DREAMS
The Magic of the Night
Dreams – The Magic of the Night is for people who want to understand their dreams. It shows the reader how to do this through examples from the author’s dream journals. A framework for understanding dreams is presented in the first few chapters, illustrated by examples. After that, any chapter may be read in any order.
The first chapter is a short autobiography so that readers will understand where the author is coming from. This is important because a basic principle in dream interpretation is that the best interpreter of a dream is the dreamer. We know ourselves better than anyone else.
The goal of dreamwork is always greater self-understanding and self-awareness. The world of dreams is a vast inner universe. From physical health to divine revelations, dreams give us much that we simply would not understand without them. By working with dreams, the dreamer gradually uncovers more and more of his/her true identity.
Some dreams make us very uncomfortable as we begin to see where we have maintained a destructive attitude and so have deprived ourselves of fuller, richer living. Other dreams bring us new insights accompanied by joy and exaltation.
In the final analysis, dreams are a means to an end. There is no benefit in just remembering your dreams but never understanding them. The goal is to live a wonderful life in our waking hours. Dreams – The Magic of the Night will put you on a path to the full realization of this.
EXCERPTS:
1. The purpose of dreaming and of working with our dreams is consciousness expansion, a growth in our knowledge and understanding of who we are. This is true spiritual growth. Most people are aware of only a small portion of who and what they are. The other side of our being is attempting through dreams to establish a conscious connection with us, to develop an intimate relationship that will lead to the integration of all parts of our being, a wholeness or oneness. Each communication from within is received by us as a dream, a vision or an intuition.
2. Dreams can also be creative and inspirational. Yahoo! Music reported in 2013 that Paul McCartney had gotten the initial melody for the song “Yesterday” in a dream.
3. My interest is in truth, not in defending tradition at any cost. This is too radical an ideal for some people, I sincerely believe (and know) that God gives revelations to people today, not just to biblical characters of ancient times. If King Solomon can have a conversation with God in a dream, why not me too? Why not you? Solomon was just a man, a person, a human being very similar to the rest of us. But God communicating to us in dreams? That is just too much for die-hard traditionalists even though it’s in the Bible! What would happen to the traditional viewpoint if they made a study of everything the Bible has to say about dreams?
