Introduction

Imagine how much more you could accomplish in life if you could tap into your own habitual subconscious processes and modify them so that they work only toward achieving your goals! Keep reading, because that is what you are going to do! This little book will teach you how to wake up and harness this power, by focusing on the art of hypnosis and the power of awakening your dreamscape.

In very simple terms, people who achieve great success in life have learned how to master these subconscious processes in order to build a foundation that will allow them to realize their goals. They have learned to visualize and manipulate their subconscious patterns of thought, and this in turn allows them to awaken their dreams and turn them into reality by actualizing them. Alternately, those who have been less than successful in life may have actually constructed dream psycles that work more toward derailing their chances for success, rather than helping them. They remain blind to the universe of subconscious processes that controls their behavior, and so rather than mastering them and achieving significant goals in life, they facilitate failure and subconscious repression by forming idle or rote patterns of behavior, and transparent excuses for their failings.

When you wake up your subconscious set-points and dream psycles to conscious scrutiny, new ideas, talents, abilities, and motivation will burst forth into your awareness, much like those images hidden in computer generated art come charging out at you once you know how to recognize them. These discoveries will provide you with a clear and tremendously empowering self-awareness, and they will transform your life. They will illuminate the reasons why you think, feel, act, and react as you do. You will learn how to wake up to self-limiting subconscious psycles that have hampered your ability to set and accomplish significant goals in the past. You will learn a whole new set of skills, which will enable you to take immediate and total control over every aspect of your personal life and professional career. This book will help you wake up those talents and abilities that are there inside you, but have remained hidden up until now. Right now is the time to begin!

In Chapter 1, "How Dream Psycles Shape Your Reality," I will show you how your waking reality is really a kind of dreamscape, which is comprised of a collection of set-points and dream psycles, and how these dream psycles must be structured. If a person leads an idle, empty life, the subconscious mind will provide its own structure to these psycles, and this often results in the development of meaningless, yet compulsive behavioral patterns. With the proper knowledge and skills, however, you can replace these hollow, empty psycles with personally enriching, productive ones. You will learn how to unleash the tremendous reserve of creative and expressive powers that lies buried beneath shells of habitual psycles enshrouding your own dreamscape. I will show you how to shed these unwanted shells to make sweeping, positive changes in your life within a matter of days, and I will give you reinforcement techniques that will enable you to maintain this new power for a lifetime.

In Chapter 2, "A Short History of Hypnosis," I will introduce you to some of the colorful, influential personalities in the history and development of modern hypnosis. Since this book focuses on the use of hypnosis for awakening your dream psycles, I think it is appropriate that you should know a little (but not too much) of its history. Because of its brevity, I was tempted to title this section "An Incredibly Short History of Hypnosis," but this doesn't quite convey the meaning or imagery I desired, and, in fact, neither does the selected title, when you think about it. In fact, the chronology of historical events as they relate to hypnosis is actually quite lengthy, but I do not intend for this book to be about the history of hypnosis; This book is more about the art of hypnosis, and for this reason I give you only the critical events, without going into long biographical details of the players. This is an important and fascinating section for anyone who wants to understand the historical development of hypnosis. Those who are only interested in the more practical aspects of hypnosis may skip over this section entirely if you choose to do so.

In Chapter 3, "The Magic of Hypnosis," you will learn what hypnosis is, and also what it isn't. In this chapter you will learn the basic principles of hypnosis, and I will also dispel some of the more common myths and misconceptions about both the experience of hypnosis and the process of hypnotic induction. You will also learn how hypnosis works, and why hypnosis is the perfect methodology for awakening your dream psycles.

Chapter 4, "The Awesome Power of the Subconscious Mind," is a fascinating chapter for those who are interested in the inner workings of the mind and body. It is essential reading for anyone who truly wants to understand the psycho-physiological dynamics of the human belief system as it pertains to dream psycles and the art of hypnosis. This chapter explores the autonomic nervous system and its sub-components, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which together regulate our adaptation to the world, both around us and within us. These are the systems that are most often associated with the "fight or flight" stress response that challenges us all. In this chapter we will explore these two powerful components of the human nervous system, and how they interact with the conscious and subconscious mind.

In Chapter 5, "The 20 Essential Keys to Awaken Your Dreams" you will learn the essential principles that provide the keys to unlock and harness the incredible power of subconscious mind. You will learn how to make these processes serve at the call and beckoning of your conscious mind, rather than the other way around. In this section you will learn why conscious willpower alone will never succeed, and why all permanent change must be made at the subconscious level. You will also discover why once a change is made in the subconscious mind, it will perpetuate itself effortlessly.

