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!

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!

Having spent the last 10 years exhausting many dream works - Dr. Goldhammer's "Radical Dreaming" arrives on the scene like a cool stream with fresh running water! He is an explorer with a map - which is both personal and universal. If you are called to live a radically different life, one must follow Dr. Goldhammer's suggestion and deepen in your own understanding of the language of your soul...

I don't read self-help books and surely don't read anything by anyone on dreams, except for maybe Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz or Robert Johnson. `Radical Dreaming' changed that for me. For those of you looking for step-by-step "answers" to your dreams, you will be disappointed here. For those of you wishing to open up to new worlds, this book could very well change your life. Radical in the sense that it dares to go beyond Jung's ideas and challenges what we have thought about dream work up until now. Radical also in how it will shake up your status quo existence. A must have for the nighttime dreamer.

This book is fantastic! It is NOT a formula book with specific meanings of symbols in dreams. It teaches you, quite effectively, how to interpret your own dreams.

Since reading it I have had both mundane and spectacular dreams and I have intuited the meaning of each one. The interpretation is in how it relates specifically to YOU and your life as it stands right now!

For anyone who is searching for answers, this is an invaluable text to have on your nightstand!

The examples in this book were extraordinary. However, there seemed to be a lack of structure to the book. I was left wondering what I should be getting out of the examples; what was the lesson learned here? Specific information is scattered throughout this text. I would use this as an introduction to controlling your dreams, but not as an instruction book.

A great book on uncovering the unlimited possibilities of dreamwork. Whether your new to dreamwork or been exposed to it for years, this book offers a practical, intuitive, and very assessible guide to using your dreams to better understand yourself, life situations, and live authentically. Tools are given to the reader that assist in discovering your own personal intrepretation of your dream symbology.
A refreshing approach that offers sophistication and simplicity. Dr. Goldhammer points the reader in the "right direction" leaving the reader ultimately in the driver's seat to go as far as you desire.

A fantastically unique and thought-provoking work. This book will delight anyone with even a passing interest in the mysteries of dreaming... Highly recommended!!
