Sleep is more important than many of us make time for. It is estimated that over 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia and other kinds of sleep disorders. Sleep is essential for a healthy living. Its not only important to make time for the necessary 8 hours of sleep each night, but also to have deep and quality sleep to truly reap the healing benefits.

The benefits of a health amount of sleep are endless. When your body is relaxed and immobile during deep sleep, your body can repair and replenish itself from the days activities. From reducing stress to repairing your immune system. Many studies indicate that sleep helps us build up our immune systems, prevent heart disease and cancer.

There are not only physical benefits of a good nights rest, but mental ones as well. Sleep has shown to improve memory, enhance creativity. Being well rested keeps you focused, sharp and alert. A healthy sleeping habit also helps prevent depression.

With the countless positive benefits of sleep, still so many people suffer from lack of sleep or insomnia. With today’s lifestyle it is increasingly difficult to fall asleep or get the quality of sleep your body and mind needs.

In Dr. Aretoula Fullam’s report on Sleep Disorder Insomnia and the Mental Exercise Sleep Control, you will find Dr. Fullham’s research and findings on the physical and mental effects of insomnia, and how insomnia patients are currently treated. Dr. Fullham also explains the Silva Sleep Control technique and how it benefits insomnia patients and how it can work for you.

Here are some inspiring stories from people who could sleep better and could get better out of themselves.

Helped Overcome Severe Insomnia



“The Silva audio is very good. At present I suffer from insomnia. I sleep 3 – 4 hours per night. The audio is helping me sleep more and reduce [dependency] on the tablets that I take. You have the option to tell your readers about the powerful tablets that I had to take. I took two tablets each of 2mg Flunitrazepan (open a pharmacist book and read about the composition). My doctor told that dying patients receive such a dose. The chemist told me it’s the most powerful drug available. A friend said, ‘Samuel, what you take can put a horse to sleep!”. Insomnia is a nightmare. I will be very glad if peoplewill use your program to overcome their health problems.”

Programmed dreams offer a breakthrough in medical and psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. I first learned the technique from the Silva training in September, 1969, and I have been using it ever since.

You may have heard about problems being solved or discoveries being made during sleep or during the dream-state. These mostly are sporadic events, in which people just happen to awaken with a bright idea.

The programmed dream is different. It gives us the ability to awaken with that bright idea or solution to a problem, any night, at will.

You do not have to be a yogi and meditate for 50 years in a cave to achieve enlightenment. When you fall asleep you reach just as deep a level of consciousness – but you are unaware of this state and how to use it.

Utilizing the techniques, you will be able to spend one minute prior to going to bed to formulate a question, and one minute when you awaken to retrieve the answer.

There are two techniques I use, and more are taught in the Silva training program. The first technique is to decide to have a dream about a problem, and decide that the interpretation of the dream will reveal the answer. You further must decide to awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down.

The second technique is to decide the mind will work on a particular problem throughout sleep, and that when you awaken, your first thought will be the answer.

I will focus mainly on examples – so you will begin to grasp the magnitude of what programmed dreams enable us to do. Programmed dreams are very valuable and are well worth the effort to learn.

One of my hospitalized patients, for example, suddenly developed excruciating chest and abdominal pain. The internal medicine specialist thought it might be either a heart attack or a kidney infection – and he suggested transferring her to a medical facility. After persuading him to wait until morning, I told the lady – who was a good dreamer – that she had better have a dream that would tell her exactly what it was, where it was, how she got it, why she got it, and exactly what to do.

She also programmed that I would be able to interpret the dream for her. You can program that you will be able to interpret your own dream – and then you only will have dreams that you will be able to interpret. In this case, she programmed that I would be able to interpret her dream, and oddly enough, I immediately knew the interpretation – even though it was highly complex. It is possible that I understood because that is what she programmed.

In her dream, she and her husband were driving along a winding road where they should not have gone. Then in the dream it began to snow, the snow got deeper and deeper, the car veered off the road and it was covered over with snow. Just beyond where the car went off the road, the road came to a dead end and went into another road at right angles, and then into another road at right angles, and then into another road at right angles leading to the final destination. To me this was an anatomical roadmap of the intestinal tract, with an obstruction at the ileocecal junction. But I didn’t tell her this. Instead I asked if she would please draw the roadmap for me. She did, and it even was in correct proportion! The winding road corresponded to the small intestine, the dead-end the cecum. At a right angle to the small intestine was the ascending colon, leading at a right angle to the transverse colon, and then at another right angle the descending colon.

As soon as the car was covered over with snow, her husband said I have to cut off the engine.” The first thing one does for an intestinal obstruction is shut off the fuel supply, the food intake. Then five or ten people came from the city to dig them out. Five or ten in dreams represents the fingers on two hands, and I did not know if this meant laying on of hands or surgery. When they were dug out, she and her husband were OK but the three teenage children were gone. They were the reason for the obstruction. She wanted more of her husband’s attention for herself.

Intestinal obstruction is an acute surgical emergency, so I immediately transferred her to a surgical hospital. Before she left I warned her you better have a dream that will get you over this problem – otherwise they will be cutting you open.”

At the surgical hospital the diagnosis was confirmed, based on x-ray findings of fluid levels in the gut, and blood electrolyte studies. Surgery was scheduled, and she took a nap to program another dream.

In this dream she saw a tall dark man, wearing a turban – like from the Punjab section of Northeastern India – and he was massaging her abdomen. When she awakened, the obstruction was gone!

To the non-dream programmer, these two dreams must sound like something out of Alice in Wonderland. But I am only reporting data, and I draw no conclusions about the data.

I further learned that 20 years earlier a surgeon had performed an operation on this lady for intestinal obstruction. I called the surgeon and asked where in the intestinal tract was the obstruction. He answered the distal portion of the ileum.” The ileocecal junction is the distal most part of the ileum.
