Since ancient Egypt and Greece, people have relied on the art of dreaming to diagnose illness and get answers to personal life challenges. Now, dreams are making a grand reappearance in the medical arena as recent scientific research and medical pathology reports validate the diagnostic abilities of precognitive dreams. Are we stepping back into the future as modern medical tests show dreams can be early warning signs of cancer and other diseases? Showcasing the important role of dreams and their power to detect and heal illness, Dr. Larry Burk and Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos share amazing research and true stories of physical and emotional healings triggered by dreams. The authors explore medical studies and ongoing research on the diagnostic power of precognitive dreams, including Dr. Burk’s own research on dreams that come true and can be medically validated. They share detailed stories--all confirmed by pathology reports--from subjects in medical research projects whose dreams diagnosed illness and helped heal their lives, including Kathleen’s own story as a three-time breast cancer survivor whose dreams diagnosed her cancer even when it was missed by her doctors. Alongside these stories of survival and faith, the authors also include an introduction to dream journaling and interpretation, allowing the reader to develop trust in their dreams as a spiritual source of healing and inner guidance.

Review :
“Dreams That Can Save Your Life is mesmerizing and empowering, letting everyone know that each of us has an inner physician who can be trusted to care for us--even when conventional medicine denies this. This book should be required reading not only for physicians but for anyone who wants to tap deeply into their inner wisdom and allow its intelligence to guide their lives.” “This inspiring book could save your life or the life of someone you love, Dozens of medically verified stories of dreams accurately diagnosing, prognosticating, or suggesting the most effective therapies for deadly diseases will help you trust your dreams and intuition. Dreams are a vital part of the modern medical team. I rely on them. This book will convince you that you should, too.” “The authors provide the evidence we need to heed warning dreams. Live not in fear of them but in the joy of receiving the best of all gifts--a dream that can save your life.” “Information that comes to us through dreams can be important, compelling, and even lifesaving, as this beautiful book illustrates. Yet all too few of us are paying attention. Bravo to the authors for having the courage to step outside the medical box and expand our horizons. We are all enriched by their elegant work. They invite us to ask ourselves, ‘What else is possible?’ A life-changing question if there ever was one.” “The most overlooked and neglected source of health information is our own unconscious mind, especially our dreams. This ancient, nocturnal avenue to wisdom is vividly described in Dreams That Can Save Your Life. These abilities are an inherent part of our nature. They are a magnificent gift. We ignore them at our own risk.” “This breakthrough book is the bridge we’ve all been waiting for that connects the metaphysical dream world with the practical world of medicine and science. After reading this book, you’ll never again take your dreams lying down.” “This book not only contains case studies but tells its readers how to remember their dreams and put them to practical use. It needs to be widely read not only by physicians but by their patients. The authors have written a book that reads like a series of detective stories, with surprise endings that will motivate its readers to remember their dreams and take action on what they discover.” “This thrilling book combines the latest psychological research on the power of dreams to foretell the onset of cancer. The authors are awakening us to our innate power to perceive the reality of--and heal--our own lives and bodies.” “The authors bring razor-sharp attention to one of the biggest epidemics of our times--cancer. Everyone would benefit from this eye-opening book. Read this book to know how dreams can work in conjunction with early diagnosis of diseases. This can make a big difference between suffering and healing, life and death.” “This very provocative book not only chronicles the predictive dreams of dozens of cancer survivors but also seems to activate such dreams within the reader. For anyone who wants to activate their own inner physician, I highly recommend it!” “Reading the detailed narratives of the dreamers in these pages gives me hope for the restoration of dreams to their rightful place in medicine.”
