Beskrivning

Sacred dreams - those in which the dreamer experiences the immediate presence of or communication with the Divine - have shaped the spiritual history of humankind. Jacob's ladder dream, Joseph's dream verifying Mary's virgin pregnancy and Herod's plans to destroy the child, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha's auspicious dreams on his journey to enlightenment, Muhammad's night journey dream - the pervasive power of the sacred dream is part of the scripture and lore of virtually all the world's religions.This fascinating introduction to sacred dreaming celebrates the dream experience as a way to deepen spiritual awareness and as a source of self-healing for people of all faith traditions - or none. It includes practical, step-by-step exercises in every chapter.
