The Dream  
In the night, a sleeping figure lays trapped in a dark, nightmare world existing on the edge of sleep. Strange demons, repressed hurts, and childhood fears range freely. Worse than the sight of this chaos is the feeling of being in its grasp. Unclear forms alter shape, and circle in ever stranger and more fearsome forms. This is a lonesome place, far from help and comfort. Shadows of pain, suffering, and depression overwhelm the sleeper, until she becomes a victim of her own thoughts and, like a martyr, repeatedly impales herself on their hurtful points. Her eyes are closed because she cannot bear to look at these fears when she is awake. The only way she can escape from these nightmares, however, is to open her eyes and awaken to what is really bothering her. She must confront it in broad daylight, no matter that there may be reputations lost, false friends discovered, or the most unpleasant of feelings set loose. The alternative is torment.

The Awakening  
In darkness, personal demons seem larger than ever. In order to free yourself, the monsters must be met, identified, and fought. Sometimes, just admitting that such things exist at all may be all the knowledge necessary for your escape. If, as in a terrible dream, fears and frightening projections are not confronted, they may overwhelm you. Unchecked, they may even make you ill.

The Enchantment  
A solution may be found in your dreams. Just before going to sleep, write out a one-line question or request that specifically expresses your problem. What haunts you? Keep the pen and paper by your bed. Close your eyes and repeat your question over and over as if it were a lullaby. Each day, when you wake up, remember what you can of your dreams and write it down without judgment. An answer will be there if, in a few hours, you read with an open mind what you have written.
