5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Less Than Brilliant, November 25, 2009

By	Julie Clayton "New Consciousness Review" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Wisdom of Your Dreams is far more than just another dream book: it is a unique and exciting journey into our unconscious, where symbols, soul urges, and the creative muse romp, untethered by earthly anchors. Understanding the language of your unconscious and its dream messages can transform your life deeply and profoundly. If you're looking for cookie-cutter interpretations of dream images and a quick dream-meaning fix, this is NOT the book for you.

Author Jeremy Taylor is an erudite and eloquent dream master who draws from four decades of teaching and facilitating thousands of people to work with their dreams individually as well as in dream groups. His classic guidelines for working with dream imagery and sharing dreams in group dreamwork are unparalleled in their non-dogmatic approach and scope of application. A new introduction and chapter in this updated version of "Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill" elaborates on how the evolution of consciousness, something that is highly relevant in this modern era, is yet another layer of meaning that we can glean from working with our dreams. And, as is one of Jeremy Taylor's trademark signatures, we are reminded that even (or especially) in an evolutionary context, and regardless of the content, "dreams always come in the service of health and wholeness."

With Taylor as our guide, in The Wisdom of Your Dreams we find ourselves popping down rabbit holes of psyche and psychology, culture and mythology, symbols and spirit, creativity and potential. He brings to this field astounding and original theories about the universal and personal meanings of dreams and dreamwork and offers many real life stories and dream examples, which convey the astuteness of his perceptions. A veteran teacher and dream group leader, Taylor's understanding of how archetypes, mythology, psyche, and culture weave together a vibrant dreamscape that is indeed the "workshop of conscious evolution" is nothing less than brilliant.

Jeremy Taylor is a master dream weaver and teacher. I read the original "Where People Fly"... and this book was long overdue to be renewed and energized. I have worked with Jeremy in a dream group and this is a truly joyful and enlightening experience. I hear his voice and wisdom imparted in this wonderful book. He offers a specific blueprint to build your dream work upon. Dr. Taylor is a wizard and his extensive love of dreams shines through this narrative. The book is practical in its scope of how dreams connect us to ourselves, others and the universe. This book is highly recommended no matter what stage of dream work a person finds themselves.
