In the Silva train­ing pro­gram you are taught a pro­gram to trig­ger a dream. It’s called the glass of water tech­nique. Over the forty years that I have been using it, I have had some
excel­lent results.

Exam­ple: Sev­eral months ago I needed to have a handy­man to cut down some of the dead tree branches and do gen­eral clean up on the four acres where I live. I placed an ad in the local paper for help. I had three responses. They all came out to bid on the job. They all quoted almost the same fig­ure for their ser­vices. As I inter­viewed them I found them to be hon­est peo­ple and they all had ref­er­ences. NOW… which one should I choose to do the job? That night I asked for a dream to help me choose which one to hire, I wanted to remem­ber the dream and I wanted to under­stand the dream.

The next morn­ing after drink­ing the reminder of the water at my bed­side, my mind drew a blank. After I got up, turned on the cof­fee maker and was in the bath­room wash­ing my face and comb­ing my hair I was star­tled because in the mir­ror was the face of the third man that I had inter­viewed.
He was short in stature, with a pleas­ant gen­uine smile. When we talked the day before he was shy, seri­ous and didn’t make eye con­tact. “I’ll do a good job, I need the work,” he seemed to be plead­ing. I hired him that morn­ing. And what a find; his wife, too, was look­ing for a job to clean houses. I hired her after we talked on the phone. She came
out the next day and was, as the phrase goes, ‘a God send’. At last I got all the work done around here.

Lately I have used my dream state for some­thing dif­fer­ent. When I go to bed and am not sleepy I ask that I be taken to an inter­est­ing place where I can expe­ri­ence some­thing — a place that I am not con­sciously aware of. It’s opened a win­dow to places that, even I, with all the research I’ve done amazes me.

Exam­ple: Last night I asked, “Take me to a place where I have never been before and let me remem­ber it when I wake up. EUREKA! It is a place that is so dif­fer­ent I awoke want­ing to know more. The scene was a room with an old woman sit­ting at the table read­ing from a book. When I entered the room she looked up, smiled and said that she had been wait­ing for me. “I have a treat for you, a cookie that is not from your dimen­sion,” she explained. “Come have tea with me,” she invited. I sat down and she poured a cup of tea that smelled and tasted like Jas­mine.
She handed me a cookie, actu­ally it looked more like a muf­fin. I took a bite expect­ing it to have a marsh­mal­low cen­ter but it was golden foam that melted in my mouth. It was like some­thing that I had never tasted before.

“Can I have the recipe,” I asked as I was munch­ing on it. She smiled and said, “The ingre­di­ents are not in your dimen­sion, but I will tell you that it has a num­ber of vit­a­mins and min­er­als that your body is lack­ing. You will feel ener­gized and phys­i­cally bal­anced in the morn­ing.” Sud­denly she stood up and glided across the floor and handed me a patch quilt that had the most unique squares of mate­r­ial. I exam­ined it closer, try­ing to fig­ure out the pat­terns that were on the mate­r­ial. “Each stitch has been pro­grammed to heal the per­son that uses it to keep warm,” she explained. “What a fan­tas­tic idea,” I said. “You are over­look­ing so many ways to make your phys­i­cal exis­tence more com­fort­able. I have a book filled with ideas that you should pass along. You are invited to come back and I will con­tinue to share the knowledge.”

The next thing that hap­pened, I awoke with the taste of Jas­mine tea and I can’t describe the taste of the cookie. I must go back to that place to obtain more wis­dom and
knowl­edge and share it with you.

But you don’t need me. Do your own dream­ing. I promise you it will offer you some insights that you have never con­sciously given thought to.

Believe and Receive,
