The usual comment from psychologists and psychiatrists was that it's best not to encourage people to look at their dreams because they are liable to stir up problems for themselves.
People don't think their dreams amount to much but when I ask them to examine them for common themes they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.
The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.
A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'
Everyone dreams but not everybody remembers their dreams because some people go into delta they go too low.
That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.
I published in 1978 a report on dreams in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It was the first study of its kind to demonstrate that it is possible for people to make constructive use of their dreams to improve their lives.
Dreams seem to have a will of their own.
Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams I'm up for that.
I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate move and inspire.
