Remarkably Accessible Key to the Willingness of Recovery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Recurring Dreams: A Journey to Wholeness (Paperback)
If there are any accidents, my first contact with this author seemed to be one. Acquainted with her work on National Public Radio, my wife asked me to attend Kathleen Sullivan's presentation of her research paper to the 16th International Conference of The Association for the Study of Dreams, at the University of California Santa Cruz. Even in that rarified setting, I was unprepared for the warmth, personal relevance and impact of her information. Her pioneering exploration of the often-ignored phenomenon of serial dreams [and the active symbols they employ] struck a chord with my own experience...in which, having been urged to keep a dream journal for years, I'd found the results almost entirely indecipherable. Much thanks to amazon.com, I was able to quickly find this, her latest yet published book. I continue to re-read it and to use its valuable insights...as have several close friends in this country and abroad whom amazon has made it easy for me to gift with it. Among so many works intended to make it possible for us humans to understand and change our lives, Kathleen's shared experience and good council stands out clearly.

Satisfied Reader,
By A Customer
This review is from: Recurring Dreams: A Journey to Wholeness (Paperback)
Reading Kathleen Sullivan's RECURRING DREAMS was so satisfying. She courageously uses her specific and recurring dreams to understand, on many levels, what is going on in her life. This is a fascinating, colorful and creative process. She lets us know that the unconscious can be accessible through dreams and once brought out into the open, is a useful tool to help understand out present day realities.Each chapter begins with interesting information about dreams in general. This is then followed up by an insightful quote relevant to the presented material. From page l67, on a chapter titled "Imperfection", by Joan Borysenko,Ph.D.: "It takes a lot of nerve to believe that we can or should be able to outwit natural laws, but perfectionism requires just that. As a strategy evolved to ensure love and approval, (perfectionism) is rooted deep in the fears and longings of childhood, making it an emotional need, not an intellectual choice." I found RECURRING DREAMS to be not only satsifying but exciting as well. Through dreams, we can get to know ourselves from the inside out. How intimate and how necessary!

Candid, honest, direct, and instructional,
By Caroline S. Redmon (Watsonville, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Recurring Dreams: A Journey to Wholeness (Paperback)
The above reviews say a lot of what I would say. So I'll just add that it's refreshing to read an author who is candid about her own challenges and lessons.This book is really two in one. First a fascinating story and then practical, clear directions for doing your own dreamwork. It's a must for those who want to discover their own truth and guidance. (offered up into consciousness through the dream) This author walks her talk. The proof is in the transformation she's achieved in her life.
