Recent findings on psychological science and human nature help to explain what dreaming is for, what our dreams relate to in everyday life, an understanding of what hypnosis is, and an understanding of problems structure and how best to structure solutions.

These discoveries allow for psychological difficulties to be resolved more rapidly than many people realise. Dramatic developments can be created in a single session for difficulties like anxiety, depression, phobias or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and many others.

These findings show how NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques can be successful, why we dream and what hypnosis is. They also give a structure on how to do good psychological treatment by explaining how psychological difficulties develop and how to establish lasting solutions.

During the 1990's Psychologist Joseph Griffin researched dreaming and what the evolutionary purpose for dreaming was. He implemented this exploration on himself first. He would wake up regularly during the night for many nights to write down what he dreamt. As his research continued Joe began to develop an impression of what he had been dreaming about and what the meaning was behind those dreams.

When Joe woke up one morning he wondered something. He didn't have to be up yet so he decided he would go back to sleep. Joe assumed he would dream about this thought that he had had when he fell asleep. When he didn't he questioned why not.

As Joe continued researching he continually discovered events that he thought he would dream about but didn t. What Joe eventually learned led to him developing a new possibility about what dreaming is for. Joe discovered that we dream to close off patterns that have been started during the day but not completed and to also update new parts of patterns. Joe found for example, that if you have an argument and it is concluded then it won't crop up in your dreams, but if you start an disagreement then walk away without resolving it then when you next sleep you will dream about it.

Joe noticed that everything in your dreams will be metaphorical. So if you see someone you know in your dream it won't be them unless either they look or seem different to 'real life' in someway or if you can only hear them but not see them. They could represent a part of you or another person etc. The dream will ALWAYS be linked to an event from the previous day. It won't be linked to long forgotten events like some individuals previously thought (It used to be thought that dreams were expressions of entrenched hidden desires). The event could be an unresolved thought or an actual event.
