Dr. Jim Kwako is interested in dreams, which he says are "not dreams in the usual sense of the word." People sometimes have dreams in which they communicate with deceased loved ones, or prophetic dreams that come true.
Or other kinds of dreams that leave a strong emotional or psychological mark on their lives. Some of Kwako's acquaintances solved mathematical problems in their sleep or found answers to other practical problems.
Kwako is a family physician based in Santa Barbara, California, and chairman of the American Holistic Medical Association. He personally encountered such unusual dreams.
One day he woke up with the words ringing in his head: "Help Rose." Rose is his sister's name. He later learned that Rose had experienced a terrible and traumatic event that night. He had another dream with a more mystical content.
He dreamed that he joined a group in prayer. One of the people said: "Let the light of all positive things fall on us and through us."
“It was a wonderful dream, it helped me a lot in life,” says Kwako. He says that the sensations were very realistic and he is sure that it was not his imagination or subconsciousness. He shared this experience and talked about the benefits that such dreams can bring at the IANDS - 2014 conference in Newport Beach, California.
1. Searching for answers to math problems

Kwako has a good friend, a physicist who worked in the defense industry. He had a talent for solving very complex mathematical problems. When he couldn't find a solution, he went to bed and then woke up with the answer, Kwako said.
"What happened when he went to bed?" - asks Kwako. “Did his mind connect with the subconscious, where all the information that he read in his life is stored? Or was he just talking to other people who helped him find the answer?"
2. Drawing up balances
Aunt Kwako worked in an insurance company in her youth. She had to do the balance at the end of the shift, and if it did not converge, then all the other workers had to stay after work to find out the reason. This often put her in an awkward position, because she was not getting balance sheets, and as a result, everyone had to stay.
Soon she began to have dreams in which she went to the office, looked at the notes and saw the allocated places. The next morning, she checked these places, and they were the problem.
In the end, it got to the point that even her boss began to say, “Five o'clock in the evening, she hasn't got the balance yet. Let's go home, let Tress do it in his sleep."
3. Improving relationships
Kwako talked about a woman who had a difficult relationship with her father due to being overbearing. In a dream, she was talking to him and saw his soft side. This helped her to discern these qualities in him and in real life. This dream changed her mind about her father and improved their relationship.
4. Warning
As with the phrase "help Rose," according to Kwako, many of these dreams contain a warning. They often come in the form of messages from deceased relatives. Many dreams of this type can also help alleviate the bitterness of loss.