In Chapter 6 "Powerful Tools for Hypnotic Induction and Suggestion," you will begin to explore specific ways to shape your own behavior using hypnosis, and other techniques as well. This is a very important section because it clearly illustrates how the human mind transgresses from one state to another in response to various cues and signals. In addition, this chapter will teach you that not all hypnotic states are of the "trance" type that most people have come to associate with hypnosis, and in fact, the achievement of a trance state is not an essential aspect of a successful session.

In Chapter 7, "Analytical Hypnosis, Age Regression, and Past Life Experiences," I will show how you can use self-hypnosis to explore the very limits and boundaries of human consciousness, including the experience of age regression, pre-birth memories, and even past-life experiences. You will also learn various techniques, such as ideomotor signaling, which will allow you to communicate messages from these previous times. Whether you believe that this form of hypnotherapy is appropriate for your own needs or not, analytical hypnosis has provided countless subjects with new avenues for cathartic expression, self-healing, and personal growth.

Chapter 8, "Dealing With Life's Common Problems," is a collection of discussions on some of life's more common problems, and how these problems may be resolved using hypnosis and other techniques. The problems addressed in this section include smoking, weight loss, stress, pain, and even technology addictions. The discussion of these problems is presented in much the same way that a hypnotherapist might address them in a first consultation with you. The idea is to give you a realistic assessment of the problem, some sound advice on how to deal with it, and an explanation of how hypnosis or other techniques can be used to effectively address these problems.

Chapter 9 is titled "The Truth About Money and Happiness." Since money is such an emotionally charged issue for most of us, I decided that it would be appropriate to break this discussion out as a separate chapter. This is the section to read if you can't decide whether to quit your job, cash in your retirement and open that pizza franchise, or stay put for another 10-15 years and build your retirement nest egg. These are very complicated issues to deal with. There is no easy solution, no easy path to riches, but by making little adjustments to the steps you take today, you can put into motion a whole set of psycles that will make a huge difference in that most important of personal financial goals, your own retirement.

Chapter 10, "How to Think Like a Giant, and Turn Your Wildest Dreams Into Reality" discusses the 10 simple steps that everyone must follow in order to achieve success in any endeavor. These are very simple rules for success that are so often neglected, yet in order to be successful you must make them psycles in your own life, no matter what methodology you choose to navigate your personal dream psycle makeover. Whether you use hypnosis, NLP, counseling, or any other method to achieve your goals, these are the 10 steps you must follow in order to successfully and permanently alter your own dreamscape. You should commit these steps to memory, and integrate them into your everyday behavior patterns.

In Chapter 11, "A Collection of Sample Induction Scripts," I will present a number of complete scripts, which you can use for various forms of hypnotic or waking state inductions. Some of these will serve your own personal requirements without revision. All you will need to do is tape them, following the special recording guidelines for vocal pitch, tone, and timing that you will have learned in chapter 6, and then play them back at your leisure. Others will require some minor editing and vocabulary changes to suit your particular needs, but this will be no problem for you once you have completed reading this book.

Chapter 12, "Potpourri," is a compilation of additional discussions on subjects such as creativity, study habits, moodiness, self-esteem, memory, gambling, and relationships. In each discussion, set-points, emotions, and behaviors are identified, and possible solutions using all of the techniques described in this book are presented.

Chapter 13 is a Visualization Toolkit, or a compilation of various exercises, which you can practice to improve your creative visualization skills and further enhance your hypnotic experience. These visualization and cognitive exercises are designed to help you improve your focus, and master your ability to readily and realistically visualize anything. Your goal in practicing these visualization and awareness exercises should be to do so with enough conviction that you can fully experience the focus of the exercise, with all of your senses, rather than simply "thinking" of these pictures in your mind.

Finally, in Chapter 14, "A New Awakening," I will briefly summarize the critical points of this little book. As you read this final chapter (please don't skip ahead!) you will realize that you have indeed, been awakened from the subconscious psycles that have held you back in the past. You will finally understand that there is nothing in life that you cannot do, if only you utilize the tools and principles I have explained within these pages. The world really is your oyster, once you know how to look inside.

Appendix "A" is an outline of a simple Dream Psycle Awakening Worksheet that you can use as a model for your own dreamscape designs, and Appendix "B" is a glossary of most of the significant words used in this book.

Whatever your goals are in life, you must start working toward them right now. There should be no room in you life for procrastination. One wasted day quickly becomes two, and then three, and then months have passed, and before you know it your whole life has passed before you, and you may still be thinking about the things you could have achieved in life, if only you had the time remaining to do them.

This game of life is too short to worry about what we can't change, and too long to live without changing what we can. The only real winners in this game are the people who live by this rule. You already know that procrastination doesn't work. Right now is the time to begin! Right now is the time to wake up the sleeping giant within you, and to start making all of your dreams, even your wildest dreams, come true!
