We spend a third of our lives sleeping. Yet our dreams, if remembered at all, have been relegated to nothing more than curious anecdotes. While Freud awakened modern interest in the dream, his theory of interpretation undermined the potential insights they had to offer. We now take little from our dream experiences, losing an important source of self-knowledge. Rodger Kamenetz, author of the national bestseller The Jew in the Lotus, takes us on an adventure into the history and meaning of dreams and the gifts they have to offer. With Kamenetz as guide, readers can explore this mysterious inner realm and learn about its potential to lead us on the path to the soul. Rodger Kamenetz wrote the landmark international bestseller The Jew in the Lotus and the National Jewish Book Award winner Stalking Eljah. He is a Louisiana State University Distinguished Professor of English and religious studies, and a certified dream therapist. He lives in New Orleans with his wife, fiction writer Moira Crone.

We must learn to think in images, the language of dreams. And if we overcome our obsession with interpreting dreams, we can access the truths they offer.”—Los Angeles Times
