Presenting the work of Henry Reed, PhD
Henry Reed, Ph.D. has worked for thirty years to understand
how we can release our potential for extraordinary experience and creative living. He has
pioneered in research on dreams, intuition, and special consciousness.
Beginning with his doctoral research at U.C.L.A., he
pursued unusual investigative possibilities in the laboratory and beyond. He pursued a
hint from Sherlock Holmes to discover how we can improve our memory by learning to
intentionally forget unnecessary information.
When he began his work as an Assistant Professor of
Psychology at Princeton University, he conducted the first experiment on helping people to
improve their memory for dreams. He employed a unique classroom methodology in this work
and it was published in the Jounral of Humanistic Psychology in 1974. Soon, his work with
dreams took him beyond the laboratory, out into more natural settings. While at the C.G.
Jung Institute he was inspired to revive in contemporary form the indigenous ritual of
dream incubation, and proved that the gods speak to us in dreams just as in days of old.
The Journal of Humanistic Psychology published that work in 1976.
For several years in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Henry
administered a special project with the City's Art Center, to show that students,
teachers, and professionals in the art community can enhance their work through dreams.
Henry had his own one man show displaying the watercolor paintings he produced through
unusual methodologies shown to him in his dreams.
In his book, Night and Day, Jack McGuire writes:
"By common agreement, the father of the modern dreamwork movement is Henry
Reed."
McGuire writes of Dr. Reed's innovative publication that made dream work
expertise available to the general public: Sundance: The Community Dream Journal.
Today, Dr. Reed's dream workbook and video are used in
college classrooms and private homes to enhance personal lives and professional careers.
The insights into the nature of creative consciousness that
dreams provided to Dr. Reed led him to the study of intuition. His discovery of the
Intuitive Heart has provided a new basis for people to recognize the natural
intuition that lies within them. His methods are simple and universal, making it possible
for enthusiasts to share these techniques with others. His work on intuition is providing
material for teachers everywhere. Dr. Reed has recently expanded his work to train
teachers in his exciting methods of releasing human potential.
Today, Henry's work is available to all through a rich
collection of booklets, books, videos and audio cassettes. His teaching materials are not
just for passive reading, but invite participation and experimentation. The theme that
flows through all his work is that it guides the individual to find his or her own points
of inspiration and guidance
