RADICAL DREAMING Use Your Dreams to Change Your Life
Forget
Everything You Think You Know About Dream Interpretation!
In a stunning departure from "cookie-cutter"
dream dictionaries and contemporary methods of dream
interpretation, RADICAL DREAMING introduces a powerful new approach to unlock the
hidden meanings of your dreams.
The only book of its kind, Radical Dreaming
is an innovative program for changing your life through
a highly personalized method of dream interpretation.
It prepares readers for the experiences they can expect
on their journey; and illustrates how individual dreamwork
impacts society and the world. By learning to navigate
your dreams' multiple layers of meaning, you can use
them to reveal your Authentic Self and begin a gratifying
lifelong process of self-discovery.
Find out how your dreams identify negative
outside influences, ideas, and attitudes in society
that suppress authenticity in favor of conformity.
"Dreams have
a poetic integrity and truth. . . . These
whimsical pictures, in as much as they originate from
us, may well have an analogy with our whole life and
fate."-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Radical Dreaming will show you
how to use your dreams to:
Find your true calling in life -
and follow it through
Cultivate healthy and meaningful relationships
Treat depression and anxiety without
medication
Help create a better society and a
better world
Turn life's challenges into catalysts
for positive change
Tap into hidden potential in all areas
of your life
Protect your health-
recognize early warning signs of illness in dreams
Using case studies, exercises, and
research based on over 23,000 dreams, Dr. Goldhammer's
new approach to dream interpretation will help you "pull the sword from
the stone and make the most of the strength, power,
and insight you never knew you had. The result will
be a life dramatically richer in spirit, creativity,
soulfulness, and passion.
"John
Goldhammer has written an excellent book that goes
beyond dream symbolism and how to books. This
is much better than reading someone else's symbols.
This is a radical book. It is about using
dreams to slay your dragons, face your fears and
making a difference in your life. -
