(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos discovered a small lump in her breast and went to see her doctor. He told her not to worry-the lump posed no threat.
That night, she dreamed that a spirit gave her a white feather, took her hand, placed it on her breast, and said, “You have cancer right here. Feel it? Go back to your doctor tomorrow. Don’t wait for an appointment!“
Kathleen insisted that the doctor do more tests. The lump was found to be stage-2 aggressive ductile carcinoma (cancer).
Kathleen’s experiences with warning dreams are described in her best-selling book Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of Healing, on the NBC News segment Sneaky Medical Billing, and Coast to Coast AM Radio with host George Noory.
Kathleen was one of twenty women featured in the article “Warning Dreams Preceding the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer: A Survey of the Most Important Characteristics” by Larry Burk, M.D., published in the May-June 2015 issue of Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing.
The study reported that warning dreams of breast cancer were often life-changing experiences that prompted medical attention leading directly to diagnosis. The most common characteristics of the dreams were:
- A sense of conviction about their importance;
- The dreams were more vivid, real, or intense than ordinary;
- An emotional sense of threat or dread;
- The use of the specific words “breast cancer/tumor”; and
- The sense of physical contact with the breast.
Kathleen learned that paying attention to your dreams and asserting yourself can save your life.
“You know when a dream is prophetic if you can validate it with facts. I often told my doctors, “Prove me wrong.” The tests they performed to prove me wrong proved I was right and validated my dreams.
It’s important to remember your dreams, pay attention to your intuition, and write down the images you see.
Write your dreams in a dream journal that you keep beside your bed. If you have a daytime vision or waking-dream episode, write it down. “I had dreams, seven years apart, that the doctors were wrong, not just once but twice. Each time a different dream told me to go back to the doctor and insist on more tests. I’m alive today because I paid attention to those dreams.”
Kathleen offers additional tips on how to remember your dreams:
- Verbally voice your intention to remember your dreams before you go to sleep.
- Keep a notebook beside your bed; when you wake, write down what you remember-whatever it is. If you’re still having trouble remembering, lie back down in bed in the same position you were in when you woke up, and try to remember anything at all.
- If a dream is still elusive, write down your feelings-happy, sad, frightened, content, anxious, etc.
- Write down a color that pops into your head while trying to remember the dream.
- Give your dream a title, even if it’s “The Dream Without a Name.” If some part of the dream returns during the day, jot it down and add it to your dream journal later.
- If you’re thinking about a deceased family member when you wake, chances are good that you did see them. They can give guided information. Sometimes family members are permitted to return from the other side to guide us during times of crisis or trauma. We don’t just dream about them-we’re interacting with them. They may even appear different to us, but they’ll say or do something to let us know who they are.
- Over time, dreams will become longer as you begin to interface with yourself and your guides. We all have guides. We are their job. Meeting yours in your dreams is a wonderful step to a more rewarding life.
Kathleen says, “Work with your doctors, financiers, coworkers, bosses, and family, but always remember that the final decisions are yours. Listen to your dreams, make better choices and live a more fulfilling life.”
