Abstract
Second Wind Dreams® award winning Dreams Program sheds light on the positive aspects of aging. Dream fulfillment not only provides the dreamer with an increased sense of well-being and decreased depression scores, but those who reside near the dreamer report similar improvements. Dream fulfillment in long term care settings has been associated with decreased staff attrition rates and greater volunteer participation in the elder care community. By working at the grassroots level, we bring volunteers into the mix to explore the stories of aging individuals and full their dreams, reminding us age does not negate the humanity of the individual.
