Have you ever had a pet as a nurse or doctor? I had Baby Cakes as my fury nurse during my 10 year battle with breast cancer & recurrence.
When he was sure I was cured, he hung up his nurses cap at ripe ol' age of  27 years, and walked cross the rainbow bridge to "the other side." And although he left me when he was positive he was no longer needed, he left knowing he would always be loved and remembered.
Baby Cakes showed his profound healing skills when he:
  • realized I was too sick from therapy to eat people food, so he brought me his favorite food from his dish and placed it on my chest- his day-old smelly chicken wings. (Yeah, that got me on my feet!)
  • sat on my feet during the night like a mother hen to keep them warm, when I had to use the bathroom, again. Those bathroom  floors were cold in winter.
  • slept with his paws wrapped around my neck and his head on my ear and purred as loudly as possible to shut out the overpowering ringing in my ears from radiation therapy. It was the only way I could take a nap or get to sleep at night. He was much better than a sleeping pill because there were no negative side-effects. Baby was organic.


During my treatment, any time Baby Cakes had to leave my side to eat or use the potty box, he left his little brother Fee-Licks on guard duty.
Fee would quietly and stealthily slink under the covers with just his head showing, eyes alert, ears at the ready, serious face on, and guard me for hours. This is an amazing feat for Fee because he is afraid of mice and spiders and often falls off the back porch or stair railings. Quiet or graceful is not a word that describes Fee, yet,  I never heard or felt him come and go.  Fee took his job very seriously! (Of course Baby-Cakes would drag him to the potty box and bury him alive again for being a "little sh*!" if he didn't.)

Baby Cakes.... My little fury healer.

3 Pillars and 2 Ways to Do DreamWork... and YOU




Introduction: My guest blogger today is David Dibble, who is the creator of DreamWork, host of the DreamWork Global Summit and lead teacher/host of DreamWork Day and the DreamWork Coach Certification Program. David’s message, commitment and mission are to take DreamWork into the world in a significant and meaningful way that touches the lives of 100 million dreamers, creating a tipping point that raises human consciousness globally.


David believes that most of the time cancer, or any disease, is a message that a person has been unwilling in some way to hear or act upon. If one can get the message, often the disease is no longer necessary. David also believes the message that needs to be heard and acted upon is encoded in every dream. 


That means the answers to your dis-ease are in your dreams.
Something special is happening during Breast Cancer Awareness month, for YOU!   
I will share the work of esteemed guest bloggers and friends like Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Larry Burk of the International Society of the Study of Dreams and Dream Diagnosis of Cancer, David Dibble of DreamWorks & the Panacea Community, and many more. These respected scholars will share  profound messages and tips for healing with you.




  
My blogs on surviving cancer using dreams, prayers and meditations will be on their blog sites, accessible by their bio, and they will share four articles, blogs and  stories about how to access dreams to uncover the hidden messages relating to cancer and other diseases. This is our way of saying, “We care!” Enjoy.






The 3 Pillars of DreamWork

At 24, I started a company in a garage with $5000 and built it to a profitable $10 million in sales & 200 employees. Based upon the work of Deming & Senge, I became a workplace systems expert. After 8 years with don Miguel Ruiz, we're one of two companies worldwide licensed to teach The Four Agreements at Work.

Over the last eight years, we have done a lot of ConsciousSystems improvement work in hospitals that we believe is unprecedented. You can check out the detailed report below on the outcomes produced in both large and small hospitals using our ConsciousSystems approach. It would be nice to find a kindred spirit hospital CEO who wanted to create a model of possibility in healthcare. But we have bigger issues, too.

Humanity is at a tipping point where it appears only a rise in human consciousness will solve our many problems. DreamWork is, we believe, meant to be a catalyst for just such a global rise in human consciousness. Let me explain.

DreamWork is 3 bodies of knowledge (Pillars) that accelerate human and workplace transformation like nothing before it.

