I have trusted his books for some time because he has a gift for using Jungian principles and keeping things simple. By using archetypal comparisons rather than personal anecdotes, his approach to teaching you how to explore dreams is direct and unbiased. He offers an overview of necessary terms and reminds us (quoting from Carl Jung) that "God speaks in dream."This book does not claim to be the ultimate book on dream analysis but it gives you the tools to explore your unconscious in his 4-step to Active Imagination. His approach to understanding symbols empowers you to make your own definitions and associations, rather than telling you what they mean universally, because everyone is different - and that is so the case with my daughter.If you are looking to develop the understanding your mind at sleep, this is a great introduction. I would also suggestThe Nightmare Solutionfor other approaches on working out your dreams and We, He, and She by Robert Johnson.A readable small book helps understand what Jung started in Red BookHaving been fascinated with Brain Science podcast, in particular notions of impulse control: that make humans go farther than apes and afford keys to gain empathy so important for caring for aged so they don't withdraw because they are losing impulse control, I had been reading another difficult book.What a relief to finish and at last get to this.The introduction immediately engaged me with examples of people seeing behaviors coming out of themselves that surprised them as if there were another person inside taking over.As I understand, we have a number of different repressed personalities that can break out which we surpress and disown most of the time. Active imagination has us have conversation with them so both of us change. This can release enormous psychological energy to us. Jung had these conversations to become a spirit guide.Claude Steiner wrote of loss of impulse control as a stage toward empathy, a necessary stage, for men, as I recall, but can't document. Empathy for the shadow unleashes powerful spiritual forces, the watcher, a nonjudgemental entity that leaves one unattached ie. not identifying with harmful behaviors so one can heal from them without psychically dying.
