Transforming Dreams: Learning Spiritual Lessons from the Dreams You Never Forget Book

While most dreams can be dismissed as cerebral clutter, others resonate with such significance that their effects are ever-lasting and life-changing. By revealing secrets of the subconscious, some dreams have the power to expand the mind and enrich the soul. But where do these, so-called, "big dreams" come from? What do they mean? And why do we have them? These questions have been asked throughout the ages. At one time people perceived their dreams to be mystical messages from the Divine: "Throughout history people have relied on dreams to guide them in collective activities such as the building of temples and shrines, the performance of communal rituals and celebrations, the settlement of legal and economic conflicts and the decision of whether to go to war." Transforming Dreams endeavours not only to uncover the psychology of dreams but also to investigate their potential to provide spiritual insight. "Big dreams have the capability to prompt people to think differently, to consider alternative perspectives, to imagine new possibilities and to confront unpleasant truths about themselves and their lives." Containing stories that "testify to the mysterious potent force of dreams in human life, a force that neither religion nor science has ever adequately explained", Transforming Dreams will help you find a meaning in their madness and bring clarity to their, seemingly, chaotic content. As well as offering interpretations to his subjects intangible experiences, author Kelly Bulkeley takes a look at the most common themes of dreams, such as sex and death. The section that chronicles dreams of foreboding is especially fascinating. (Apparently, Abraham Lincoln foresaw his assassination in a dream just a few days before he was shot dead). By encouraging you to reflect, share and follow your dreams, this is quite literally a book for bed-time.--Christopher KellyRead More
