Description

Rodger Kamenetz’s exploration of the world of dreams reopens all the questions we thought were settled. We soon learn how the struggle between what we dream and how we interpret our dreams has shaped Western thought. Learning from an 87 year old female kabbalist in Jerusalem, a suave Tibetan tulku in Copenhagen, and a crusty intuitive postman/dream master in northern Vermont, Kamenetz recovers for us the lost power of our nightly visions.

Dreams are intensely meaningful and reveal essential truths about our inner lives. With Kamenetz as our guide, we move down into this mysterious inner realm and hear the messages waiting for us at the heart of our dreams. In the end you will think about your dreams in an entirely new light and finally understand their potential to lead us on the path to the soul.
