The Golden Dream Key
You probably came to this web site looking for the golden dream key because you have a particular interest in your dreams. You realize a key opens something and you are hoping it will unlock your understanding of dreams. Dreams give us personal access to inner wisdom about ourselves physicaly, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Continued use of a personal golden dream key will open the door to improve day-to-day living for any seeker. Learning to interpret dreams helps you gain insight needed to make better choices enabling you to change the direction of your present course in this lifetime. 
So where can you find this key? You already have the key in your possession—it is located within the heart—it is love. Love for God or a higher power, is your personal golden key. This love is the key that inspires us to want to communicate with God through prayer, meditation or contemplation.
When doing daily prayer, meditation or
contemplation we can communicate with God. Dreams are another of the ways God uses to communicate with the individual. Yes, dreams are how God speaks to us.
Dreams are the forgotten language of God, a foreign language. Most dreams come in bits and pieces of unidentifiable information that just seems too difficult to interpret, thus many individuals genereally don't bother to spend any time doing so.
Unless we have a dream that we can easily understand we pretty much ignore the rest of the dream messages. Think of it. God is speaking—sending helpful guidance and we ignore this inner communication.
Therefore, it's important we pursue a course of dream study to become aware of this marvelous inner connection with this source of divine love that speaks to us in the language of our dreams.
The golden dream key not only opens the door to the threshold so we can cross over into the world of dreams, this love key also unlocks a yearning—a desire to know more about this fascinating subject of dreams, so we can listen to God.
Now is the time to get started with the basic steps to enable you to recognize what dreams are telling you. If I can do it, so can you!
If you would like to try doing a visualization technique to get hold of the golden key, go to Visualization.

Dreams Designed by God
for You
My book on dreams has received the iUniverse publisher’s editor’s choice award and a four out of five star rating from a Foreword Clarion Professional Book Reviewer. In this book on dreams, I share with you what I’ve learned from others and what I created for myself in order to make dream study not only informative but interesting and fun.
From the Preface: "My dreams continue to be fun, beneficial, and spiritually rewarding. Each waking day and every sleeping night is an exciting excursion into the wonderful world of dream understanding. Because of dream study, I have learned the art of spiritual awareness from the symbolism of my sleeping and waking life. And you can too!
This book is about my personal journey from novice to expert regarding my own dreams. The tips, tools, techniques, and insight I’ve learned over sixty years I share with you. You may not totally agree with some things in the book.
That’s okay—I offer what I’ve learned as a guideline to assist you in your pursuit to dream awareness. Take whatever feels comfortable and use it or modify it to your liking.
This book is not only about my experiences, as it is also a study/workbook that can open your heart and mind to understand the true purpose of your existence as well as uncover helpful advice to change your life for the better. Happy dreaming! "
From the Introduction: "One third of our life is spent sleeping—during which time we dream. We dream on the average of one to two hours a night and we often have more than one dream.
The first recorded dream interpretations were documented on clay tablets around 3000 BC which is proof that dreams were, and still are, considered a valuable source of beneficial information to the dreamer who can interpret them.
This is a hands-on study workbook intended to make it easy for you to remember, interpret, and understand the messages of guidance received from your dreams, both sleeping and waking dreams."

Dreaming a Better Life
Dream Interpretation Offers Insight to Improve, Enhance Waking Hours
PENNSYLVANIA – You’ve just awakened from a strange, fascinating dream and can’t help but wonder, “What does that really mean?” Dreams Designed by God for You (published by iUniverse) by Betty Jane Rapin teaches how to interpret dreams and translate their meaning into positive changes in daily life. With one-third of our lives spent sleeping – and dreaming – this book will awaken the reader to the power behind their own dreams.
Rapin first became interested in her study when as a child, her father would ask about her own dreams. She has fostered the study of dreams throughout her life and now shares over 60 years of experience. While Rapin does not claim to be an expert in the study of others’ dreams, she does carry a great deal of knowledge in the revelation of her own. She hopes the personal experiences she shares in Dreams Designed by God for You will aid others in discovering the symbolism and meaning in their own dreams.
While dreams occur in our subconscious, they can have a real and meaningful impact on our waking lives. By seeking a deeper understanding of her dreams, Rapin has been richly rewarded with guidance for physical healing, emotional stability and mental clarity. Readers can apply this own knowledge to help them see the relation dreams have in several areas of their lives and learn how to approach life in a new and rewarding manner.
Encouraging her readers to “become a kid at heart,” Rapin approaches dream study with a passion for the search. The text entices with rich detail of 140 personal stories and contains an engaging, simple outline which includes the purpose and function of dreams, as well as the meaning of dreams. Also included are detailed accounts of how dreams have helped the author. A Study Aid Section is provided to help the reader in their hands-on learning experience as they develop their ability to remember, interpret and understand the messages received in their dreams.
Rapin has been taught by teachers, angels, saints, spiritual guides and spiritual masters throughout her personal journey of discovery. Fortunately, she shares all and holds nothing back from the reader, who will be able to successfully embark upon a discovery of their own dreams.

“Dreams come to teach, guide, inspire, protect, heal, warn, advise, and help open our hearts and minds to spiritual viewpoints,” Betty Jane Rapin writes in Dreams Designed by God For You.
In this comprehensive book about interpreting and understanding dreams, Rapin offers many tools to help readers learn about themselves. Divided into four parts, the book is full of detailed and hands-on activities to help readers start the process of interpreting their dreams.
Rapin begins with the basics, explaining what dreams are, how they are related to waking life, and how they can be remembered. She also gives historical background on dreaming in various cultures. As the book progresses, specific examples and assignments are offered to readers. For example, Rapin gives a visualization exercise that can be used as a technique to recall dreams. She provides ways for readers to create “dreaming rooms,” and tells them how to wear “telescope glasses” and attain “memory accuracy.”
The book also includes information about what different symbols may mean. Separate sections focus on more specific sub-topics, such as pets and people in dreams, names, numbers, plants, and more. In the section of the book that discusses numerology Rapin includes a chart that readers can use to figure out the number associations that go with names, and determine what these names may signify.
One of the unique aspects of this dream book is the inclusion of many thought- provoking worksheets and “assignments.” Rapin offers exercises on dream word associations, goal-setting charts, dream questionnaires, and progress reports to track ongoing dreams. Part four of the book is full of these types of worksheets, which are to be used as study aids to refine dream awareness.
While the book is quite long and at times overly detailed, its organization and the author’s careful research makes up for its lengthiness. Dreams Designed by God For You is a worthwhile book for those seeking to learn more about their dream life.
As Rapin writes, “A dream is not a fantasy, but a personal journey into your past, present, and future created especially for you the dreamer. Your world of dreams is as real as the place you are now, as you read this book.”
