Coming Home
Being a Maryland girl but living far away, these poems brought me back home! I am a huge Bruce Hornsby fan too so it was fun finding the lines to the songs that I know here and there! The poems made me laugh, think and cry. Thanks for the trip back home!

Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self15 reviews
Robert Waggoner
Moment Point Press, Inc., 2008
Just awesome
I've read my fair share of books about lucid dreaming and there are certainly better how-to books, but I'm glad that this isn't another how-to book. No other book on lucid dreaming has fascinated and inspired me as much as this one.
Before I read this book I just saw my lucid dreams as a playground where I could live out my fantasies. Now it's so much more than that. It feels like I've just ...

Dreaming of Columbus : A Boyhood in the Bronx27 reviews
Michael Pearson
Syracuse University Press, 1999
Familiar Themes in Dreaming of Columbus
Despite the images of sea voyages inspired by its title, Dreaming of Columbus is not the story of a young man spending his salad days in exotic, foreign settings. Instead, Michael Pearson takes the road less traveled and keeps his story closer to home. The reader looking for journeys will not be disappointed, however, in the imaginative way the Pearson uses literature to break away from the ...

Dreaming Me12 reviews
Janice Dean Willis
Riverhead Trade, 2002
Universal Dreaming
This book was read in one marathon session that flew by all too quickly. It spoke to the very core of my being. Having this story told in such a personal way deftly teaches the reader at every level. It's well written and one could easily be fooled that they are simply being entertained with a good read. There were many moments where I felt stunned with deep recognition of a life experience ...

Aftermath of Dreaming: A Novel14 reviews
Delaune Michel
Harper Paperbacks, 2007
A Wonderful Book
I knew the author in New York City and recently came across her novel. She really captures the vulnerability that we all had as young ladies trying to build our lives with very little money. I really enjoyed the novel and the relationship with the "Famous Actor" is so perfectly described and truly heart wrenching. Yvette (the main character) is very sympathetic and you root for her to find ...

Blackjack: Dreaming of a Morgan Horse (Morgan Horse Series)12 reviews
Ellen F. Feld
Willow Bend Pub, 2004
Finally, a YA horse-book that's realistic!
I love Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse books. I love them because they don't ask the reader to believe that teenaged girls can solve crimes, stop the destruction of rural America, or take a half-starved rescue horse on Monday and win the KY Derby on him the following weekend. OK; I'm exaggerating. It usually takes them at least 6 months before they win the Derby.
Ms. Feld's books are realistic in ...

The Secret History of Dreaming12 reviews

New World Library, 2008
The Secret History of Dreaming
Often the assumption is made that dream analysis is a new age concept. Nothing could be further form the truth. Throughout the ages, people have valued dreams as a very important part of their lives.
For many ancient cultures, dreams were simply another dimension of life experience. In effect, dreams provided insight and the tools needed for this world. Dreams have also been responsible for ...

Lizard Dreaming of Birds19 reviews
John Gist
High Sierra Books, 2004
Fabulous Lizard Tales of the West
The second novel from John Gist is like his previous novel examining and existing in a dark universe of depravity, mythological destiny and a strong believe in a true sense of nature. Gist is combining the ancient heritage of evil with the modern myth of Man. The result is a both scarrying and beautiful portrait of Man as the universal Sinner, who has to perform a physical and mental journey in ...

Kit Pearson
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002
Awake and Dreaming
Awake and Dreaming is a book that helps us understand just how much we should be thankful for. It also helps us see that no matter how bad our situation, there is always someone in a worse predicament.
The story is about a girl named Theo. She and her mom live in Vancouver, Canada. It is safe to say that they are poor. Theo's life was very hard and she was going through a lot. So her mother ...

Peter Bowerman
Fanove Publishing, 2004
So good I had to stop reading...
Ok, before I explain the title of this review, let me make an embarrassing admission. I originally picked this book up at a library instead of purchasing it. I did this because I have wasted the rough equivallent of 2 wheelbarrels full of cash on copywriting courses that turned out to be complete and utter wastes of my time, money, and remaining hair waiting to be pulled out...

