“Growing numbers of people are fascinated by the dream world. From psychological scholars and analysts to spontaneous groups and cults, the dream has a compelling voice. … I make the point in this book that our dreams are our most creative inner source of wisdom and hope. … The criterion for selection is simply that each one illustrates a common human life experience that all readers have had or are likely to have.” – From the Introduction by the Author
