From Publishers Weekly

In his earlier works, Conscious Dreaming and Dreamgates, Moss introduced readers to his unique perspective on dreams, whether they appear in deep REM sleep or the "twilight zone" between sleep and wakefulness. Now Moss travels further down the path of remembering, interpreting and "working with" dreams to guide the reader toward seeing possible futures in them and consciously choosing between outcomes. Rooted firmly in his belief that anything that can be dreamed can be manifested (except changing basic personality traits and "karmic traces" or extending one's allotted time on earth), he explores in detail how to remember and employ dreams for the improvement of both individual and community life. Moss presents a detailed and thorough step-by-step method of dream journaling, sharing dreams aloud with other people, asking for guidance and going back into dreams at will to gain further information. He rejects blanket analyses and contends that dreaming allows us to communicate with a higher spiritual plane of reality, which cannot be used for such trivial projects as predicting winning lotto numbers. Moss also offers an especially provocative discussion of current scientific experiments involving time travel and the possibility of using the dream-state to affect not only the future, but also the past. This manual provides a fresh look at a timeworn topic.

Product Description

In our dreams, all of us are psychic.
-- Robert Moss

Dream True

Change the way you dream...and take control of your destiny

Robert Moss helps countless people live more enriched lives by working with the energy and insight of their dreams and becoming conscious dream journeyers. One of the greatest dreamers of all time was Harriet Tubman, who personally escorted three hundred slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad. On the eve of the American Civil War, Tubman was guided by specific dreams to safe houses, river crossings, and friendly helpers she had never encountered previously.

As Moss explains, our own dreams run like an Underground Railroad through our lives, offering us paths to creativity, healing, and mutual understanding. He shows us how to dream true the way Harriet Tubman dreamed true: how to dream the future, how to go back inside our dreams to clarify their messages and use the information to make wiser choices, and how to bring through life-helping guidance for others.

Dreaming True explores many levels of dreaming and how we can "dream with the body" in order to stay well. Moss offers simple and practical techniques for working with a dream journal to catch -- and act on -- messages about the distant future and tap into our creative source. He shows us how to dream our way toward a better job, a better relationship, and creative fulfillment.

Presented with Moss' trademark humor and down-to-earth style, Dreaming True helps us rediscover what ancient dreamers knew: through dreaming we can become active co-creators of our future, bringing positive energy and insight from a deeper reality into our physical world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams enrich our lives in many ways......, October 16, 2000

By	"kekumaielani" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I have read his previous books, Conscious Dreaming and Dream Gates the book and Dreamgates the tapes.. I found this book to be rich in narrative, vibrant in energy, sort of "the how to" on understanding the many and varied levels of dreaming. His prose is sharp witted, with some very sly humor thrown in. He is humble in his approach so everyone from corporate executives to street cleaners can enjoy a richer more creative life. Dare to dream!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!, June 14, 2003

By	Dennis Archambault (Calabasas, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dreaming True is about you. It is about your future as you dream it. It is about your life as you change it for the better. All of Robert Moss' writings are good, whether in his other books, Dreamgates or Conscious Dreaming... he addresses life issues. What I like most about Dreaming True is at its heart, the Soul, our dream Soul. Each of us has likely lost parts of it. Whether through trauma, intense humiliation and betrayal - by others or from ourselves, we are left with a yearning. People sense that their life has holes. They long to be creatively fulfilled and to have freedom from despair. Self-numbing works but the zest, the exuberance of and for life is lost. Your dreams, as Robert discusses them, are a way to be engaged with your deepest Self, to embrace your spiritual manifestation in these few days of your life in this realm. Your dreams bring you back to wholeness. This book is about you taking control of your destiny...

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your ordinary reality..., June 16, 2003

By	"madamezanzibar" (Quesnel, BC Canada) - See all my reviews

In Dreaming True, Robert Moss expands his magnificent contribution to dreamers everywhere. He opens up multiple dimensions of dreaming, from practical information to spiritual guidance, physical and emotional healing, all in a way that's accessible, entertaining and inspiring to read.
Through personal experiences, traditional stories from a wide range of cultures, and the teachings of Wise Ones throughout history, he awakens us to the profound role that dreaming plays in every facet of our lives. As the opening line of his preface says, "The common wisdom of most human societies, as far back as we can trace, is that dreaming is central to the human condition." In a world where so many people feel disconnected from their humanness, and certainly from their primal roots, dreaming is a perfectly personalized path to wholeness.
This book offers myriad ways to access the guidance he's talking about. How do you catch and record your dreams so that you can use them? How do you know if you're dreaming the future? What can you do if you foresee disaster? How can dreams enhance your health? How can you transform your nightmares into joyous, healing experiences? Why do the dead appear in our dreams? Can you really change the cellular memory of your body to heal disease? How can you really use your dreaming to create the future you want? Moss deals clearly and explicitly with these issues, and more.
The most fascinating part of the book, to me, was his discussion of the Seven Levels of Dreaming: Dream Recycling (processing the day), Dream Moviemaking (showing us where we are and where our actions are leading), Dreaming with the Body (direct feedback from the physical), Psychic Dreaming (from the shared mind-field), Transpersonal Dreaming (meeting others, living and dead), Sacred Dreaming (encounters with higher beings), and Dreambringing (working on energy and imaginal levels to shape physical reality for the better). This helps me recognize the import of a dream, and gives me a framework for relating it to my growth on every level.
I'll never be without this book in my library.
