Astrology and Personality, his Doctoral Dissertation, is published by Lambert Academic Publishing out of Germany. Dr. Lennox and Mirjam discuss many fascinating topics including how to manifest your desired reality with dreamwork. Some people may dismiss dreams as mere figments of the imagination, but they actually hold significant meaning and can even influence our reality. Because they operate at a level below conscious awareness, our dreams provide a unique portal to the workings of our subconscious mind, the hidden powerhouse where the information, beliefs, and experiences that shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions are stored.  Through dream work, we can explore the subconscious beliefs that are holding us back from achieving our desires. We can also consciously use our dreams to program our subconscious with positive beliefs and intentions and actively participate in manifesting our desired outcomes.
