Inquiry Series #1: Dreams Unto Holiness
“... Surely, God’s eternal impartations are unlimited, and as such not confined to daylight or to Old Testament prophets.
Surely, we are created for transcendent insights at any time. Surely, today, vast numbers of large-hearted, transcendent minded types, receive glimpses of a living wholeness (not a theory) in both daily life as well as night. Thereby even in dreams they experience the soul's continual move to, and in, the living God.
That sensibility drives my present inquiry. Namely,
to what extent might dreams reflect a sacred wholeness -- the higher reaches of our spiritual life? ”
[Description]
As the title makes clear, our fifth Monograph explores "holy dreams." The quote provided sums up our focus.
Of course, there are more questions than answers about such issues. Of course, I welcome readers’ thoughts on the subject.

From Inquiry Series #1: Dreams Unto Holiness
"Terrific. Your software problems didn't bother me... this is so fresh, so original."
" I'm on my 7th reading... I've always attended to certain dreams, but your principle of turning to the Bible for guidance, keeping an eye on the spiritual sense of what you call the "rare" transcendent dream is totally new. "
" I've always thought some dreams are holy, but didn't look at them through a spiritual lens, now- looking back in this way, at the few dreams that stayed with me, really clarifies some choices I've made... your ideas encourage. Many thanks. "
" Many Thanks. Supports my Jungian training, but adds a new layer. I'll share the extras with colleagues. "
" I answer your metaphysical question with a Yes. The Holy Spirit certainly can (and does) pierce through our normal foggy mind-set at night to guide, comfort and encourage us... "
"... so grateful you've invested your time and intelligence in Monographs like these that give us (literally "give") us the keys to a richer, more intimate life in Christ, regardless of denominations. Thank you."
"I can't yet see where these Monographs are headed, but suspect that future generations will treasure them, use the ideas to spark their own dialogue. .. particularly appreciate being edified while also encouraged to think through my own answers. Some of these questions stay with me a long time..."
"Your mention of metaphysical friends who devalue dreams, reminds me of my own crowd of companions. The specific dreams and examples you've given us should heat up a lot of friendly discussion."
