Connie Kaplan gives women (and men, if they choose to join in)
everywhere a great gift with this book: the opportunity to take ones
dream life seriously and to see beyond the psychological towards the
transpersonal visions found within our dreams. Rather than assuming
that all dreams are on the same mundane psychological level, she
acknowledges, as many spiritual traditions do, that dreams can range
from the trivial to the profound, and have different purposes and
effects. Like the Eskimos see snow, she outlines the many kinds of
dreams we have =96 from the personal and psychological types to
clairvoyant, healing and dreams.
She also outlines how to work within a dream circle with other women
and explains the potency of this sort of work. By providing support
for each other and shelter from the ordinary world, information and
insightcan flow more easily. The author draws heavily on her own
experience and on the experiences of the women she works with in dream
circle to outline a way to map one's dreams and track your own
patterns and cycles in dreaming, giving many examples of how they
reveal themselves.
She found that the astrological position of the moon has a strong
effect on a woman's dreams and provides a chart to help readers map
and observe their dreams over time.
Practical and grounded, yet opening up and empowering women (and
men) to acknowledge and use the information that comes to them from
dreams, this book is a highly recommended work tool for those in the
process of living and/or dying. Beautifully designed with a stunning
cover, it is a book that you will treasure, and who knows, may inspire
you to start your own dream circle to help people find their place in
the dreamweave.
