The title of the book refers to three interrelated experiences that are often dismissed as "only" things — as in "it’s only a dream", or "it’s just a coincidence", or "it’s only my imagination". Moss contends that is is "only" through bringing these experiences more consciously into our awareness and validating them that we become alive to the totality of our own lives.

Moss discusses each of these realms of experience by presenting their rules, powers, or uses, such as the seven secrets of imagination (including moving beyond our blocks, growing visions, and imagining something desired into reality); and the nine rules of coincidence (including the attraction of like for like, and how motion multipies coincidence); and nine powers of dreaming (including dream coaching, seeing the future, tapping creativity, and understanding relationships). Anecdotes and stories of how others, both famous and anonymous, have used these gifts to guide their decisions and foster creativity are sprinkled throughout the book, along with practical guidelines and tools for tapping the power of the "three ‘only’ things" ourselves. By treating our waking-life world symbolically (like a dream) we can see patterns and events in a new and different way that fosters greater wisdom and understanding.
