the words to articulate them, and according
to friends who I went to school with, I've been interpreting them for others for nearly
as long. I'm neither a psychologist nor a psychic, however; I'm a medical practitioner,
and as a doctor, I understand how important the stories we tell ourselves when we are
asleep are to our waking lives.
Whether you want to learn about the biology of dreams or their psychology, whether
you want to understand your own dreams or interpret the dreams of others, This
presentation will help you to get in touch with your own unconscious, and learn what
it is you're trying to tell yourself.
It?s my belief that our individual dreams actually connect us far more than many of us
imagine. Dreams offer us fleeting glimpses of our human interconnectedness and a
shared imagery that we're only now beginning to understand.
Every healer frequently experiences meeting patients he is to be very similar to
himself, patients, that is, who present problems. Which are so near to himself as to
astonish him by the peculiar coincidence between what the patient is and what he is
personally experiencing?
This phenomenon could be defined as like attracts like, almost as if the sufferings, the
problems, the character itself of the physician act as recall, a beam of light which in a
super-sensitive way attracts to itself patients who are able to vibrate at the same
frequency.
The fact that like attracts each other is a condition of the second mechanism under
consideration, the mechanism of identification the possibility to hear, see, understand
and suffer with the patient. This is a formidable instrument in understanding the
patient; which the "healer" more or less, unconsciously makes use of to place himself
in the patients shoes so as to experience the sense of his suffering even before he
understands it.
Once the mechanism is understood and the ability to activate it voluntarily has been
mastered, this can become for the physician the main route to operate understanding
the patient it allows him to feel his own emotions, be aware of his own blocks and
therefore guide himself more safely towards the center of his own problems. Since
how ever there is a similarity between the problems existing in the patient and in the
doctor, the process of identification with the patient and in the doctor, the process of
identification with the patients problems becomes a kind of game with mirrors for the
doctor it turns into a confrontation with his own problems, looking for answer to the
questions which still have not been resolved personally.
The physician therefore finds himself refluxed in as many mirror images as he has
patients. The more he is able to leave himself and enter their problems, the more he is
able to solve his own. The more efforts he puts in on their behalf, the more results he
is able to achieve for himself too.
Medicine distinguishes itself from other scientific disciplines by its marked
humanistic features. Neither can medicine be disqualified exclusively on scientific
level, because life is not a simple expression of quantifiable chemical physical mechanism.
The phenomenon life can neither be reproduced nor explained by laboratory trails, and
therefore every isolated reference related to a parameter results insufficient. A
physician is not an engineer of life, but his action has certainly in every moment a
valence of individuality and therefore experimentation.
Unfortunately the physician is the performance of the man himself therefore in
conclusion his being falls into the limits of individual fears and becomes
representative for themselves. This becomes obvious in the search of substitute
solutions, statistically quantifiable. Science and technology that are available, don't
symbolize life, but they are only means that the physician?s discernment, perceiving
suffering, can use in his personal deontological sensibility.
In the historic moment we are living there has been obviously a delegation towards
scientific solutions in a broad sense, these have turned over the real values of life
taking away the centrality of man, shifting it on models of artificial references, and
creating a deep existential disorientation.