The 3 Pillars of DreamWork are:

1. Dream Assignments (asking profound questions & receiving perfect guidance in a dream)

2. CharacterTypes (Right Actions to take to follow the guidance of Inner Wisdom)

3. ConsciousSystems (The transformation of both systems and people in the workplace)


DreamWork is a methodology for creating a direct connection with Inner Wisdom through “Dream Assignments,” asking life’s most profound questions, and receiving perfect guidance in a dream. It is a systematic and profound approach to spiritual and personal growth that also focuses on health. 


Our Dream Assignments tell us that we are to take DreamWork into the world in a significant and meaningful way. 

We are to do this in 2 ways: 

1. By certifying and supporting life and executive coaches to coach DreamWork

2. By teaching leaders and consultants the simple elegance of ConsciousSystems.


After four years of preparation for this mission, we're now taking our first steps on what we believe will be a most inspiring journey--one we can't make alone. If something here resonates with you, let's talk and see if we can help each other. To learn more, you can get a free copy of my book, DreamWork, from our site.

Dreams of Diagnosis: Let Magic Happen During Breast Cancer Awareness





Do you keep a dream journal beside your bed?

Here are some true life stories that share important health reasons why your nightly dreams can be an important part of your daily life. 

  
As a kick-off to October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I will be guest blogging and sharing reciprocal blogs with some very impressive and world renowned physicians, metaphysicians, fellow dreamers and cancer survivors. The theme of these bogs is Dreams of Diagnosis and will focus on the detection and healing power of your dreams.



Have you ever had a precognitive dream?

Precognition is referred to as future sight, and second sight. It is a type of extrasensory perception. Precognitive dreams give precognitive, or future information. Do you know someone who had a prophetic or precognitive dream that diagnosed illness? That is the focus of Dr. Larry Burk’s blog. 

My guest blogger today is Dr. Larry Burk who has had just such dreams and experiences….



Let Magic Happen: Cancer Dream Diagnosis

I’ve been keeping dreams diaries on a regular basis since 1987.  On two occasions I’ve had precognitive dreams that corresponded to the diagnosis of cancer in someone else. Until I met Pali Delevitt in 1999, I had never heard of anyone diagnosing their own cancer in a dream as described in the excerpt below from Chapter 9 of Let Magic Happen: Adventures in Healing with a Holistic Radiologist. Since then I’ve discovered two other friends who diagnosed their own breast cancers in dreams and have met clinicians who routinely use dreams for diagnostic guidance in their practices. I moderated a panel discussion on the topic at the 2012 Parapsychological Association meeting as described in the linked abstract, Medical Dream Diagnosis. To learn my favorite approach to dreams see the May 2013 Let Magic Happen blog, Interpreting Dreams in Multiple Dimensions.


Healing Dream Guidance excerpt:
In her book, Wyld Possibilities, she described how in 1987 she had a suspicious lesion on her tongue biopsied. It came back negative. Soon afterward, she had a dream of a spider crawling out of her mouth through a mass of cobwebs. Then two characters from the M*A*S*H television show, Charles Emerson Winchester and Hot Lips Houlihan, showed up in a dream. They told her (several times) she had a tumor in her tongue that needed to come out, despite the initial negative biopsy. A repeat biopsy by her skeptical surgeon eventually confirmed the cancer.


After surgery and radiation left her temporarily cancer-free, she had additional dreams in 1991 of a spider escaping from a cage. This was a warning of the first recurrence of her cancer. Shortly after we met, she had another recurrence. It was recommended that she have half her jaw removed for reconstructive surgery, but instead she chose to manage the condition through less radical laser surgery and holistic remedies. She was guided by her dreams until her death ten years later, outliving her prognosis by a couple decades. Pali used her voice during those years to teach many students. She also fulfilled her lifelong dream of writing and producing Esther, her biblical musical masterpiece featuring 20 of her original songs.


Naturally, it was Pali who recommended Marc Ian Barasch’s Healing Dreams to me when it first came out in 2000. He reported a similar experience in diagnosing his own occult thyroid cancer in the book. He was confronted by recurring ominous dreams filled with images of death. They always focused on his neck. Finally, after an initial negative workup, he had a terrifying dream that “torturers had hung an iron pot filled with red-hot coals beneath [his] chin,” that drove him to push his doctors to find the cancer. As documented in his book, such dream diagnoses are more common than you might think.
