The Last of the Dream People is love at first read! Part adventure-thriller, part erotic metaphysical novel--the first time I read it too fast. Then I read it again, savoring the details of Parker's dreaming universe. I gave it to my husband and my son to read, and I encouraged all of my friends to read it. This book can change your life. It lives in my memory--the dream people feel like my people now.

This is a great book! The main character, an American WWII pilot crashes into the jungle and is drawn into the very different world of the tribespeople who rescue him. Imagery is vivid & compelling and the characters live. This is a very readable book which operates on many levels. First it is a compelling story---the kind where you keep wanting to read just one more chapter. But it is also a book of interesting and novel ideas...which are relevant not just to the characters of the book but to our lives now. Ultimately, this was one of those rare books which carried me into its world so completely and pleasantly that its people and imagery remained in my consciousness long after I finished it. .

This draws heavily on the work of dream researchers...but instead of having to attend a seminar or read a study, you can get the real meat of Kilton Stewart's work in an entertaining and provocative novel. A real page turner!

A World War II pilot crashes and finds himself in a lush tropical jungle where he is nursed back to health by a native tribe who teach him how to understand and act on his dreams. The plot and setting are fantastical.The ultimate meaning is a metaphysical message of survival-for the hero who learns to survive by loving, not grasping and, by extension, the need for humanity to turn away from destruction and toward a loving existence.
