Book Review: Conscious Dreaming by Robert Moss

This episode explores various facets of dream analysis and conscious dreaming, offering a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilising dreams. We talk about nine key methods for dream interpretation, ranging from trusting one's feelings and first associations to symbol exploration and dream enactment. The text then transitions to the benefits of sharing dreams with partners and groups, emphasising how different perspectives can enrich understanding and highlighting the importance of rituals in dream-sharing. Furthermore, we discuss conscious dreaming, defining it as being aware within a dream state and touching upon its applications, including out-of-body experiences and journeying into stable dream locales. Finally, we examine the healing and creative power of dreams, presenting numerous anecdotes and techniques for using dreams to address physical and emotional ailments, foster creativity, and even communicate with departed loved ones, while also cautioning against certain spiritual practices.
