Your dreams offer vital insights into many aspects of life. This
easy-to-use book goes a step further than traditional dream books.
Within these pages are many examples to show you how to analyse and
make sense of your own dreams. While offering some symbolic
guidance the emphasis is always on the numinous meaning for the
individual. The dreams you will work with include Recurring,
Prophetic, Nightmare, Lucid and Direct Soul communication.
A strong and growing intuition in society today is the idea that
our thoughts create our own reality. Yet it seems obvious that, try
as we might, our lives are not quite what we fantasize. Is the
intuition thus wrong? Through a rational, methodic interpretation
of meditative insights, the validity of which is substantiated with
a compelling scientific literature review, the author constructs
hypotheses that reconcile facts with intuition. Mesmerizing
narratives of his expeditions into the unconscious suggest an
amazing possibility: just as dreams are seemingly autonomous
manifestations of our psyche, reality may be an externalized
combination of the subconscious dreams of us all, mixed as they are
projected onto the fabric of space-time. Perhaps the laws of
physics are an emergent by-product of such synchronization of
thoughts. Through computer simulations, the author explores the
implications of these hypotheses, with conclusions uncannily
reminiscent of observed phenomena.
Dreams have always been important to humanity, but in modern times
we have lost the ability to understand what our dreams are telling
us. In The Dreamer's Odyssey, the author provides a step-by-step
guide to help the individual interpret and work through their own
dreams. It can also be used by counsellors and other professionals
to give them an understanding of the basis of Jung's dream
analysis. The 10 week guide has been adapted from the courses that
the author, Jacquie Flecknoe-Brown, has run successfully for many
years. Closely linked to the theory of C. G. Jung, each chapter
includes an interpreted dream relevant to the weekly content. It
also includes analysis of dream-theory, and interpretation of
mythical material to illustrate theoretical points. Working with
dreams and their images helps us to be more conscious of ourselves,
our shadows, our opposites, and our purpose. Dreams can ease our
burdens, help us problem-solve, improve our memories, and enlighten
us. The dream is a natural, and living phenomenon - working to
understand our dreams will have an effect on many aspects of our
lives.
Let Your Dreams Be Your Doctor is the result of author Arlene
Shovald's lifelong fascination with dreams. Revealing her own
healing experiences with dreams as well as the experiences of
fourteen other individuals who contributed to her study on using
dreams to work with emotional and physical problems, she provides
direction for the novice who has just begin to pay attention to
those mysterious messages we get during the night, as well as new
information for the person who has studied his or her dreams for
years. In particular, case studies make the reading interesting and
enjoyable.
As Shovald explains, obtaining information about physical and
emotional health from dreams is rather like going to a doctor who
speaks a foreign language. You many not understand the diagnosis
and plan of treatment in the beginning, but once you learn the
symbolic language of dreams, the information becomes clear.

Jung's legendary American lectures on dream interpretation In 1936
and 1937, C. G. Jung delivered two legendary seminars on dream
interpretation, the first on Bailey Island, Maine, the second in
New York City. Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process makes
these lectures widely available for the first time, offering a
compelling look at Jung as he presents his ideas candidly and in
English before a rapt American audience. The dreams presented here
are those of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, who
turned to Jung for therapeutic help because of troubling personal
events, emotional turmoil, and depression. Linking Pauli's dreams
to the healing wisdom found in many ages and cultures, Jung shows
how the mandala-a universal archetype of wholeness-spontaneously
emerges in the psyche of a modern man, and how this imagery
reflects the healing process. He touches on a broad range of
themes, including psychological types, mental illness, the
individuation process, the principles of psychotherapeutic
treatment, and the importance of the anima, shadow, and persona in
masculine psychology. He also reflects on modern physics, the
nature of reality, and the political currents of his time. Jung
draws on examples from the Mithraic mysteries, Buddhism, Hinduism,
Chinese philosophy, Kundalini yoga, and ancient Egyptian concepts
of body and soul. He also discusses the symbolism of the Catholic
Mass, the Trinity, and Gnostic ideas in the noncanonical Gospels.
With an incisive introduction and annotations, Dream Symbols of the
Individuation Process provides a rare window into Jung's
interpretation of dreams and the development of his psychology of
religion.

In this extraordinary book, shamanic dream teacher Robert Moss teaches us how to become shamans of our own souls and healers of our own lives.
The essence of the shaman's power to travel and to heal is the ability to dream strong. In our everyday modern lives, we stand at the edge of such power when we dream and remember to do something with our dreams. If you want to be a shaman, start at the breakfast table, by sharing dreams the right way with your family and friends.
The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to our medicine and healing today is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer "soul loss" -- the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity -- and that in order to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Robert Moss teaches us that our dreams give us maps we can use to travel to where energy that was lost or stolen can be found and brought home. He shows us how to recover our animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality. We discover how the ancestors come seeking us through dreams and how, through conscious engagement, we can heal ancestral wounds and open the way for "cultural" soul recovery.
On our roads of soul, we have a remarkable ally, if we will only accept it. Sufis call it the soul of the soul. It is the Greater or Higher Self. Moss encourages us to open our hearts to receive its guidance.
Dreamers are time travelers, and you'll discover here how the depth of healing and guidance becomes available when you operate in that knowledge. You'll learn how to enter past lives and future lives, and the life experiences of parallel selves, and how to bring back lessons and gifts. You'll learn that you can connect with earlier versions of yourself "in their own Now time," to provide the support and mentoring they desperately need.
"It's not just about keeping soul in the body. It's about "growing" soul, becoming more than we ever were, embodying more of the Greater Self," writes Moss. With fierce joy, he incites us to take the creator's leap and bring something new into our world.
What do dreams reveal? Going beyond superficial explanations, The
Dream Interpretation Dictionary brings a deep and rich
understanding to a variety of images, signs, and symbols. It
considers the context to help anyone complete their own personal
jigsaw puzzle. From entries ranging from Abandonment to Zoo, this
massive tome analyses sex dreams, money dreams, dreams of falling,
running, or paralysis and much more. It brings profound insights to
thousands of dream messages by showing what to look for and what to
ignore and teaches how to master dream interpretation.
What is Yoga anyway? Mention the word yoga and most people imagine
a lithe young woman leaning so far backwards that she can touch the
floor behind her with her fingertips. Thus begins Linda Johnsen's
introduction to this engaging and often profound book.
Unsurprisingly she goes on to explain that yoga is far far more
than the hatha postures seen by the casual observer. Yoga is a way
of life and its lessons are seemingly without number. SPIRIT ON THE
MOVE is a collection of personal essays first published in Yoga
International magazine that express the variety of riches found
along the path of yoga. Some essays are light and humorous while
others are deeply thoughtful and spiritual. One writer describes
how yoga has helped him face his own mortality. Another chronicles
her yoga-inspired journey out of 'chocolate addiction'. Still
another confesses her past as a yoga snob who saw wealth and
authenticity as incompatible. What will you learn from the first
hand accounts of this diverse group of contributors? Certainly
you'll emerge from this book with a newfound appreciation for what
yoga really is. But more to the point you'll gain insights of your
own how what you learn in yoga class translates into your daily
interactions with others how to move gracefully and skilfully
through all that life brings you and how to never forget the real
purpose of your journey here on earth.
