Creative Dreaming by Patricia Garfield, Ph.D. (paperback, 272 pages)

An excellently written, powerful but easy and exciting to read classic all about dreams, creativity, lucid dreaming, and much more. Garfield wonderfully brings to life the dream traditions of native peoples from around the world, comparing cross-cultural views and methods. She takes a powerful, fresh look at dream incubation principles for answering problems, resolving nightmares and receiving guidance and creative inspiration, and does a great job describing lucid dreams and how to have them (including Tibetan & Senoi views and techniques).

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 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.

A little-known book covering dream incubation, interpretation and sharing methods. Reed, editor of Inward magazine and professor at Atlantic University, is without question one of the leading pioneers in popularizing and exploring dream incubation and also interactive/communal approaches for "dreaming for others". He documents some very impressive accounts where dream group members incubate dreams for others with impressive success. An excellent resource for professionals and those with a general interest in dreams and healing/helping others through dreams and prayer.

This book is brilliant, truly comprehensive (in its genre), and most certainly far from flaky. 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 eye-opening and fun to read. Introduction by science of consciousness pioneer Charles Tart.

An unquestionably rich, deep source describing the mechanics of thought, dreams, beliefs and subjective reality in general. Roberts brings forth very unique and fresh material all about consciousness, human experience and the inner dynamics of the psyche.

I had the pleasure to meet Tenzin Rinpoche and hear 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.

One of the most insightful and exciting novels of our times. The jaded hero stumbles into an amazing land and society whose ways and values are so foreign to what he has learned in 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 most charming and truth-essence-packed books available. The kin of Ata are a people very in 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 England heart transplant recipient. She candidly and genuinely describes all her strengths and 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".
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.

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 to affirm 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.
