Acknowledgements

I am deeply indebted to the volunteer dreamers who stepped forward and offered to share their dreams, experiences and innermost thoughts through joining the Dream Survey. Without their help, this book would not exist. I also extend my thanks to the hundreds of others who have consulted me about their dreams, in person, through the mail and over the airwaves. You have all contributed.

I wish to thank ABC Brisbane’s 612 4QR radio station for courageously introducing dream awareness through my weekly dream talkback segment on Paul Lineham’s afternoon show. A special appreciation goes to Paul, whose early cynicism kept me on my toes while he grew to witness the importance of dreams in the lives of his audience. His promotion of dream talkback fired both my own enthusiasm for doing this research and the hearts of many of its listeners who have responded to the survey with such generosity.

Thank you friends, colleagues, family and neighbours for provocative discussion and terrific support during this research work and writing period.

May your dream lights shine.

~ Six years on ~

There are times during the writing of a book when it is impossible to edit your own work because you know it too well. The end of each sentence speaks itself aloud as your eyes rest on the opening words. Six or seven years on the experience is quite different. To create "Sleep On It" as on Online book, I started by retyping the original work (!), slowly re-reading the book in the process. The combination of a new objectivity and years of professional progress inspired me to edit and update the work to suit its 1999 Online birth date. I have aimed to achieve this without detracting from the original flavour of the book.

Thank you again to the original contributors whose efforts helped ‘Sleep On It’ to pave the way for my subsequent books: ‘Dream It: Do It!’, ‘The Shape of Things to Come’ and the Online book ‘How to Interpret Your Dreams’. A special thank you is also extended to my online readers, for visiting my web site and for choosing to discover how to Sleep On It and Change Your Life.

Many blessings to you all.
