Decoding the book Decoding Dreams
I came across this book just after a painful divorce in the early 90's that was not prevented by several years of therapy. I was immediately attracted to the self-analysis that Dr. Langs skillfully lays out in hiswriting. Since money was short, this looked like the perfect answer: free,do-it-yourself therapy.Read more

Beyond the Dream; Awakening to Reality
Simply, the very best book I have ever read. It has changed me completely. ( I am not easily changed)You read it and you just know.

Water for the Spirit
In this book the compassionate Dr. Hora is able to reveal the living God in breathtakingly simple, infinitely intelligent language. Hora untangles God from theology, misunderstanding, and misappropriation insimple sentences; the reader is left with life. The meaning of life is here!
Thomas Hora MD. might as well be the author of a Course in Miracles because this book is is the continuation of what was begun there. Dr. Hora has taken the purpose of life beyond the mundane and put it into reality for us in a way that we can take our lives into our own hands and be of value on this planet.All of the reasons why are here. All of the ways we can be who we are meant to be are here. Plain and simple. Dr. Hora's book is the Holy Grail for those of us who have been searching all our lives for the true meaning of our existence. I have recommended this book to everyone I know and now we can stop searching and start understanding and being who we really are. God bless all those who find this treasure! ... Read more

Pleased!
It's me again...I've finished the book and am doubly pleased!This book provided me with much insight into the distinction between the concious and the unconcious states we live in each day.The book is also veryinformative if you are wondering how our own brain chemicals and outsidechemicals react and have effect on each other.Being that I am a doctor intraining and am contemplating the continuation of my education inneuroscience, I have found this book to be quite well worth reading...andthe fact that I have just begun to learn about medicine, and am notfamiliar with all terminology and explaination, makes this book great foreven the general public/anyone simply interested in the subject.I give itall five stars! Pleased
I have not quite finished the book yet(as I have only had it for a few days), however, I am intrigued!In opposition to the other review from France, it seems as though Dr. Hobson knows a great deal on the subject.Besides, the man has been studying neuropsych. for 30 years.His knowledgeobviously reflects his hard work and observation.Furthermore,"organization" is spelled with a "z," not an"s."

Dream is NOT a delirium
Hobson does not understand the topic he is studying. Dream is not at all a "delirium" but a very complex organisation of consciousness. ... Read more

Who invents our dreams?
Some dreams seem beyond our own personal creativity. Meditating on such dreams gave me my first taste of a "higher power," presence, a being, an intelligence or consciousness-take your pick-that knows me better than I know myself, that is worldly wise yet spiritually adept, and who seems very close at hand, if invisible. Is it possible to empathize with such a cosmic perspective?

Windows to the soul
This is a very insiteful and valuable book.It goes into detail of all that is involved in the making of dreams.Where they come from, how they develop and how we can make sense out of their nonsense.Definitely worth reading a few times.

Great insight to your own soul
I found this book a great tool.It gives practical tools for breaking apart the symbols of your dreams.I bought this book two years ago and didn't read it right away.I did write down a few dreams at that time. Recently I picked up the book and looked back at those dreams and was blownaway at the timing of the dreams to what was really happening in my life atthe time.If you want a deeper understanding of yourself and a guide ofbeing led by the Holy Spirit looking at your dreams is a must. As aChristian it was refreshing to have a book that spoke to me insteadbordering on fortune telling that alot of dream books lead to these days.

To Dream or not to....
My biggest problem with this book was that it didn't cover alot of things I dreamed about. Great for a first time user because of the easy to use format and language. I myself could have done without the biblical references(after all we're not all Christians) ... Read more

Editorial Review

It is a long-held notion of evolutionary theory that every aspect of behavior has an adaptive purpose, making the organism that exhibits it more fit for survival. That view hits a wall when it is brought to bear on dreaming, an act that seems to have no discernible adaptive advantage.Read more

Focus on the physiological
"Dreaming Souls" clearly lays out an anti-Freudian way of viewing dream content.Flanagan's focus on dreams as "free-riders" that coincidentally join us each night when we sleep is a fascinating way to interpret the latest in sleep science.
a seminal work on dreams i would give it a 4.5 if i could
owen flanagan does it once again in a great naturalistic work that sketches a controversial but logical theory in a controversial field.With experience in the philosophic, neuroscientific, and psychological fields owen is more than capable of proving his theory that dreams are not spandrels of sleep, they are fitness enhancing and although a biproduct of evolution are self expressive.He tackles all the neccessary and interesting questions from all his fields and creates an overal complex but clear and illuminating work that is a extreme pleasure to read

Interesting new information about the subject.
I really had mixed feelings about Owen Flanagan's book Dreaming Souls.Certainly anyone who expected the operant word to be "Souls" would definitely be disappointed.The focus of the book, as the subtitle "Sleep, Dreams, and the Evolution of the Conscious Mind" suggests, is the evolutionary function of sleep and dreams.In general he seems to feel that sleep and its stages probably has a vital evolutionary purpose, but dreaming is simply an emergent property, or spandrel--a Gouldism--that humans have put to various purposes throughout history and across cultures.I could certainly agree with that possibility.Read more

Great Book!
As an avid dreamer and someone who dreams nightly and remembers thierdreams, I was always asking myself "what the hell did that mean"!This book not only helped me in understanding what my dreams meant buttaught me valuable skills that I could use myself to unlock the messages ofmy dreams. Moreover by listening to and understanding my dreams I have beenable to use them to great success both in my personal and professionallife. It's like having my own private, personal adviser. I'm reading itagain!

