Filled wit fascinating case studies and provocative ideas, Breakthrough Dreaming shows you:

How to recall and record your dreams.

Step-by-step cues for interpreting your own--and other people's--dreams.

Review:

Here, Gayle Delaney, founder of the Association for the Study of Dreams and dream theory researcher for over 20 years, offers techniques for dream interpretation to enhance creativity and to help deal with problems. This book shows how to understand the metaphoric language of dreams through a host of specific examples: dream settings, people, animals, feelings and events. But the focus is on learning to apply the insights you gain to solve problems and fine-tune your judgment. She presents the dream interview process as a method we can learn to use on ourselves and with others. What emerges here is a vision of a state of being in which each of us can access the meanings of our dreams, help others to do so and achieve an open channel between waking and dreaming. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff
