We know that not everyone will be able to visit The Academy of Dreams at Quantum House in London, so to complement the dream groups we run at the centre, we also have a number of ebooks that we use along side our courses. These include:
- What is a Dream? Reality, Perception and Mysticism in the Dream and Waking Worlds
- Your Guide To Lucid Dreaming
What is a Dream? Reality, Perception and Mysticism in the Dream and Waking Worlds
By Deborah Winterbourne
Have you ever pondered over questions such as: What is a dream? Where do dreams come from? Why do we dream? How much of dreaming is physiological and how much is psychological? Is dreaming a mystical experience? Are we being dreamed? These might be fundamental questions, but as yet, there appear to be no definite answers and much of the dream world remains a mystery.
If we were to seek answers to our dream questions, from what perspective might we attempt to do this? Does the dream belong to the world of science, psychology, anthropology, philosophy or spirituality? The answer, in part, would appear to depend upon the perception of the dreamer.
In contemplating the question ‘What is a dream?’ this ebook considers dreaming from seven different perspectives:
- Dreaming as science
- Dreaming as emotional metaphor
- Dreaming as a product of the collective unconscious
- Lucid dreaming
- Shamanic dreaming
- Dreaming and quantum mechanics
- Tibetan dream yoga
Discover how each of these seven perspectives relates to the question ‘What is a dream?’
Buy your copy of ‘What is a Dream? Reality, Perception and Mysticism in the Dream and Waking Worlds’ and perhaps you will never view the dream world . . or the waking world. . . again in the same way!
