Dream journals are a surprisingly powerful resource for
psychological and spiritual discovery. Contemporary dream science
has shown that, as much as we can learn from single dreams, far
more information can be derived from analyzing a series of dreams
over time. Many have intuitively understood this point, and
carefully recorded their dreams for years, even decades, drawing
profound guidance from the patterns they discovered. The Scribes of
Sleep is the first book to gather historical and cross-cultural
evidence showing the value of dream journals as potent sources of
healing, religious experience, and metaphysical insight. Dream
researcher Kelly Bulkeley profiles seven remarkable people who kept
dream journals: Aelius Aristides, Myoe Shonin, Lucrecia de León,
Emanuel Swedenborg, Benjamin Banneker, Anna Bonus Kingsford, and
Wolfgang Pauli. Because dreams are so complex and multi-faceted,
especially when viewed in a series, Bulkeley employs an
interdisciplinary approach to shed light on their meanings, drawing
on data science, depth psychology, and religious studies. As the
findings of these different methods are woven together and they
begin to illuminate each other, it becomes clear that the practice
of keeping a dream journal stimulates several specific qualities of
religiosity, prompting the dreamers to move in more individualist,
mystical, and pluralistic directions-towards becoming a free
spirit.
