5.0 out of 5 stars Radical Dreaming knocks the others right off the shelf..., April 1, 2004

This review is from: Radical Dreaming: Use Your Dreams to Change Your Life (Paperback)

Dr. John Goldhammer's "Radical Dreaming" is groundbreaking, brilliant, and ultimately freeing for folks like myself who wish to uncover their true essence. The author goes to battle with much more than a pen; rather, he (to borrow from one of his images) "pulls the sword from the stone" in his own life and images, leaving the reader with only inspiration and courage to fight for his or her authenticity. And I've read many dream books before this one, but this book by far knocks the others right off the shelf...BUY it, READ it, and LOVE it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Radical Dreaming - THE BEST GUIDE to understanding dreams, March 29, 2004

This review is from: Radical Dreaming: Use Your Dreams to Change Your Life (Paperback)

Radical Dreaming is the absolute best book I've read in my endless search to understand my dreams. The book is not a "dictionary" of dreams, that simply gives a standard meaning for common dreams. Radical Dreaming teaches the reader the correct way to review and interpret dreams on an individual basis, showing how a similar dream could have dozens of meanings depending upon the individual and their circumstances. I am fascinated by what I've read and hope that Dr. Goldhammer continues to write on this subject. If you really want to dive deeper into the meaning of your dreams, this is the book for you. You will surprise yourself the first time you are able to dissect a dream and understand exactly where it came from. Dr. Goldhammer really opened my eyes with this one. GREAT READING!
