Book synopsis

Being a really good writer involves looking deep into ourselves as well as others in order to understand human nature, our challenges, and what motivates us. Our dreams provide essential clues to our deeper selves. If we cultivate a dream/writing practice we become able to capture the energy coming in from a larger source than our own that enlightens our consciousness to what's going on in our psyche and the transpersonal. Using dreams to tap into the transpersonal helps us find messages that reach beyond our own experience and resonate in others' Iives infusing our writing with a larger sense of purpose. Nelson's "soulful dream writing practice" teaches readers how to "catch" their dreams and turn them into a treasure-trove for personal growth as well as an endless source of writing material. Beginning with information about the different kinds of dreams we have, she offers a unique perspective on how to correlate our chakra issues with our dreams. She also shows readers how to recognize personal, mythic, and transpersonal themes in dreams. Often a dream seems to end leaving us wondering what it was all about, so Nelson introduces the Jungian technique of "active imagination"--drawing the dream material out in meditative fantasy--to get more insight from it. Throughout the book, she provides exercises and helpful advice on the craft of writing, along with information on how other writers have used their dreams in their work.
