of the world of dreams, and a guide to how we understand their
significance. You can learn to interpret your deepest thoughts,
feelings and desires by analysing the visionary inner world that is
the key to the future. You can use the Tarot to foretell your own

subconscious. Every culture in every historical period has
interpreted the importance of dreams in different ways, but all
agree that dreams have vital significance, and could even hold
knowledge of the future. Ancient methods of divining dreams,

revelations. With intelligent and accessible text, and illustrated
throughout with evocative images, this is an insightful examination
of dreams and divination.
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
From dreams realistic and reminiscent to the world of nightmare and phantasmagoria, from the bizarre and ridiculous to the perplexing and haunting, this anthology draws on the dreams of a wide variety of novelists, poets, playwrights, and others to explore the inexhaustible fascination of dreams and their power as a source of literary inspiration.
Psychologist Gendlin (Behavioral Sciences, University of Chicago)
comes from Carl Rogers's circle. Following Focusing (Everest House,
1978), this book shows how Gendlin's method of tapping the body's
responses can be applied to the understanding and appreciation of
one's dreams. He implies, rightly, that there are many ways of
interpreting dreams, based on various theoretical approaches, each
with its own validity. Yet, what really counts is the dreamer's
somatic response to questions raised or interpretations suggested;
the body has the answer, preverbally as it were. One can feel the
author's respect for the privacy of the individual and for the
message of one's inner nature. Simply and clearly written, this
will be useful both for the lay public and therapists.
Our Dreams Will Never Be the Same Again
International bestselling author Rodger Kamenetz believes it is
not too late to reclaim the lost power of our nightly visions. He
fearlessly delves into this mysterious inner realm and shows us
that dreams are not only intensely meaningful, but hold essential
truths about who we are. In the end, each of us has the choice to
embark on this illuminating path to the soul.
