Bhaskar Banerji considers himself an ambassador from the dream world. Without dreams he would be completely lost in this uncertain journey of life. Almost every major career change has been initiated by dreams, both big and small. Dreams have helped him navigate illness and maybe even prevented a few. On his travels around the globe, dreams have kept him safe. Dreams have consistently pointed out his blind spots and weaknesses thus facilitating his psychological evolution. Dreams have provided him with hope and guidance in times of despair. They have revealed to him who is a true friend as well as who is foe.  From this list, it should be clear that he really depends on dreams for both physical survival and psychological well-being.

Bhaskar Banerji obtained his Masters & PhD degrees at JFK and Saybrook Universities respectively studying such topics as Dreams and the Body, Lucid Dreaming, Cross Cultural Dreaming, Content Analysis of Dreams, and Dream Interpretation. Lately he has focused on investigating the relationship between illness and dreams. Can dreams forewarn us of impending disease? Can they prescribe treatments for those who are ill? Can they tell us whether our current course of treatment will succeed in restoring our health? Can they guide us in the direction of health and wellness? These are some of the issues that we will be discussing today.
