In this interview, host Jeffrey Mishlove describes two extraordinary dreams that were instrumental in shaping his career in parapsychology. Stanley Krippner describes a variety of ways in which dreams can have a life-changing impact. Famous musical composers have heard their compositions in dreams. Dreams can impact athletic performance. Dreams can be instrumental in problem solving and in healing. Krippner discusses lucid dreaming as well as mutual dreaming. Past-life researchers also describe dreams that serve to “announce” the arrival of a soul to be incarnated in a new birth.
