Senoi Dream Theory

The Senoi Dream Theory is an idea that one can control his/her own dream and in return reach full sexual gratification and reduce fear. This theory became most popular during the 1960s but was actually first introduced to the psychological world in 1953 on "accident" by a man named Carl Jung.
Many Native tribes where known for using dreams as a source for healing and sometimes other aspects of life such as choosing a 'career'. The Senoi were no different. The Senoi were a group of people from Malaysia numbering from 30-45,000 and traveled with just 15-100 people. They did not use dreams as just a source for healing however, but instead for putting dreams into a positive aspect of life and using them to increase human development.
The Senoi Dream Theory was first taken seriously during the Dream Movement of the 1950s and 60s where psychologists around the world began learning more about our dreams and how they occur. Although the discovery of the Senoi Dream Theory was just an accident in a laboratory while studying Rapid Eye Movement (REM) it became a big part of the Dream Movement.
