Dream Experiences as a Method of Influencing Behavior Change

By Cheri Melchione

A dream can impact a person so profoundly that it may permanently alter his or

her life, beliefs, or behaviour. Most of the time, these gifts of insight happen to only a

rare few and usually occur without intention. These life-altering dreams are spontaneous

and unpredictable. While most studies focus on the content or meaning of dreams after

they occur, this study explores the possibility of using dreams to influence behavioural

changes in the waking world. This study examined three of the dream elements

associated with profound dreams that could potentially be used to develop a systematic

method of using dreams to create behavioural changes. The three elements are (a)

Emotion: the ability to generate high-emotion states within a dream; (b) Narrative: the

formation of narratives within a dream; and (c) Reality: the ability of the dreamer to

perceive and accept the dream as reality.
