Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential: Amazon.ca: Layne Dalfen: Books

Product Description

Dalfen creates a powerful new approach to dream work that combines insights from Freud, Adler, Jung, and Gestalt psychology. Her unique method reveals the four levels of dreaming that must be accessed to fully interpret and benefit from each dream: - Looking into the Mirror: Discovering the problem or issue the dream is addressing - Using the Whole Mind: Learning how a dream can show up hidden blocks to progress - Discovering Patterns: Recognising how patterns in dreams reflect patterns in one's waking life - Tapping into Spiritual Resources: Identifying symbols and working with them to achieve objectives

4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden messages, July 2 2003

This review is from: Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential (Paperback)

While I think that traditional dream interpretation may be an over-analysis of random brain impulses, certainly certain poignant events during the day can trigger dreams that deliver secret messages to us.

After reading Layne Dalfen's book, I had a nightmare. I was able to discern a warning in the dream, a warning about an issue that was bothering me and that I hadn't dealt with.

Perhaps dreams are sometimes messages and sometimes random, but a really memorable dream is worth examining. If there is a hidden message there, "Dreams Do Come True" can help you find what you might be telling yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and Informative, April 18 2003

This review is from: Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential (Paperback)

I have just finished reading Dreams Do Come True, which I found very intriguing and informative. It gives the readers practical tools to begin the journey of interpreting and understanding the meaning of their dreams. I enjoyed Layne Dalfen's conversational and friendly manner to write about her life experience with dream interpretation. Her book opens a door for the readers to walk out into the field and see the landscape of their own personal human experience, and is an invitation to explore it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, Mar 2 2003

By

Danny Missios (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential (Paperback)

Although there is some indication the author once read a chapter of Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, you can do better things with your time and money. This book quotes TV characters and sources thrice removed instead of research and primary sources. Although the author's style is sporadically entertaining, it is full of hubris and the tone is the same as in advertisements for psychic toll lines. The result is childish fluff. You can absorb everything this book has to say by reading the chapter headings in the checkout lineup at the supermarket.

Far better books use reliable research and good scholarship to provide insights and intelligent discourse on the subject. Try Creative Dreaming (published in 1974, this has gone through several editions and is still one of the best on the subject) by Patricia Garfield PhD, or Garfield's more recent The Universal Dream Key. Other valuable resources include Lucid Dreams in 30 Days: The Creative Sleep Program, by Pamela Weintraub and Keith Harary, PhD, and Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (now in its third edition, at least) by Stephen LaBerge, PhD.
