BOOK REVIEW SECTION FOR DREAMS - MY LAMP UNTO THE DARKNESS
By Walt Stover, MA
REVIEW NO 1 BY NORM GOLDMAN
Walt Stovers "Dreams My Lamp unto the Darkness" is an accessible must-read exploration of the mystical world of dreams and how they may be applied to improve your everyday living.
Stover has pulled together an impressive array of findings that are based on his more than 15,000 dreams that began in 1978 and that he documented in his own journal. In fact, his work with precognitive stock market dreams has been favorably referred to in several magazines. However, Stover warns us that investments based on dreams are inherently risky as dream interpretation is highly subjective containing many assumptions and uncertainties.
The book begins with a fascinating overview of many examples of historic precognitive dreams. We read about Hannibal’s dream of great victory, King Thutmose IV's dream of restoring the Sphinx, Napoleon� dream of his defeat at Waterloo, Elias Howe dream of his sewing machine invention, and Kekule's dream about Benzene.
Skeptics may point to science and say there is no rationale for these dreams as it is impossible to explain them using scientific guidelines. However, as Stover states, “when we move into the arena of intuition, precognition, or psychic behavior we leave behind the familiar comfortable boundaries of the hard sciences where rigid adherence to specific rules dominate.” The paranormal deals with events that cannot be explained based on rules and the laws of physical science. Thus, if you are to gain something from this book, it is necessary to come with an open-mind and put aside the scientific method that we are accustomed to in explaining various phenomena.
After treating us to an exposé of historical dreams, Stover delves into his own psychic dreams and precognition that have played a significant part of his life over the course of many years. These dreams have provided him with a great deal of information in all aspects of his life including career guidance, improvements to his health, and substantial investment gains. Stover divides his dreams into three categories psychic, informative, and precognitive and he explains with examples how each work.
A complete chapter is devoted to developing intuition that Stover breaks down into meditation, your physical diet, the mental diet, exercise and walking meditation, recording your dreams, Yoga exercises, guided visualizations, guessing games, following hunches, synchronicity-there are no accidents, free or rapid reading, idea trees. Stover’s caveat in his conclusion to this chapter is quite noteworthy wherein he counsels his readers not to give one’s entire life over to these practices but rather to recognize and develop intuitive skills that will be used in concert with the rational mind to reach a balanced decision.
The remaining chapters of the book include dream interpretation, dream recall and incubation and major dream areas as career guidance, health and healing and stock market dreams. There is a complete section devoted to the Precognitive Stock Market Dream Group that Stover formed in 1998, after experiencing several dreams pertaining to the stock market. This group has twenty-two members scattered across Australia, Canada and the USA who share via email their dreams they have experienced concerning a wide variety of financial subjects including stocks, commodities and general market activity.
The mixing of personal story with extensive research makes this book a worthy read as well as a strong contribution to the growing number of literature pertaining to a subject matter that at times has proven to be quit controversial due to its many unanswered questions.

REVIEW No 2 By Robin Glasco, Colorado
For anyone interested in the study of dreams this book is a must read. The author covers all aspects of dreams including methods of incubating and recalling dreams, dream interpretation, and applying dreams to all aspects of your life, including health, romance, and finance.
Based on his own study and personal recording of dreams for over 20 years, and also the dreams of others, the author has documented a large number of precognitive incidents.
The study of Edgar Cayce and the principles put forth by the A.R.E. figure largely in this work and demonstrate that while the future is not set in stone, trends and generalities can be accurately forecast and sometimes individual events are shown to dreamers with amazing accuracy. An in-depth study with many references to other study material, this book will help the user to make full use of the 1/3 of his life spent in slumber and raises many intriguing questions to ponder.
REVIEW NO 3 By Amber Silverstar. Los Angeles, Ca
For sometime now, I keep dreaming about the stock market - symbols, precognition, story lines, warnings, and actual investment opportunities. After having documented these dreams for several years, I found an article about stock market dreams in a magazine called Venture Inward published by the Edgar Cacye Foundation. A man named Walt Stover had written this amazing article dealing with a group called the Precognitive Stock Market Dream Group which Mr. Stover had started.
At the time, I did not own a computer, so I contacted Mr. Stover by phone and shared the stories of my own history of stock market dreams, clairvoyant messages, and channeling from Mr. Cayce. I will not at this time go into how my stock market dreams and an introduction to Mr. Cayce, the famous sleeping prophet began, except to say that part of it happened when a book about Mr. Cayce called There is A River (*by Thomas Sugrue) fell off a library shelf in a friend's home and hit me in the head.
From this time forward, I found more and more about Edgar Cacye and his incredible gifts of prophecy, intuition and medical healings. I also received extra sensory messages about the stock market. Since I knew very little about this financial world nor did I hold any investments, I kept trying to understand why all this information would appear to me. That is until I read Mr. Stover's article. I would like to say I jumped on the band wagon and joined the dream group right away. But I did not. In fact, I only joined a couple of years ago after much prayer and thought that I had a responsibility to share this information with others and through the group had been given an opportunity to do so.
Now Walt Stover, who has a Bachelors in Chemistry Engineering and a Masters in Transpersonal Studies, has written a book, newly released by Hudson Publishing called Dreams, My Lamp Unto The Darkness. This amazing book chronicles Mr. Stover's astonishing life in which dreams and the dreaming world provide him with fascinating information. This information Mr. Stover then interprets and uses as guidance for successes in his career, in maintaining an energetic and healthy lifestyle, and you guessed it, in doing quite well for himself in the stock market.
This avid, professional and precise dream enthusiast has taken over 15,000 documented dreams of his own, a long trail of precognition, and the articulate experience of his scholarship and crafted an interesting, thought provoking, and knowledgeable book. The book itself takes you along a personal and unique journey into the subconscious to uncover some of the mysteries of the dream world.
Dreams, My Lamp Unto The Darkness can easily be read by "the lay person." However, this is not an easy read nor a one night stand - because there is so much to absorb about such a complex subject, the reader will want to return again and again. Parts of the book are a scholarly review about the history of dreaming and how famous dreams of famous people have changed, influenced and guided decisions of historical figures for thousands of years. Since I have studied dream histories, this information is not new but still worthwhile as a clarifier and a review of the importance of dreams in the histories of humankind.
The part I like best about the book are the personal examples Mr. Stover uses to tell the tale of precognition dreams and the successes he has in using those dreams in just about all areas of his life. I am not sure I necessarily agree with "you must do this or that" in order to incubate, recall or interpret your own dreams as he suggest. Although, I do recognize the importance of having some "how to" guidance from someone as experienced and professional as Mr. Stover. This section is especially helpful to the beginning dream developer.
Enough said, I really do highly recommend this new book as well written, fascinating, and a "must have" for anyone who has an interest in knowing, understanding and exploring their own dreams. Oh yes, the Precognitive Stock Market Dream Group and their documentations of stock market dreams are in a wonderful chapter that will only begin to make you more and more curious about the process of precognition, the stock market and your own ability to dream of financial possibilities.
The book comes with strong endorsements by two major leaders; Dr. Henry Reed and Dr. Mark Thurston of the Edgar Cayce Foundation. For more information about the Foundation, the Association of Research and Enlightenment, Venture Inward and Edgar Cayce, you can long onto http://www.edgarcayce.com.
