Working with Dreams - Paperback

This little book provides an excellent background on dreams; what they are, where they come from and what they are intended to do. It demystifies the process of interpreting these nightly messages and provides a down to earth, comprehensive and step-by-step approach to working with dreams that eliminates the confusion found in other books of the genera. Apart from demonstrating how to successfully deal with the narrative of the dream a significant portion of the book is dedicated to dream art. Dream art refers to those sketches, drawings, doodles and whatnot that people put together to help illustrate the dream. This book will explain what to look for, in this more creative aspect of the dreamer's presentation of the dream and how to employ these revelations to garner a better understanding of the dreams overall meaning. The book also includes a discussion on the topic of recalling dreams and offers several concrete suggestions to help facilitate the process. Finally, the book expounds upon common symbols, themes and motifs found in dreams. This section is not offered as a dream dictionary - as the book makes it perfectly clear that dream symbols are utterly unique to each dreamer - but rather as a catalyst to help one begin to conceptualize the work in a symbolic way. As the author points out the title of the book is about dream work, but it should be approached as dream play to be most productive.
