Product Description

What if you could dream 24 hours a day, even while awake? According to innovative psychotherapist Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., we already do. The seeds of dreaming arise in every moment of the day, in body symptoms, problems, relationships, subtile feelings, interactions, random thoughts, and fantasies. We're getting countless little cues from the unconscious every minute. All are signs from the world of dreaming. And, according to Mindell, we can be in this state of lucid dreaming all day long.

In Dreaming While Awake, Mindell shows how to become aware of these "flirts" from the dreamworld and how to interpret their message. The goal, he says, is to be wide awake and lucid 24 hours a day in the midst of this unending dreamfield of information.

Practicing 24-hour lucid dreaming:

  • Helps you solve personal, physical, and emotional problems
  • Serves as a preventive medicine for relationships and health, helping you catch the earliest warning signs before they turn into problems
  • Helps resolve conflicts in relationships, families, large groups, corporations, even politics

Dreaming is the mystical source of reality, says Mindell. "My goal is to make the Dreaming roots of reality so accessible, so visceral, that your conscious mind will give you back your right to dream."

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreaming While Awake, March 8, 2003
Arnold Mindell, Ph.D. has written more than a dozen books, and is known throughout the world for his work with dreams, bodywork, consciousness, shamanism, and conflict resolution. He's the founder of the therapy known as Process Oriented Psychology and has established training centers in 22 countries. Dr. Mindell has appeared on TV and radio and at conferences worldwide. He draws on his extensive experience and knowledge in his latest book, Dreaming While Awake: Techniques for 24-Hour Lucid Dreaming.

In it, he explains that Dreaming (always with a capital letter) is "the energy behind everything; it is the life force of all living beings, the power of trees and plants, and the power of motors, business, and financial centers." While the dreaming we do at night has an important part in all this, Dreaming occurs 24 hours a day. Dr. Mindell says that "the Dreaming is always present, like an aura shimmering around the objects and events you call everyday life."

His goal is to help readers "learn to move through and behind the world of everyday life, exploring the world of healing, divination, and immortality." He begins by defining Dreaming and discussing it in terms of religion, philosophy, and science. He then explains how it enhances personal health (mental and physical), relationships, and work situations.

Dr. Mindell provides several simple exercises that individuals can use alone or with others to train themselves in becoming aware of the subtleties of Dreaming. He says that many people have an undefinable sense of something wrong or missing in their lives and says this is because they unwittingly are only seeing half their lives and half the world--they aren't accessing Dreaming.

Dreaming While Awake is not a dream interpretation book. Instead, it guides readers on a journey of recognition. A hidden world of information exists, with clues provided by the unconscious on a continual basis. Individuals interested in learning to understand and use their Dreaming will find the help they seek in Dreaming While Awake.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and usable, May 13, 2001
This book is something of a relief after the complex difficulties of Mindell's previous book Quantum Mind (which itself is well worth working through). I think that Mindell's sense of playfulness comes through this book perhaps more clearly than through any of the others and this helped me to entertain some of the theoretical ideas with my own sense of playfulness. I don't mean that this isn't a serious book - it is thought provoking and challenging with exercises which encourage the reader to explore the ideas through practice - but that it is essentially a creative one. All the basic ideas of Process Work are here in an accessible form.

What's the key idea in the book? That we marginalise 'the deepest unformulated experiences that create [our] actions in everyday life', that is, we ignore the subtle signals from the dreaming background to our reality, those 'vague feelings and intuitions that can barely be verbalized', and that this marginalization is at the heart of our problems. Dreaming While Awake offers a way to bring this dreaming background into awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreaming as Spiritual Practice, February 19, 2001
By Steve Gillard "The 23rd Floor" (Port Townsend, Washington USA) - See all my reviews
As an aficionado of books about shamanism, dreaming, and quantum (meta) physics, I have been a fan of Arnold Mindell since reading Dreambody several years ago. Two of his most recent books, Quantum Mind and this one, Dreaming While Awake, are absolutely benchmarks. Arnold connects lucid dreaming, aboriginal spirituality, Buddhism, Hinduism, process psychology, group work, body work, and a host of other intriguing elements in a clear and practical way. Eminently readable and enthusiastically recommended.
