From the Back Cover

The main obstacle to understanding dreams is the censorship the ego sometimes imposes to protect its self image. One of the ways to overcome this censorship is to use interpretative techniques that by-pass the ego and stir memories and associations within the unconscious. This book describes thirty such techniques. They are tools to help you work productively with your own dreams and the dreams of others.
Each technique has step by step instructions that can be used by individuals in their own home, one-on-one in professional counseling or therapy, or by groups; whether dream groups, schools and colleges or corporate businesses.
The book also contains valuable information about the ethical sharing of dreams, and suggestions as to how, and why, dream studies can be introduced into the school curricula. There are also detailed Lesson Plans designed for use with children aged seven to eleven.

"I would highly recommend this treasure chest of dream riches for anyone wishing to discover just how powerful and multilayered dreams can be."
