- Summary:
- A remarkable book that examines evidence contradicting the assumptions of mainstream science about what is possible both in the dreamworld and in waking life. The book argues that dreams are a multidimensional feedback system that sheds light on virtually every major area of the dreamer's existence, namely the body, the mind, society, the environment, the cosmos, as well as the dreamer's possible relationship to the spirit-world and the divine.
