Life as a Waking Dream (Paperback)

What stories do you find yourself telling again and again? Which experiences remain most vivid in your memory? What situations evoke the most powerful sensations and emotions in you? How can you live with greater freedom, purpose? creativity, and power? This books helps readers to explore these questions by examining their most vivid life experiences as if they were dreams. Through the stories of waking dream grouop participants, the author presents a method for deciphering the hidden messages of real life events. If we are in some sense "dreaming" while we are awake, then what we experience says far more about us than it does about the world around us. We can discover the power of our own consciousness by giving up the illusion that our lives are happening to us. We can learn instead to change our lives by changing ourselves.