The Art of Dreaming: Creative Tools for Dream Work11 reviews
Jill Mellick
Gramercy, 2003
The Art of Dreaming: Tools for Creative Dreamwork
Psychologist and author Jill Mellick offers much more than a dream interpretation book in The Art of Dreaming: Tools for Creative Dreamwork. Conventional interpretation relies on words to describe dream imagery, and often the words are terribly inadequate. Dr. Mellick says "we can express dreams in the art form the best suits them, in the art form whose structure is most akin to their innate ...

Thomas McIntyre
Countrysport Press, 1995
Ed's review of Dreaming the Lion
Tom McIntyre is one of the last great storytellers. His gift with a pen places the reader right in the middle of all the action. The subject matter within the pages of this book is broad. It ranges from an account of a fantastic woodcock hunt in Ireland to the pursuit of the most dangerous African cape buffalo but never once will you loose interest. Be it his candid views of the cultures ...

Stunning Examples of Traditional Peruvian Weaving
Having traveled with Nilda to meet the weavers and observe the weaving process in most of the villages featured in the book , I can attest that the stunning color reproductions (kudos to the publisher for the choice of so many wonderful examples and for selecting a outstanding printer!) in the book accurately represent the superb work still being done under the direction of the Center for ...

R.E. Chambliss
BookSurge Publishing, 2009
Dreaming of Deliverance
Awesome and unique SF book, R.E Chambliss should be in the NY Times top 10 book list. This book takes place in women's in prison and the heroine Lindsay Paulson is transported at night to another world where cruel aliens are using the population as slaves. The prison scenes are realistic and hard core. Take this to the next level for the world she is transported to. She has to overcome her ...

Healing Night: The Science and Spirit of Sleeping, Dreaming, and Awakening8 reviews
Rubin R. Naiman
Syren Book Company, 2006
The Soul of Sleep
I heard an interview with the author of this book on the radio and immediately ordered it from Amazon. What caught my attention was his way of placing the problem of insomnia into a much wider context, even changing the way I thought about sleep in the short time of the interview. What intrigued me was that he compared the sleep/wake, day/night cycle to the classic Chinese Yin/Yang symbol, which ...

Wewer Keohane somehow manages to coalesce all of her education and experience with Dreamwork into this highly user-friendly volume. The straightforward delivery and the suggested exercises allow the reader to put the information to use immediately without getting bogged down with lengthy explanations or theories. A perfect
"starter" book for the beginner and useful "reminder" book for the ...

Dreamcrafting: The Art of Dreaming Big, the Science of Making It Happen11 reviews
Paul Levesque, Art McNeil
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2003
One of the best, if not THE best
I seldom write reviews, but in the case of 'Dreamcrafting' I'm compelled to make an exception. Over the past few years, I've read them all, the classics and the also rans. Without doubt this is a contender for first place in the success-self/help literature stakes. Why? Because the process is demystified, clarified and amplified with NO HYPE AND NO BULL!
At the heart of the book is an ...

Radical Dreaming: Use Your Dreams to Change Your Life8 reviews
John D. Goldhammer
Citadel, 2003
Radical Dreaming knocks the others right off the shelf...
Dr. John Goldhammer's "Radical Dreaming" is groundbreaking, brilliant, and ultimately freeing for folks like myself who wish to uncover their true essence. The author goes to battle with much more than a pen; rather, he (to borrow from one of his images) "pulls the sword from the stone" in his own life and images, leaving the reader with only inspiration and courage to fight for his or her ...

An Inspiring Read
I really enjoyed reading this book from the first page to the last. Not only did it capture my attention immediately,but I connected with the characters as though they were my friends. I couldn't put it down! I'm really tired of reading trivia. I don't feel justified in taking the time to read a book if I don't learn something. Charlotte Vale Allen set the stage in "Dreaming in Color" so we ...

A Treasure of a Book!
Dreaming of Home by Glynna Kaye
Ahoy, Mateys! Shiver me timbers...this book was an absolute joy to read. Glynna's debut book was fantastic from beginning to end. Several parts left a smile on my face and a couple times, a lump in my throat at how Glynna delicately handled issues. This book touched me deeply and the story resonated because I have a friend going through cancer. The little boy is ...
