BIBLIOGRAPHY

PREFACE BY PIERRE POLLA

Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Basel, Switzerland and Director of Psychiatric Unit based on Lausanne.

I had the opportunity and good fortune to meet Aggil Loupescou at an international convention of Psychiatry in Berlin during the early 1990s. After her presentation regarding the therapeutic inroads offered by dream analysis by means of hypnosis, I needed to revisit and read more carefully some works of my compatriot and great professor Carl Jung and reconsider the standard academic practice that does not deal positively with the parapsychological methods of research into the subconscious.

From our conversations in the corridors of the convention venue, I came to realise that I was dealing with a person who combined a well-founded expertise in the area of psychology with telepathic intuition, which I did not take long to assess during our next meetings, this time at the psychiatric unit at Lausanne, I have been managing for some years now.

We jointly studied many incurable mental diseases by means of hypnosis and dream analysis of a number of patients and we could transcend into their subconscious much moiré effectively and try new and original treatments. The result was incredible and I confess that I could not believe it, as I was bound to a rational education, that my own professor Carl Jung would not have forgiven me for, had he been still alive.

In this book (I had occasion to go through the translated original handwritten drafts) Aggil Loupescou presents the history of dream interpretation enriched by her personal telepathic dream experiences. At the same time, she outlines the basic principles of dream interpretation in a completely understandable manner. In this way she sheds light on a world which, although it is an integral part of our lives, we completely ignore. After reading this work, which I unreservedly recommend, you will come to understand the basic laws that determine the realm of sleep and get over the fears that its ignorance brings.

You will also realise that research by means of hypnosis of the subconscious of the dreamer can lead to the isolation of many forms of mental as well as physical diseases. It is a method that has been discussed in international fora for years and has made Aggil Loupescou known to the academic circles of Europe and USA.

Read through her work, and you will understand why I have reconsidered the classical academic psychoanalytic methods and adopted the alternative method of dream analysis by means of hypnosis, which the author is trying to introduce in the science of psychology.

PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR

The world of dreams is a uncanny world, a parallel reality written in code, which is typically ignored by its own creator, our self.

When the eyes shut and the tension of the day evaporates from the tired body, the consciousness of reality gives way to the kaleidoscope of imagination. Nothing is ‘impossible’ in this realm. Everything is possible provided our subconscious wants it. This is what determines how well we shall travel the world of dreams and which our mood will be when we wake up in the morning. The energy we will have then depends on our dreams, even if we do not remember them. A nightmare induces a bad mood, tension, irritability and negative energy that we many times cannot explain. On the contrary, a ‘good dream’ triggers a happy, positive mood. Psychoanalysis has reached the conclusion that we are what we dream. Our subconscious shapes our fantasy worlds and our imagination depends on that.

The world of dreams is our second live, the subterranean current of our existential ocean. In a lifetime of seventy years, we sleep it off for twenty-five and dream for five! Five years sequestered in our realm of fantasy where no one can follow us.

But this seemingly chaotic world carries its own messages for each of us. Decoding and interpreting dreams can make us wiser, knowledgeable about our subconscious, and therefore of our ego, and intuitive about the future, both our own as well as that of our fellow human beings.

This, dear reader, is the purpose of writing this book.

The present book is the fruit of my long-term experience with and handling of people who have asked me to help them solve some puzzles in their dreams with the help of my scientific expertise and my natural gift of intuition. My innate telepathic gift scared me when I came to realise it during my childhood. But I soon came to realise that it was a unique gift, which I should use for the good of my fellow human beings. But I did not stop there. Curiosity led me to the holy books of religions and the books of the wise of human civilisation so that I could learn what they thought about dreams and prophetic intuitive vision.

Thousands of pages have been written on dreams and many are the theories regarding their origin and even more about their interpretation. I review all that in Part I of this book so that the reader will realise the significance that the world of dreams has been accorded with by all civilisations, both ancient and modern, and come to terms with the fact that we can control our subconscious and become masters of dreams, get over some traumatic experiences and interpret messages for our future.

But even the scientific interpretation of dreams does not always offer satisfactory answers to certain questions, particularly as regards the benefits we may have from dreams in our personal life. It seems that having a spiritual guide on our side is essential to us, as millennium-old practices show.

CHAPTER 1 : Dreams in human civilisation

The significance of dreams became apparent quite soon among the ancient civilisations. Particular attention was then given to portents that referred not only to the personal but also the social level.

Before man discovered the individualistic view of society, the dream of a prominent and charismatic person was considered a portent about the wider destiny of that person’s tribe, because it was considered to be a sign sent from the gods, an epiphany, a revelation of the Fate as arranged by the gods.

In the first civilised societies, the kings as sons of gods, were the exclusive recipients of divine messages and the interpretation of dreams was carried out by priests – seers, knowledgeable in the symbols of divine language.

1. Dreams in the ancient civilisations of the Middle-East

For the Egyptians, dreams constituted the powers of the chaos, the foretaste of death. Gods that were invisible in daylight, even abstract ideas of a transcendental world could make their appearance during a particular dream. Therefore, because they believed that that the dreamer came in contact with invisible powers of a metaphysical world, an ominous dream was considered a warning for a future threat. On the other hand, Egyptians realised that in fact the person is vulnerable to the contacts of evil and hostile spirits. In order to be protected, and apart from the good spirits one could pray to before going to sleep, they used specially-made crescent-shaped headrests or pillows.

Of course the dreams of the Pharaohs were much more important than those of the commoners and for the this reason historical sources provide us with a plethora of prophesies and epiphanies that determined the destinies of the kingdom. Usually they portended the course of a decisive battle. Thus, Amenofis II (1450-1425 BC) saw Amon in his dream during a military campaign in the Middle East, something that occur the following day. This is the classic case of epiphany, during which the god promises victory to his chosen Pharaoh.

Herodotus’ narration of the dream of Pharaoh Seth (2, 141) is more widely known. When Senaherib led the Assyrian and Arab armies against Egypt, the Egyptian military refused to support the Pharaoh. Seth crying found refuge at the temple of god Ftha in Memphis, and the god appeared in his dream as a protector of his crown. The god revealed to him that he was going to help him if the Pharaoh decided to do battle against the invading army. Pharaoh succeeded in securing the help of simple citizens who
