“…Many Native American traditions attributed similar properties to sacred sites, such as encounters with spiritual agencies during nighttime dreaming (Krippner and Thompson 1996), a conception shared by traditional cultures in Europe and other parts of the world. In commenting on these traditions, Paul Devereux has suggested treating prehistory as analogous to the human unconscious; "sacred places, it is suggested, may be those [that] yield greater information than secular ones; [they may be] locations where information is received more effectively by the unconscious mind" (1997:527).…”

This article discusses preliminary data on advancing what we know about "sacred sites" and their effects on dreaming. Thirty-five volunteers spent between one and five nights in one of four unfamiliar outdoor sacred sites in England and Wales. Another volunteer awakened them following the observation of rapid eye movement and asked for dream recall. The same volunteers monitored their own dreams in familiar home surroundings, keeping dream diaries. Equal numbers of site dreams and home dream reports were obtained for each volunteer. The 204 dream reports had previously been subjected to inspection for bizarre and paranormal content, with no significant differences. This analysis used the Hall-Van de Castle Scale, and several differences were found, most notably more aggressive content in site dreams and more friendly content in home dreams. In addition, home dream reports contained more incidences of failure, striving, and success. A number of 2

“…Munroe, Nerlove, & Daniels, 1969) supported the contention championed by Alfred Adler (1938), Calvin Hall (Hall & Nordby, 1972), and others that dream life mirrors waking life. If this is the case, the CSSS could be used to study the spiritual development of historical and contemporary personages who have reported spiritually transformative experiences, the spiritual states of clients undergoing transpersonally-oriented psychotherapy or counseling, the incidence of spiritual dream content in certain demographic groups, and cross-cultural studies of spiritual activity and interest (e.g., Heinze, 1991;Krippner & Thompson, 1996). As a result, the scattered anecdotes about dream reports that seem to have been triggers to spiritually transformative experiences can yield insights into the nature of spiritual transformation even if they occurred in different times and places, different eras and different locations.…”

Spiritual experiences are a potent means by which a person's attitudes and behaviors may be changed, usually (but not always) in benevolent ways. This article presents examples from various times and places, many from the annals of organized religion. Research into spiritually transformative experiences is reviewed as is a means to measure spiritual content in written or verbal reports: the Casto Spirituality Scoring System. This instrument includes subscales regarding spiritual settings, spiritual objects, spiritual characters, spiritual emotions, spiritual activities, and spiritual experiences. The reliability of the system has been examined and found to be quite high. In addition, the system has been useful clinically when spirituality becomes an issue in counseling or psychotherapy.

“…Deward Walker (1996), in describing the efficacy of sacred sites, employs the concept “portal to the sacred.” These portals are trans-dimensional and cross-temporal “such that they become sacred times and spaces” to members of various cultural groups, even those separated in time (p. 63). Many Native American traditions attributed similar properties, such as encounters with spiritual agencies, to nighttime dreaming (Krippner & Thompson, 1996), a conception shared by traditional cultures in Europe. Muslims have a tradition of incubating dreams at temples and tomb sites of Islamic saints (Crapanzano, 1975), and Muhammed offered suggestions about how to approach sleep in a state of ritual purity (Bulkeley, 2002).…”

Thirty-five volunteers spent between one and five nights in one offour unfamiliar outdoor "sacred sites" in England and Wales where they were awakenedfollowing rapid eye movement periods and asked for dream recall. They also monitored their dreams in familiar home surroundings, keeping dream diaries. Equal numbers of site dreams and home dream reports were obtained for each volunteer. Two judges, working blind and independently, evaluated each of the resulting 206 dream reports, using the Strauch Scale which contains criteria for identifying "bizarre," "magical," and "paranormal" elements. Of the 103 site dream reports, 46 fell into one of these categories, versus 31 of the home dream reports. A number of explanations exist for this difference, including expectancy, suggestion, the effect of unfamiliar surroundings, the nature of the volunteers' awakenings, and possible anomalous properties of the sacred sites. The latter possibility, however, is unlikely due to the fact the 22 volunteers reported site dreams containing Strauch Scale items, while 20 reported home dreams containing these content items, a minimal difference.
