Best introduction to Dream Work you will find

Taylor's book is the best introduction to dreamwork one can find on the market. The author writes out of a Jungian/Depth psychology perspective. Every page is filled with psycho-spiritual insight. This book provides useful tips on how to take on this rather large subject, recognizing as it does that "dreams come at the service of health and healing." If you have often wanted to reconcile your life choices with your unconcious, by aligning both with your actions this book is for you. But by doing so, spiritual unification may be the results of your efforts; in this sense, this book is a must read. The author notes that the dream state not only provides healing when we actively listen to the language in our dream states, but opens deeper levels of insight into collective, personal, and future events. Great book in my view!

Taylor's book is EXCELLENT

For anyone who is interested in what it means to work with their dreams, for anyone who would like to know WHY it is useful to do this, Taylor's book is an excellent place to begin. He takes you through all the basic questions, including hints to improve dream recall (for those of us who insist we can't remember what we've dreamed in the night), all the way through various aspects of what various elements in our dreams are likely to mean. He also looks at how the knowledge gained through dream analysis may be applied our waking lives.
