Not only physical\, mental\, and spiritual guidance\, but also accurate personal guidance regarding our relationships\, our work\, our health\, our finances\, and even our personal future. This one-hour program will show you an easy approach to interpreting your own or anyone else’s dreams. You will discover how identifying a dream’s “theme” greatly simplifies its interpretation. It will also explore how this approach can help you in interpreting easy\, intermediate\, and even advanced dreams. You will learn how to better remember your dreams\, and finally\, participants will discover how it’s possible to “incubate a dream\,” receiving guidance on any question imaginable.\n \nLed by Kevin J. Todeschi\, MA\, a nationally recognized authority on dreams\, who has lectured to thousands of individuals on six continents. He is also the author of more than 25 books\, including The Encyclopedia of Dream Images and Symbols\, The BEST Dream Book Ever\, and Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records.
