This week's issue of Dream of the Week: Groundhog Day -Life Imitates Dreams-

This week's issue of Dream of the Week (www.dreamoftheweek.com) takes a probing look at the movie Groundhog Day. Berkeley Dream analyst David Jenkins, PhD, examines the movie and shows how similar it is to the way a recurring dream gets resolved.

Dealing With Recurring Dreams
The first step is knowing that you have a theme in your dream life. In Groundhog Day, the problem is made very literal and obvious – Murray relives the same day. Dreams are more obscure. Even when you are dealing with the same issue over and over, each dream can appear to be unique.

You might dream on one night that a bridge has been washed away in a flood; another night, the car in front of yours has stopped, and on a third night you are waiting for a traffic light to change. All can be seen as dreams about impasses even though each particular impasse is different.
