This practical handbook provides a complete program of study and practice for every student to awaken consciousness in the Internal Worlds: those dimensions we all visit each night, but only faintly remember, if at all. "The aspirant tries to be conscious of his own dream; hence, he becomes a spectator and actor of a dream with the advantage of being able to abandon the scene at will in order to move freely in the Astral World. "Then the aspirant, free of the limitations of the flesh, outside the physical body, will have discarded his old familiar environment and penetrated a universe ruled by different laws. "The discipline of the dream state of Tantric Buddhists methodically leads us to the awakening of our consciousness." By the application of the techniques provided herein, any sincere person can achieve the awakening of the consciousness, and thereby come to know the truth of the mysteries that exist beyond the reach of our physical senses.

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.

'The Nightmare of Sleep' is part one of the 'Evolution of Imagination' which attempts to define what imagination is, how it functions, and trace its unique biological development in us, the Universe's first Time Lords. Every time you touch your forehead you are less than seven millimetres away from a biological computer with more processing power than all the world's computers linked together. Its main function is to run a unique application called 'Imagination' which allows us, Homo sapiens, to live in two coexisting worlds, both the physical and the virtual, simultaneously. Imagination is the hidden force that controls every aspect of our life, for we are all inseparably bound to our very own 'multi-dimensional virtual-reality processor'. On the face of it Imagination is a simple combination of two processes - the first is the ability to select a memory 'before' an event and the second is to be able to 'manipulate' it together with other memories, into a logical sequence, to predict an outcome. Yet this simple ability allows each of us to become a Time Lord, constantly travelling between the past, the present and the future, in less than the blink of an eye. Imagination is our very own subliminal problem solver, constantly running in the background to provide answers to 'what if' scenarios enabling us to mentally assess consequences, without having to hurt ourselves in the physical world, something no other member of the animal kingdom can do. Imagination feeds on Imagination growing exponentially so who knows where it will lead, are we at the dawn of virtual telepathy? Will Imagination physically change us again as it has already? Will it prove to be the saviour of our species or open a Pandora's Box of seismic proportions? Time will eventually tell but for now perhaps the only hope we have of unravelling the future is if we start by tracing the incredible evolutionary steps which led us to acquire this wonderful gift.

On the basis of a lifelong relationship with cats, dogs, and horses, Regina Abt a graduate of the Zurich C.G. Jung Institute in 1985 who worked for many years with Dr. M.-L. von Franz, has the ability to understand the dream motifs of cat, dog, and horse in their unique and life-guiding ways. The personal and archetypal dimension of the psyche is nourished by this book. Animals in dreams tell us something about our own inner instinctual nature from which civilized man has increasingly distanced himself. They provide indications as to how we can once again show due respect for this instinctual life energy with its hidden knowledge, and also show us where we underestimate and violate them. In this book we look at animal dreams as a symbolic expression of the instinctual, that is, unconscious psychic functioning of man, which is crucial for the well-being of both the individual and the society.

Sigmund Freud, the father of modern Psychology, stunned the world with his work in dream analysis. His surprisingly simple yet powerful conclusions captivated the world's attention and started the exploration of the human mind. Although a scientist by trade, this introductory work by Freud is written for anyone to understand and does not require a background in psychology. This easy to follow volume is not only enlightening, but an entertaining guide that lays the foundation for analyzing dreams. Inside you will learn what causes dreams and how to figure out what they mean. For example, when a young woman falls asleep and slowly looses her grip on consciousness, the unshackled and unrestrained parts of her subconsciousness start peering out of the shadows of her mind. Her carnal desires slowly creep into her weakened state of mind. As she tosses in bed these thoughts start controlling her dreams. Now, alone in her mind, she is at the mercy of the world where her libido manifests itself in both subtle and overt ways. When she wakes up she might forget or ignore what has transpired. By doing so, she will close a valuable window that reveals her true desires. Yet if she explores this facet of her existence, she can arrive at a more intimate understanding of herself.

This compelling illustrated guide, with over 600 beautiful and intriguing images, celebrates dreams as an important part of the human experience, translating the surreal conjurings of our dreamlife into enlightening insights into our own psyche.

Dream interpretation was a prominent feature of the intellectual and imaginative world of late antiquity, for martyrs and magicians, philosophers and theologians, polytheists and monotheists alike. Finding it difficult to account for the prevalence of dream-divination, modern scholarship has often condemned it as a cultural weakness, a mass lapse into mere superstition. In this book, Patricia Cox Miller draws on pagan, Jewish, and Christian sources and modern semiotic theory to demonstrate the integral importance of dreams in late-antique thought and life. She argues that Graeco-Roman dream literature functioned as a language of signs that formed a personal and cultural pattern of imagination and gave tangible substance to ideas such as time, cosmic history, and the self.

Miller first discusses late-antique theories of dreaming, with emphasis on theological, philosophical, and hermeneutical methods of deciphering dreams as well as the practical uses of dreams, especially in magic and the cult of Asclepius. She then considers the cases of six Graeco-Roman dreamers: Hermas, Perpetua, Aelius Aristides, Jerome, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianus. Her detailed readings illuminate the ways in which dreams provided solutions to ethical and religious problems, allowed for the reconfiguration of gender and identity, provided occasions for the articulation of ethical ideas, and altogether served as a means of making sense and order of the world.
