The broad scope of the dream material analyzed in this book allows the authors to touch upon many subjects associated with the nature of the psyche, not only those relevant to pregnant women. The careful interpretation of the amplificatory material drawn from a wide range of cultures also makes this an inspiring aid for the understanding of dreams, valuable to psychologists, doctors, midwives or anyone else interested in this human subject.

"The Genius of Spirit" is a guide book for using the power of dreams, meditation, and awareness to activate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, to bring the mind to a place of greater balance and peace. Only by connecting to the right-brained wisdom of soul or spirit can we release depression, despair, and the insanity around us. In this more balanced state, we're open to the grace and guidance of visions and miracles. This genius of the enlightened state is the intended destiny of everyone. We're all meant to live like those gurus and saints with greater joy and ease, while providing valuable services to humanity. Since over three billion people - almost half our world's population - live on less than $2 a day, we can only fix global imbalances with a more enlightened humanitarian approach. A new understanding of genius is proposed, not just the realm of the mind, instead, a union of mind and spirit. This includes all religious and spiritual believers and non-believers, as they guide each person to activate inner genius, and make the world much like heaven on earth.

Apuleius' "Metamorphoses" is probably best known as the literary source for the myth of Eros and Psyche and as a primary source of information about mystery religions in the ancient world.

There is another realm of the "Metamorphoses" which has, until now, received relatively little attention -- namely, the many dreams found within it. "The Religious Dreamworld of Apuleius'" Metamorphoses offers an engaging portrait of the second-century dreamworld. Recognizing the centrality of the religious function and spiritual interpretation of dreams, this book illustrates their vital importance in the ancient world and the wide variety of meanings attributed to them.

James Gollnick draws deeply from historical and psychological studies and provides a historical background on the current interest in the role of dreams in psychological and spiritual transformation.

This study of Apuleius' "Metamorphoses" adds to an appreciation of Apuleius the dreamer and the second-century dreamworld in which he lived and wrote.

This book is a new angle on dream interpretation, providing a Christian response to New Age and other unbiblical approaches to dreams.

What is God saying to you in your dreams? Let a leading prophetic voice teach you how to build your dream language vocabulary.

Given the average human sleeps eight hours a night-one third of our time spent on planet earth-it should come as no surprise that God will at times speak to us through Spirit-inspired dreams. Decoding Your Dreams will demystify God's dream language.

The truth is God speaks to each of us in ways that are personal to our culture and our life experience. If you are a Spanish speaker, for instance, God will typically not speak to you in Chinese. Much the same, if you are a dog lover God may use a dog in your dream to symbolize loyalty. But if you were attacked by a dog as a youth, a dog will mean something much different to you. It is vital we take to truly understand our dreams.

In the Bible, there are over 200 mentions of dreams and visions. From Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel in the Old Testament to Joseph and the apostles in the New Testament, God has spoken to His people through dreams throughout out recorded history.

Decoding Your Dreams will provide a solid, safe explanation of the dream world and dream languages that will help readers understand what God is really saying to them

There have been many books on the subject of dream analysis, most of them repeating what has been written many times before, and many of them of somewhat dubious value. Ray Douglas presents the subject from a previously unknown perspective: from the point of view of the inner feelings, also known as the higher emotional centre, which, he claims, is the actual source of dream imagery. He has been recording and interpreting dreams for many years, and has experienced for himself all the types of dream mentioned in this book. This is no small claim, for The Key to Dream Analysis describes every known type of dream, as well as every piece of information that may be useful in understanding our dreams. Familiar dream symbols so beloved by authors of traditional dream-books are not neglected here, but they are analysed in depth, and the whole dreaming process is explained with clarity. As Sigmund Freud pointed out, 'The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind'. It pays to take our dream lives seriously.

Our dreams speak to us in a language all of us can learn. Eloquently written by the dream specialist of our age, Appreciating Dreams develops a comprehensive technique for exploring dreams in small group settings. The shared trust and safety of a group structure can stimulate creativity and imagination and help the dreamer find her or his way into the dream. This approach to understanding dreams shows how natural and effective dream work with groups can be. It is always exciting to help the dreamer hear what the dream is saying in its own true voice.

Defining each of the three topics in the title, Klemp then explores them in a way that will change the reader's view of these subjects--and life in general--forever. "An excellent resource to enliven readers looking for more meaning and purpose in their lives."--Gerald Jampolsky, M.D., author of "Love Is Letting Go of Fear."

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.

Dream Power has already helped over half a million readers recognize the importance of their dreams, as well as learn how to use the information they reveal to enrich their lives.

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.
