Having read and loved Ms. Kaplan's first book on dreaming, THE WOMAN'S BOOK OF DREAMS, I eagerly awaited the publication of this new book. I am delighted to say that it surpassed my expectations. Connie imparts original and exciting information about dreams and dreaming that I have not encountered in other texts. The most inovative aspect of her dream wisdom is the notion that dreams come to us directly from the creative forces and energies of the universe, and that tuning into them can become a profound spiritual practice. What a relief! We are doing important spiritual work even as we sleep and dream.

The author presents a wonderful collage of her personal experiences with dreaming as a spiritual practice, excellent and clear examples of many levels of dreaming, and intriguing dream material from memebers of her various classes and Dream Circles. I believe that anyone who is interested in looking at their dreams can find a place of resonance in this book.

Connie Kaplan's most recent book is divinely inspired teachings on the deeper meanings and purposes of dreams. It goes so far above and beyond the normal personal symbolic or psychological analysis and into the spiritual realms. Our soul, through our dreams speaks to us, guides us, and helps us to remember who we really are and why we are here, both individually and collectively. Dreams model to us the shift from the egocentric level to that of a cohesive community working together for the greater good for all, which we then can manifest in our own waking reality. Quite profound!

Connie Kaplan's book "Dreams Are Letters from the Soul : Discover the Connections Between Your Dreams and Your Spiritual Life" is amazing to read. She has a wonderfully positive and loving view of dreaming and the messages contained therein. I have read this book back to front and front to back and keep on getting more and more insight from it!! Connie's first book, "The Woman's Book of Dreams..." whet my appetite for this more detailed view of dreaming. "Dreams Are Letters from the Soul..." offered me life changing ideas and still captivates my mind long after the covers are closed.

My Soul thanks you, Connie.

Connie Kaplan's book "Dreams Are Letters from the Soul : Discover the Connections Between Your Dreams and Your Spiritual Life" is a fluffy, one-sided view of the dream landscape. Connie Kaplan has an entertaining, engaging writing style that makes her book an easy, understandable read. She explains the different levels of dreams and provides good examples. Yet there is something lacking right from the start.

One realizes very on in this work that Connie is only writing about women and their dreams. Only at the very end of her book does she mention a man's dream, inadequately describing its significance.

Ms. Kaplan has obviously only worked with women for this book. What happened to the men and their perspective? Don't they dream too? I felt like I only got half of the story when I read this book. An analogy would be like talking about a day (24 hours) and leaving out the whole part about the sun shining. Sure the moon is beautiful and so are the stars, but what about the light and the sun.

There are many other books out there about dreams that tell more of the whole story.
