Nathan Feinstein is creator of MY DREAM GUIDES and developer of it' process.
My favorite dream was someone else's dream: Jean-Pierre Hallet who received the Presidential End-hunger Award for saving the last of the glg Pygmy race. I HELPED AS 2nd VP of The Pygmy Fund.
From Jean-Pierre and the Pygmies I learned what happiness is: The smile on the face of your child. I feel pride for the good that my children do.
When in college I asked for what became My personal favorite dream, which guided my career for 20 years. I dreamed of a credit card with visible microchips. They are on your debit and credit cards now. 10 years after I dreamed about a debit card with a microchip I received one as a banker at a conference.
My most frequently used nightmare dream is described inside the front cover. The dream left me with the scary image of me destroying half of my teeth with my fingernails. I still see that image at will to settle myself down to avoid eating those enticing things that can destroy my teeth.
Probably my most important dream is used as the insight finding example on the back of MY DREAM GUIDES. Background: An F150 ran a red light and hit my Ford Ranger broadside. My Ford Ranger rolled over. I was unconscious with multiple injuries.
12 days later I was diagnosed with Acute Stress Disorder (ASD). After 30 days the diagnosis automatically becomes PTSD, if symptoms persist. So, I used My Dream Guides and wrote-up a nightmare car accident dream, which is the left- side example on the Guide To Insights.

The following morning, I used My Dream Guides and wrote-up a dream that helped prevent PTSD. You can read about it: See the right-side example on the Guide To Insights.
As a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, I have enjoyed presenting My Dream Guides, learning about other approaches to dreamwork, and selling My Dream Guides to my peers.
To help you understand how to use MY DREAM GUIDES, here is what I learned, after creating my first dream guide. I practiced a little with my eyes open, then closed. I attached my pen to the guides with its clip.

Next morning, I found that it worked. After my last dream of the night ended; with eyes still closed, I reached for My Dream Guides and wrote for a few minutes, starting with the most important part of the dream, its conclusion. Still seeing the dream, I wrote more.
I got up and corrected words that were difficult to read, replacing illegible words with readable words.
I saw parts of the dream again, while making corrections, because my sight was inward (insight), eyes closed, when I wrote about the dream. I could not think about what the dream meant, while I was replacing the unreadable words with my vivid dream recollection. But, I noted thoughts that interrupted the process. Some of the thoughts turned out to be insightful. This took very little time.
You've got to hate nightmares that happen repeatedly, and frequently. At the same time, occasional nightmares can be helpful. Also, dream-come-true days can happen often, but not necessarily as expected:
Once I had a dream that created the day, but the day was not like the dream. I dreamed that my little sister died. That bothered me a lot, until I realized at lunchtime that 'I hadn't seen her for too long. She isn't going to live forever; we should go to lunch. So, I called her, and we went to lunch. The day became surprisingly good, thanks to a scary dream remembered and understood.
I also use My Dream Guides to write about thoughts that 'go bump in the night' and wake me with a start.
