Dreaming of Diana: The dreams Diana, Princess of Wales, inspired (Hardcover)

by Rita Frances (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Diana, Princess of Wales, was many things to many people: fairytale princess; role model; victim; goddess; neurotic; publicity seeker; mother; daughter and friend. Her image penetrated our psyches as no other public figure had done before. This book explores the way in which Diana moved ordinary people who had never met her, some who loved her, and others who disliked her. In this collection of dreams, ordinary people find parallels in their own lives with that of a woman who led a life most of us cannot imagine. This book may be about Diana, but it is more about us. There are no psychologists to interpret the dreams, no media pundits, political analysis or royal watchers imparting their wisdom. There are only dreamers, dreaming of Diana, and their dreams tell a fascinating story.

This was a very interesting read in the light of my own experience. My e-mail address was mistaken for Prince Williams's two years ago, and I was flooded with e-mails. To read my story, and the e-mails I received, visit http://members.tripod.co.uk/willnot

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving, intelligent and thought provoking read., October 11, 1999

This is more than your average "picture book" on Princess Diana. It's an unbiased account of the many dreams of Diana from people of all walks of life - some of them admirers of Diana, others who never gave her a passing thought. Many people dreamt about her all on the same night BEFORE they knew she had passed away. Diana has entered our collective consiousness more than we realize. This is also a very uplifting book instead of just being one of the run of the mill tribute books.

Dreams. Dreams of the Future. Dreams of the Past. Dreams of a Princess will Everlast. Was she real or but a dream's caress passed down to us from Lyonesse?

This book is the story of ordinary people who dreamed of Diana at the time of her passing. Evocative dreams, rich in symbolism and mystery.

She lives in us now, in our memory. She is the stuff of future history and legend past. She was a real person with all the hope and joy and more than her share of suffering. But her greatness emerges, even in the dreams of those who never knew her. Such was the force of her spirit. Such is the force of her goodness and humanitarian love unleashed.

Read the dreams, it is all threre for everyone to see.
