FAMILIES AND THE
INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS:
AWAKENING THE INTIMATE WEB
by Edward Bruce Bynum |
|
|
|
|
|
Can the power of dreams rock your family?
Nationally known expert says, “Through good times and bad
times…dreams do broadcast our shared experiences, especially
our family life.” |

|
|

Profiled in Omni magazine and featured in special programming
on Discovery and Disney Channels, dream expert Edward Bruce
Bynum, Ph.D., ABPP, says the energy of dreams can unlock
critical secrets about your life, your family, and the people
you know and love. Dr. Bynum, the Director of Behavioral
Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Health Services,
is a popular speaker on the science of dreams, family dynamics
and other aspects of consciousness at academic settings that
include Harvard University, Tufts University, and also many
special events in the United States, Africa, India and Japan.
Dr. Bynum says, “Families are connected through their
dreams because they share incredibly intimate relationship
histories, subtle psychic and psychological boundaries,
powerful one-to-one connections, and deep emotional
motivations. Dreams play an important role that undeniably
impacts individual emotions, decisions, and physical health.”

Drawing on groundbreaking research from the noted Family
Dreams Research Project, Dr. Bynum presents fascinating case
studies that explore and illustrate both the hidden and the
easy-to-understand messages of dreams. His work makes a clear
distinction between mystical experiences and mental illnesses
and also draws a sharp line between religion and spirituality.
