Editorial Reviews

Review

Here, Gayle Delaney, founder of the Association for the Study of Dreams and dream theory researcher for over 20 years, offers techniques for dream interpretation to enhance creativity and to help deal with problems. This book shows how to understand the metaphoric language of dreams through a host of specific examples: dream settings, people, animals, feelings and events. But the focus is on learning to apply the insights you gain to solve problems and fine-tune your judgment. She presents the dream interview process as a method we can learn to use on ourselves and with others. What emerges here is a vision of a state of being in which each of us can access the meanings of our dreams, help others to do so and achieve an open channel between waking and dreaming. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

More About the Author

Founding President, International Association for the Study of Dreams, Summa Cum laude Princeton University, PhD in Clinical Psychology, Union Graduate School, Co-Director with Loma K. Flowers, MD, Delaney & Flowers Center for the Study of Dreams.

Pioneer in the use of dreams for problem solving and in the interpretation of dreams using "Dream Interview" questions rather than preconceived beliefs, myths, psychological dogma, or the interpreter's projections often called intuitions.
My approach will appeal only to those who do not need a guru, and want to figure out what their own brains are telling them at night in their own private language.

I have presented this non-denominational dream work on hundreds of TV shows including Oprah, NBC Nightly News, Today Show, GMA, Anderson 380 and at many Universities and private and professional societies. My goal is to get the superstition out of dream work, to teach people how to understand the meaning and usefulness of their dreaming minds that are so very adept at helping one to recognize, assess, and resolve daily problems and opportunities.

If you remember that even your nightmares are there to help you, you can save yourself years of confusion, conflict, and in come cases, bad marriages and unwise decisions. Your dreams don't do the work for you, they do not decide things for you, they give you the fuller picture of the situation so you can make better choices.

My books focus on practical applications of my Dream Interview method which I began to formulate one day in 1971 in a class on dreaming at Princeton when I was a senior. I tell the story in Living Your Dreams.

My favorite book? Ah! For teaching the "Dream Interview" method, Breakthrough Dreaming: How to Use the Power of Your 24-Hour Mind. For sheer fun: Sensual Dreaming. For the beginner, In Your Dreams. For problem solving in Dreams: Living Your Dreams. For an overview of my work and the field, All About Dreams. All are described on my site: www.gdelaney.com. There you will also find a couple of videos from my Today Show talks on dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, a truly great book on "Dreaming", October 13, 2007
This review is from: Breakthrough Dreaming (Paperback)
I have read many books on dreaming, and most fall into silly, sophomoric exercises in Horoscope or pop-psychology interpretations of the "train going into a tunnel, with a huge black steam engine means..." variety.
At last, here is an informative, and extremely insightful exposition of a most fascinating topic-dreams. Dr. Delaney's background in Psychology gives her the capacity to lay a scholarly framework to the subject of dreams. This would often be the death nell of such works, however, this author's uncommon good sense and ability to convey the wonders of the dream experience and show you how to tap your own experience to "analyze" your own dreams, is the first of any books on the subject I've read, which is worthy of keeping by your nightstand. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
