Reviews
"The full spectrum of contemporary dream research is on display, spread through an expansive space that allows the reader to wander fruitfully, learning something new in every paragraph."-DreamTime Magazine
"Providing a wealth of dream stories about the life transitions of being born and passing away, Dr. Mascaro encourages a fresh and open-minded look at extraordinary dreams and their implications."-Robert Waggoner, author of Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self
"If you think that you know everything there is to know about dreams, think again. Dr. Kimberly Mascaro has written a delightful, informative, and provocative account of 'announcing dreams.' Dreams that herald major life transitions appear in the folklore of all cultures, and still play a role in our lives by connecting us with our bodies, our culture, and our lives, monitoring them all and preparing us for the best news and sometimes the worst news. There is enough scientific data in this book to satisfy the critical reader, but Dr. Mascaro's book also contains humor, history, and fascinating examples. From an evolutionary perspective, dreams were adaptive, helping early humans (and sometimes other animals) to consolidate learned behavior, process emotional experiences, solve baffling problems, and plan for the future. 'Announcing dreams' is a theme that runs through all of these functions, and their crucial role is finally recognized and explored in this outstanding book."-Stanley Krippner, PhD, California Institute of Integral Studies.
