Many cultures believe in the powerful premonitory powers of dreams and dreamlike states achieved through sleep or other forms of meditation. Author, dream reader, and sonographer is a believer of the combined sources of spirituality and science in the lives of the individual. Her years of experience as an ultrasound technologist and a lifetime spent as a prophetic dreamer have given her a lot of expertise to helping women find answers about childbirth and spirituality through interpreting their dreams during pregnancy. She has drawn inspiration from her work as well as the work of a number of other authors to inform her practices.
Some of her inspiration come from the experience of others in the medical field. The List Of Authors she has drawn from begins with Allan J. Hamilton. His work as a neurosurgeon has put him in many deeply complicated situations both in and out of the operating room. His work called The Scalpel, and the Soul explores how various aspects of faith, superstition and premonitions impact how patients feel as well as the outcome of surgery. His moving work also deals with aspects of the preternatural including survival after death, exorcism, the appearance of apparitions, and angels.
Another work from the List Of Authors that has contributed a great deal to Foley’s methods is Proof of Heaven by doctor Eben Alexander. Also, a doctor of neuroscience, Dr. Alexander’s journey has led him from having trouble reconciling the existence of divinity or the supernatural to a different conclusion. Following a near-death experience of his own, Alexander fell into a coma for seven days. The experience he had during this period has changed his stance on the existence of a super physical world in which he traveled a great distance to encounter a being beyond explication.
From these experiences, Foley has done her own research into the inter-connectivity of the soul and the dream state. She uses her knowledge to interpret dreams and help others come to a sense of understanding in finding a place to their own bodies. Her own writing has contributed to major pieces of dream work and intuition including titles such as the Dreams and Premonitions collection of Chicken Soup for the Soul and Midlife Clarity.
