Most people don't realize their dreams can be their midnight therapist. Tyris Elijah Henry III realized this theory shortly after his father suddenly died in 2006. Since then, the author has had tons of vivid and lucid dreams which ultimately assisted him in healing his mind and broken spirit from the trauma of grief. In My Midnight Therapist, the author also experienced passionate dreams about love, desire, and wish fulfillment. In college, the author took a class called Psychology of Dreams when he was a student at The New School University, and he credits his understanding of his dreams from this class, and from his former professor and mentor Dr. Patricia Simko. Tyris began recording his personal dreams in a journal and analyzing them using Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung's dream interpretations. The author wants the reader to examine each dream as a case study, and then interpret those dreams using Freudian, Jungian, and their own personal theories to understand what the author is feeling. Tyris admires the theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud, and the film Dreams by Akira Kurosawa. My Midnight Therapist is a must-read for those in higher academia, psychology students, professors, and anyone interested in dreams and dream analysis.