Great Book!
This is a great book. As a person who dreams every night AND remembers hisdreams I've oftened wondered "what the hell did that mean". Thisis the first book I've read that not only tells what my dreams mean butalso taught me how I could interperate them myself. What's more byunderstanding what my dreams mean I've been able to use them to benefit mypersonal and professional life. It's lke having my own private, personaladvisor. The book is easy to read and well laid out, the author speaks inher own comfortable voice and doesn't bog us down in a lot of psychobabble. I'm reading it again!

Meh...
It's not so great. I've had better dream books in my time, although this book was my first. Just about every few interpretations it tells you you're dreaming that a baby is on the way, or death is imminent, now births and deaths can represent ups and downs in life quite simply, but... they make everything sound much more serious than it probably is.

Great book, great messages, lovely narrative
Through the storyline David manages to make us notice the wonder of the world and universe around us and then he does the really clever piece. He creates a compelling case that all of us as individuals can shape our own lives and in so doing actually contribute to the shape of the world around us and through that the universe. This book will give hope and energy to everyone who feels that they are stuck or that their life should amount to more.

I Once Was Blind, But Now I See
As the old saying goes "I Once Was Blind, But Now I See" is probably the most fitting for "Bonfire Lessons" by David Ruuskanen. It certainly has opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Simply, "Bonfire Lessons" has given me the tools to tap into my full potential. If one only reads one more book in their life, then "Bonfire Lessons" by David Ruuskanen is the book to read. Get ready for an energetic ride!

A life changing read...!
This book made me look at my life, and so called obstacles, in a completely different way.Totally empowering. ... Read more

Everything you need to know about your unconcious mind
If you think that dreams are trivial and unimportant then think again.As Jane Teresa Anderson explains, your dreams are the key to understanding why you feel and act as you do in certain situations. A Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation
This has to be one of the most useful guides to working with dreams available today.It has enough theory to satisfy the intellect, but the focus is on understanding and working with the dream via a set of well defined and easily followed methods. This is The One
Deciphering the meaning of dreams is something I've picked away at for years, but until coming across Jane Teresa Anderson I made little headway.This book is the answer .It is clear, well constructed and full of wisdom.And better than just helping you understand what you're dreams are telling you, it also tells you how to act on that information to change the things that aren't working in your life due to non-serving beliefs.This is real dream alchemy, enabling us all to find the gold in our lives through the wise and fascinating messages from our dreams. ...

Where is the scripture??
I read this book hoping for a scriptural analysis of the ideas behind dream interpretation. I want to know how to tell if a dream is from God. What are the scriptures that point to the dream life as a course for communication with God? How can we learn from our dreams without calling Greg himself? The book was filled with case after case of dreams the author has interpreted, but no real helpful information. Examples, not data. I was sorely disappointed and am still looking for a book that describes, in depth, the Christian perspective on the workings of the mind, precognitive dreams, etc. All I can find is New Age stuff and this unhelpful book.

watch out folks
Beware--this author isn't even a psychologist (as he claims), rather he got a degree from what the LA Times calls a "diploma mill". Do a little internet research before buying this stuff.

Dream Analysis
This is a book filled with dream analysis from a Christian point of view.Let me make it clear, this book is NOT only for Christians, There is no preaching, However, this is the first book that I have read that has interpretations that I feel I can relate to on a Faith level.This book is made up entirely of case studies, This is something that I truely enjoyed.Not only does Dr. Cynaumon tell you why a dream is scripturally based, but he also backs up his statements with the actual location in the Bible so you can look it up for yourself. ...

Wow!
I have the updated version of this book and it is really awesome! I'm very interested in dreams and what they mean. I also love the glossary that tells you what your dreams mean. That is very awesome! The dreams that I'm always having are blackout dreams and they're driving me crazy! A blackout dreams is you know you're dreaming but when you wake up you can't remember what it was about or what had happened in your dream.
Fascinating Material
This book covers a lot of different topics about dreams. Everything from lucid dreaming to out of body experiences to healing dreams, it's covered here. There are also chapters on how to remember and interpret your dreams (even "interviewing" the person having the dreams to help them better remember their dream). There's also a big "dream glossary" at the book's back, along with "inserts" discussing what particular symbols can mean. Even if the symbols you dream about have a different personal meaning for you, it's still helpful. Useless most of the time
This book is a big disappointment. I can never find references to what I am looking for in this book. I wouldn't recommend buying this book at all. ... Read more
