Rezensionen

"Understanding Dreams and Other Spontaneous Images is a significant contribution to understanding and befriending dreams, those nightly visitors which inform and connect us to the greater realms of nature and the cosmos. Dr. Goodwyn has a gift for integrating a vast range of research and boiling it all down to digestible and useful concepts - the best dreamwork manual since Robert A. Johnson's Inner Work."
- Jerry M. Ruhl, Ph.D., psychologist, teacher, and co-author of Living Your Unlived Life and Balancing Heaven and Earth.

"Drawing on a wide range of dream theorists and researchers, the author explores dream interpretation (Jungian concepts, etc.) in light of anthropology, folklore, mythology, neuroscience, dynamic systems theory, and other disciplines. Created as a practical guide for working with dreams, the book will appeal particularly to Jungian therapists as well as to a broader audience.This contemporary and creative text brings a renewed interest to the exploration of dreams."
