In this qualitative theoretical pilot research, I explored a possible relationship between a person’s Childhood Dream (CD) and her / his Near-Death Experience (NDE). Processwork was the base for my inquiry, and I used the same format in looking at both CDs and NDEs. I interviewed 3 participants who also completed a study-specific questionnaire. My own NDE and CD were included in the data, and I considered all 4 of us to be knowledgeable about the experiences being explored. Although further research is needed to clarify the nature of the relationships between the NDE and CD, results to date indicate that they complement each other, and show themselves as blueprints that can guide and provide us with a depth that supports and leads us into becoming whole. As dream-like experiences, the NDE and CD are works in process that can have long-lasting effects, spiritually and psychologically, upon the experiencer.
