"My experience with Dream Yoga and Joe Dillard has been nothing short of amazing to me. It is impossible to relate all I have gained in the two years I have actively pursued this form of insightful work. But, to the point, I can share that this process has profoundly aided my recovery from debilitating anxiety and phobias.
Rather than seeking external counsel and all the "outside voices" ready to provide me with their version of a "cure," I was able to tap into my own innate wisdom. And using that wisdom was far more helpful than I would dared to expect--far more helpful than previous long years in other therapies.
My sense is that because I was able to work so intimately and directly with my own mind--as opposed to mechanically working on my behavior or emotions alone--the therapeutic impact was integrated much more naturally, deeply, and fully. Even after two years, I am astounded by the increasing depth of information, accurate guidance, and the daily relevance to be found in my dream work. Unlike any encyclopedic approach or external interpretations, Dream Yoga is far more personalized and workable. I know I will continue to benefit from this approach for the rest of my life."

"Toini and I have been working on our dreams with Joe for about four months and we have each worked with four or five dreams using this process. Each time we are amazed at how much depth and insight comes out of this process. The phone conversation takes bout 90 minutes in which we tell Joe our dreams and then pick out about six characters or objects, that represent some aspect of our selves, to interview. These six are then asked their views on the issues that we are dealing with in our daily lives at this time. Some of the dream objects that seem to have little meaning when we relate the dream in the beginning, often come up with a new view or insight regarding issues that we are dealing with. For example I had a dream that included inflatable rafts on a river. At the end of the session it became clear that they represented my tendency to only deal with some issues on the surface and not at a more meaningful and in depth manner.
This process is proving very helpful in enriching our marriage of 24 years as well as on individual issues. Joe is very good at helping us dig deeper and get meaning out of dreams that are initially rather obscure. His patient suggestions and questions help us to find meaning and guidance from dreams that come from our own inner sources."

"Just a few days ago I had a life-changing dream which was a profound experience of touching and being touched by the mind of Gautama Buddha, revealing universal mind beyond all..... , that inner event has been powerful fuel for my meditation practice, deeply inspiring and encouraging, and a very valuable broadening counter-point to my mainly Christ-oriented spiritual practice. I know the dreamwork with (and support from) Joseph --which has often focused on some painful and difficult imagery-- was important fertilizing/mulching of my soil for that precious seed to suddenly spring forth bearing such fruit. Wonderful transpersonal space and actualizing energy continuing to release; integral to the inner dialogue of dreamwork: listening, healing and acceptance of the many parts of me as I am changing."

"I have been involved with Dream Yoga for about three months now, and I have found this work to be very effective, very powerful, and fun. I use the dream groups on an ongoing basis to deal with issues or questions that come up in my life. They offer me a greater perspective, and an excellent opportunity to really see where I stand on a given issue, as well as helpful advice towards resolution. Another benefit I have discovered is that rejected parts of myself can naturally, organically be acknowledged and accepted back into myself - similar to soul retrieval - so that I am more whole. And finally, using this method allows me to get in touch with my inner child, the imaginative, playful part of myself, so that life becomes lighter and more fun.
I highly recommend this work for anyone who find themselves with issues that nothing seems to get around, whether involving financial freedom, love, spiritual development, or physical health issues. The only requirement is that you are willing to listen to the healer, the therapist, the teacher within yourself and to confront your resistances to growth, honestly and lovingly. This is a way in which many other methods fall short. We use our own dreams, the voice of our own unconscious, to tap directly into our own inner wisdom, to our true core issues that we often canŐt face any other way, and find the loving support of our own inner being."
