DREAM EXPERT, ALAN SIEGEL, PH.D. STARS
IN DREAM DECODERS
A NEW SERIES FROM
DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL
Dr. Alan Siegel, author of
DREAM WISDOM, will interpret a wide variety of dreams
to unlock the messages and creative possibilities of the world of
dreams and demonstrate how dreams can guide us through stresses and
life transitions and help us solve problems.
Here are some samples:
Peter is chased by a can of tomato paste.
Shannon discovers she’s a headless fish. Mary’s teeth are falling out.
These may sound like scenes from a science fiction movie, but each
bizarre event is real to the person experiencing it—the dreamer.
Each night, whether memorable or not, the
average person has four to five dreams. But what do these dreams mean?
And what do they tell us about ourselves? Discovery Health
Channel unlocks the deepest secrets of the subconscious with
the premiere of DREAM DECODERS.
In this enlightening three-part series, three of
the world’s top dream analysts who are the “Dream Decoders”—
Dr. Alan Siegel, Dr. Veronica Tonay, Dr. Marcia Emery, and Dr. Edward
Bruce Bynum — help participants and viewers understand the messages of
their dreams to foster greater emotional and psychological health.
Dreams often tell us what’s going on in our
lives and help us cope with the emotional stages of our day-to-day
experiences. Many of the dreams featured on the show are common and
universal dreams. Whether being chased, falling or having our
teeth fall out, these dreams are put into perspective on DREAM
DECODERS.
DREAM DECODERS is filmed in front of a
live-studio audience on a special “dream tank” set. Each episode
evaluates the dreams of three or four people from different walks
of life. With the help of host Steve Truitt, they share their most
private, often recurring, dream or nightmare through verbal
explanations and brief video re-creations. The Dream Decoders
interview the dreamers about their personal experiences and current
life challenges to uncover hidden clues in the depths of their
psyches. The Decoders analyze these clues and offer their individual
analysis to crack the dream code, giving the dreamers startling
insight into their waking lives.
Throughout each hour, cameras follow
participants off-stage to capture their candid thoughts about the
Dream Decoders’ feedback. Also in episodes, Truitt turns the cameras
on the studio audience – for the “enlightening round” – allowing
studio members to relate their dreams and get a brief analysis
from one of the Dream Decoders.
Each Dream Decoder has a different background
and approach. Dr. Veronica Tonay is a renowned Jungian
psychoanalyst and top-selling author who has researched dreams,
creativity and personality for more than 20 years. Dr. Alan Siegel, is
an assistant clinical professor at the University of California at
Berkeley, an internationally known psychotherapist and author, and a
pioneer in the field of dream study. Dr. Marcia Emery is a
psychologist, an author, and the country’s foremost expert in
intuition. And special guest Decoder, Dr. Edward Bruce Bynum is a
clinical psychologist, family therapist, author and director of the
Behavioral Medicine and Biofeedback Clinic at the University of
Massachusetts Health Services.
DREAM DECODERS promises to be one of the
