Healing Our Sleep, Dreams, and Consciousness: An Integrative Approach

Sleep and dreams are the very roots of the tree of waking life, profoundly impacting our mental health, physical well-being and spirituality. Sleep loss, a most prevalent health concern, is strongly linked to anxiety, depression, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. Although mental health professionals routinely encounter insomnia in their practices as well as personal lives, few are adequately prepared to effectively address it. Unfortunately, our fundamental beliefs about sleep and dreams are excessively medicalized and myopic. In the end, we don’t get sleep simply because we don’t get sleep.
