The Dreamwork HandBook is a new & completely revised edition of Dreams & Relationships.
This is certainly a hands-on experience. I was able to use the tricks and tips that I picked up in this book to interpret dreams I had while on a camping trip.
A tool I picked up that I think is most valuable is focusing on the EMOTIONS and imagery/symbolism versus trying to create a linear full story. We overlook emotions in dreams so often - I realize that dreams are the place where I feel my feelings the most intensely. Dream emotions accurately reflect our waking emotions even if they are buried.
Dreams are so incredibly unique in meaning from each person to person. Intuition plays a huge part in dream interpretation. Dreams do not conform to the rules of waking logic. Sometimes dreams can be prophetic and supernatural with the soul leaving the body.
"At first, dreaming may seem incompatible with waking logic, but ultimately our various states of consciousness synergize each another - the unconscious breadth of dreaming complements our waking rationality and common sense"
I took many pages of notes for such a short book! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in lucid dreaming, getting a better night's sleep, analyzing and understanding dreams in general, or someone who has had a recurring dream they're trying to finally crack. I feel as though this book will offer so much clarity and I am grateful the author took the time to share his knowledge to help the masses. This book is incredibly helpful!
