Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the best and most complete introductions to dreamwork."—Spiritual Frontiers
"At the more interesting end of the dream book spectrum we find books like Bosnak's, in which, after the basics of remembering and recording are taken care of, we get a taste of the interest and excitement the author feels on the subject of dreams, as we are invited to involve ourselves in our dreams, first through the eyes of the author and then entirely on our own."—New Age Digest
"Why do I like this book? It's full of surprises, charming, intelligent, subtle yet simple; not mystical or pompous as dream books tend to be. It never talks down. Ideas are original, deep, and many, and they are packed right into dream examples. This 'little course' is big stuff! There's nothing like it anywhere."—James Hillman, author of The Soul's Code --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

I loved this book,
By "juice73" (Ephrata, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Little Course in Dreams (Paperback)
If your want to start a dream journal, this is a great book. It is small enough to take anywhere. He also uses real people's dreams to illistrate different exercises and ideas which really helped me understand my own dreams better.

Simple, clear, deep,
This review is from: A Little Course in Dreams (Paperback)
It may only be 121 pages long, but this slim volume is the best introduction to Jungian dreamwork that I've ever read. Each brief chapter is written in a deceptively conversational, non-convoluted style that contains a wealth of complex information -- not just important facts, but plenty to think about afterwards. For example, the chapter on alchemy & its symbolic value in dreamwork is all of 14 pages ... but it enables me to understand the basics of Jung's alchemical approach to the psyche more clearly than entire books. Bosnak may be providing us with nothing more than starting points, but they're solid & surprisingly rich in detail & substance. It's as if this skilled & understanding analyst is speaking directly to the reader, not just as doctor to patient, but as person to person.If you're at all interested in exploring the world & meaning of your dreams, but you're daunted by the sheer immensity of the subject, and unsure of where to start -- well, this is the place -- most highly recommended!
