Falling, flying, making love to a stranger, being naked in public - we've all woken up, wondering "Why did I dream that?" In this guide to the world of night time fantasies, nightmares, and visions, dream specialist Gayle Delaney helps readers interpret, understand, and direct their dreaming. Drawing together dream history and other techniques, she lets readers in on the most fascinating thinking about dream interpretation and explains how the ancients used and understood dreams. Delaney shows readers how to live their dreams and direct what they dream about and when. She also offers a complete resource guide of "dream-y" books and tapes, study groups, and web sites. From a survey of dream history - Aristotle to Jung - to the ways in which business, arts, science, and health care use dreamwork today, Delaney presents a dream "bible".
