Dreams: The Magic of the Night is for people who want to understand their dreams. It shows the reader how to do this through examples from the author's dream journals. A framework for understanding dreams is presented in the first few chapters, illustrated by examples. After that, any chapter may be read in any order. The first chapter is a short autobiography so that readers will understand where the author is coming from. This is important because a basic principle in dream interpretation is that the best interpreter of a dream is the dreamer. We know ourselves better than anyone else. The goal of dreamwork is always greater self-understanding and self-awareness. The world of dreams is a vast inner universe. From physical health to divine revelations, dreams give us much that we simply would not understand without them. By working with dreams, the dreamer gradually uncovers more and more of his/her true identity. Some dreams make us very uncomfortable as we begin to see where we have maintained a destructive attitude and so have deprived ourselves of fuller, richer living. Other dreams bring us new insights accompanied by joy and exaltation. In the final analysis, dreams are a means to an end. There is no benefit in just remembering your dreams but never understanding them. The goal is to live a wonderful life in our waking hours. Dreams: The Magic of the Night will put you on a path to the full realization of this.
