The author of this non-fiction masterpiece has lived and written something truly incredible.
Former editor of New Age Journal, Barasch has brought together and gathered crystal examples of
a multitude of ways that dreams support us in and beyond everyday life. He accurately details
and shows how they can bring
about miracles if we listen to and follow their guidance. Not only is the book a superb and
enlightening synthesis of many current views and theories on dreams, but it is excellently
written and therefore a joy to read. It sparks plenty of insight simply by way of the language
and multi-level metaphors used. Barasch
candidly shares his own personal journey and healing. Side by side with the growth of
cancer in his body, he details his incredible parallel inner journey of personal growth. The
book rings with truth like the great bell of a community
chapel announcing the wedding of inner and outer. It is a genuine call to us all to join
the ceremony of transformation and ensuing celebration of the union of our dreaming and waking
lives for personal, family, communal, and planetary healing. Highly recommended.

Bro has done a magnificent work in harvesting the very best from the incredible wealth of
dream-related information brought forth by the sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce. He offers examples
of many subtle dream principles and doesn't gloss over the challenges and cautions involved in
truly trying to interact with and follow dreams. He also details many incredible successes,
telling the amazing true life accounts of a number of people who visited Cayce for help with
their dreams on relationships, health, stock market predictions, and ultimately about each
person's personal growth through dreams for enriching and balancing their waking lives.

The Stones' work is absolutely brilliant. With a psychology,
relationships and personal growth focus, their Voice Dialogues framework and process
takes both Carl Jung's universal character archetype theory
and Fritz Perls' gestalt techniques a quantum leap further.
I have personally met and attended workshops with the Stones
and cannot recommend their work highly enough for anyone who would understand the dynamics
of personality and relationships and how they show up in dreams. They have also written a
version specifically for couples called Embracing Each Other.

The work of Marshall Rosenberg and CNVC (the Center for Nonviolent Communication) is truly
one of the most needed and remarkable resources available for healing relationships and
learning how to communicate in a far more healthy manner. The topic of the book may perhaps
seem unrelated to dreams, however the important issues discussed as well as Rosenberg's methods
for working with emotions and difficult personal situations are exactly what dreams often
focus on and so the
two are far more closely related than they may at first seem. The book is an easy-to-read and yet
powerful presentation of Rosenberg's NVC process. Dr. Rosenberg travels the globe offering
workshops, so I also highly recommend seeing him live or getting one of his video or audio tapes.

documents some very impressive accounts where dream group members incubate dreams for others

Originally a skeptic himself, Peterson recounts his adventures into the realms of out of body experiences
and lucid dreams, and details page after page of fascinating experiences along with the techniques he
used to bring about his success. He also compares notes with other sources and discriminates between gold
and garbage as far as techniques and beliefs are concerned. Not only is his style very genuine, but he has
has most excellently chronicled and expressed his nearly 20 years of experiences, making the book both

Hot off the press. I had the pleasure of meeting Tenzin Rinpoche last summer and hearing a lecture of his about
dream yoga. He is unquestionably a man of great knowledge and discipline and I strongly
recommend his teachings and philosophy for those interested in a spiritual self-exploration
through consciousness during sleep and dreams. The book's style is very accessible to the Western reader,
but gives a detailed, in-depth description of the Tibetan dream and sleep yoga philosophies and practices. His
presentation of the yoga of sleep (as opposed to dream yoga) is particularly well done, as are the accompanying
practices.

his earlier high society life that he rebels instantly. The greatest of possible personal
conflicts are set up, and Bryant very adeptly shows the evolution of his character in one of the

touch with nature and life cycles who live simply and follow their dream guidance as truly
as they can, though the way is not always obvious. Easy-to-read and brilliant.

A true story of Claire's personal odyssey as a mother, dancer, dreamer and the first New

pitfalls along her incredibly inspiring personal journey. Her trust and interest in dreams is
what lends the book its special charm, since she starts subjectively feeling the thoughts,
desires and yearning of the donor of her new heart, and actually meets him in her dreams.
Skeptics beware as she follows a trail of synchronicities that lead her to the donor's
former family, leaving readers uplifted with a collection of fascinating coincidences,
a snapshot of very believable interpersonal relationships,
and questions about life & the mind-body-spirit connection,
and most of all about personal fulfillment, courage, and love.

With well over 30 million copies sold, this short easy-read is a new world favorite. I've heard
from Bach himself how the manuscript came to be published. After twenty-odd publishers refused
his "pleasant story about the little bird", the practically starving writer walked out to his
mailbox to find only two letters there. One was the apology from his agent saying she
could no longer represent the book, and the other a letter from Eleanor Friede at Dell
who'd read some of his earlier work, asking if he "just might happen" to have any
manuscripts laying around that he was hoping to have published. The rest is history, and the
"risky" manuscript became what is now known in publishing circle's as "Friede's Folly". Click here to

[Review by: pcoats@dreamtree.com]
Patricia Garfield is a world-renown author on dreams. This is her sixth book and it continues her tradition of exploring how dreams can function as tools
for healing in our waking lives. The Dream Messenger focuses upon dreams of the dead -- identifying several components
of such dream encounters, and providing techniques for integrating these dreams with bereavement and re-awakening to life after the loss of a loved one.
Based on a study of hundreds of dreams of bereaved persons, as well as her own journals and the writings of other contemporary authors, Garfield
brings a rich sense of shared emotion and human experience to the grieving process, and to the need toaffirm our continuing relationships with those who have died.

Barrett does a most excellent job of detailing numerous accounts of how renown musicians,
authors, playwrights, inventors, athletes, scientists, poets and figures from many other
disciplines have used dreams to either directly or indirectly bring about their creations.
Some of the examples are quite famous such as Elias Howe's invention of the sewing machine and
Paul McCartney's hit "Yesterday". Others are much less known but both intriguing and extremely
inspiring such as the way that author Graham Greene would dream the dreams of the characters from his
novels in first person as his own and then later transcribe them as his characters dreams in his novels.

A successful writer and screen-writer, Cameron led creativity classes for 15 years before
coming out with this book. She knows her topic, and she knows how to help people get unstuck,
in both their creative process and personal journey of self-exploration. The book is set up as
a series of 12 weekly lessons with accompanying exercises that work well in a group or
individual setting. If you're longing to free your inner artist, playfulness and the joy

at least a few months, this book would be a valuable guide for the adventure.

How the story came to him is also fascinating, he was just out for a walk one night when he
suddenly heard a voice say, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull". In Bach's famous nonchalant style, he
asked the voice what it meant by that. Images about the tale of a Seagull that was an outcast
from the flock flooded him, and he rushed home and poured out the first half of the story.
After 7 years of futile attempts to come up with a satisfying ending to the tale, Bach finally
had a second revelation and finished the wonderfully charming tale that will inspire children
and grown-ups alike.
