4.0 out of 5 stars Lowering the Volume, February 2, 2000

By A Customer

I had heard some good things about this book from people I know personally. But when I read some of the reviews posted on Amazon.com, I hesitated. At least two of the reviewers gave it one star and said AWFUL things about it and the author, whose other work they seemed to know and also hated. But they seemed focused on trashing, and I wondered if they had an ax to grind. (Why, one asks oneself, if they hated this author so much already, would they have bought and read this book at all?) Then there were one or two other reviews that gave 5 stars and rhapsodized on about the author and his background--almost as if they were personal friends of his. Then others of the reviews seemed non-hysterical and at least favorable. I wondered what all the commotion was about. Now that I've read the book myself, I can report that I have quite a favorable impression. No, this is not a scientifically structured book by dream researchers, which seemed to be one of the big objections of the outraged trashers. Instead, I'd say it's a bit more like "Conversations With God," or the works of Marianne Williamson, only with a dream orientation. If you're basically uncomfortable with the idea that God (or Spirit) exists and can speak to us or guide us, however subtly, through dreams, you may hate this book--because that is its unabashed premise. But if that idea is something you already believe and trust and are OK with, you may very well come to love this book and find in it a great deal of wisdom for self-development. Each chapter is broken down into a lot of subheadings that I found very easy to browse. And, there are many, MANY examples of ways that dreams can be interpreted intuitively to provide answers to problems and aid in personal spiritual growth. Scientific or not, this book had an authentic and honest feel to it in talking about dreams. I love dreams and dream study, and so did this author. I have strongly recommended it to friends who are interested in exploring dreams from a spiritual perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just another book on interpreting dream symbols, January 8, 2000

By	Adrian S. McBride (Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews

Harold Klemp's book goes far beyond dream books that simply seek to interpret symbols in dreams. He explains that dreams have a vital purpose: they are your spiritual report card.

Harold Klemp shares more than 50 tips and spiritual exercises to aid in understanding what dreams are, how one can actively, consciously dream, how to find answers through dreams regarding health concerns, personal relationships and business decisions and how to interpret and understand dreams.

He offers an easy way to keep the interpretation of dreams simple. At p. 164, he writes: "Look at each dream in one of three levels. They are about our daily life, our emotions and thoughts, and, less often, about the pure spiritual side. So, simply put, there are dreams about our everyday events, our emotional well-being, and our relationship with God."

He also offers practical advice when beginning a dream study. It does not have to be an all-out assault on your inner worlds. You can make it as easy as you like. All it takes is a sincere request to remember and understand your dreams.

The tips and spiritual exercises are practical and easy to do, though, as with any exercise program, they take practice. I have been recording my dreams off and on for years but I was unable to get an understanding of what my dreams were telling me. This book provided me with simple steps to begin to explore the depths of my dreams and their significance. The author gave me valuable tips on what to do when my dreams appeared to dry up. The jumble and clutter of my dreams has started to sort out and my experiences have at times been breathtakingly sharp.

Harold Klemp writes with directness, simplicity and with a sincere desire to help people awaken to the potential of their dreams.

I recommend this book and I have passed on copies to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams are the forgotten road to heaven., January 26, 2000

By	Joe Federico (Custer, Washington) - See all my reviews

Harold Klemp's book explains that dreams are your gateway to the inner worlds. He than shares over 50 tips and spiritual exercises to show you how to understand, remember and use your dreams. If you follow the guidlines in the book, they do work. I told my cousin about the book who could almost never remember dreams and he was amazed that he started having vivid dream recall with a direct connection to everyday life. This is the best dream book out there! It gives you specific information on how to remember your dreams and actually do dream travel or soul travel. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I keep it by my bed and do a spiritual exercise before going to sleep. It is truly an adventure!
