Bestselling author Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to the worlds that exist within their dreams.

In this book, you will learn the art of Dream Seeding, where you ask your dreams questions and receive answers in return. But it delves deeper than that. Oneirognosis explores concepts of where dreams come from, and what the mechanics of dreaming are. How do dreams work? How are these experiences created? This book is a poetic and lyrical exploration of the mystery of dreaming, and its essentially spiritual nature. Oneirognosis is not your usual book about dreaming because the author is primarily a visual artist, seeing and understanding the world through the lens of symbols and icons. Dreams use the language of symbols to teach our conscious minds through the use of story and parable. The more you understand symbols and their uses, the better you can understand your dreams. This book is a meditation on the origins of dreams, the wellspring of creativity, and the interconnection between the mind, body, and soul. It will inspire you to see your dreams from an entirely new perspective. To find out more about this book, please go to the publisher's website: www.AntarcticaArts.com.

Imagine being able to fly. Walk through walls. Shape-shift. Breathe underwater. Conjure loved ones—or total strangers—out of thin air. Imagine experiencing your nighttime dreams with the same awareness you possess right now—fully functioning memory, imagination, and self-awareness. Imagine being able to use this power to be more creative, solve problems, and discover a deep sense of well-being. This is lucid dreaming—the ability to know you are dreaming while you are in a dream, and then consciously explore and change the elements of the dream. A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming, with its evocative retro illustrations, shows exactly how to do it. Written by three avid, experienced lucid dreamers, this manual for the dream world takes the reader from step one—learning how to reconnect with his or her dreams— through the myriad possibilities of what can happen once the dreamer is lucid and an accomplished oneironaut (a word that comes from the Greek oneira, meaning dreams, and nautis, meaning sailor). Readers will learn about the powerful REM sleep stage—a window into lucid dreams. Improve dream recall by keeping a journal. The importance of reality checks, such as “The Finger”—during the day, try to pass your finger through your palm; then, when you actually do it successfully, you’ll know that you’re dreaming. And once you become lucid, how to make the most of it. Every time you dream, you are washing up on the shores of your own inner landscape. Learn to explore a strange and thrilling world with A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming.

What do you dream about? What have you achieved? Are you still dreaming? Former NFL player, Dennis Haley, takes his readers on a laborious journey about the art of dreaming. The trials and tribulations that he endured on his journey to becoming a professional football player were enough to quit, but his spirit of resiliency would not let him stop dreaming when things seemed impossible. Dennis introduces and illustrates as a playbook would, the five pillars to achieving your dreams, that he created about dreaming and achieving a dream. Dreaming never stops even in the face of adversity.

Encourages readers to integrate dreaming and creativity by playing with their dreams across a range of media, including painting, ceramics, dancing, mask making, and poetry.

The first-ever history of the representation of dreams in Western painting, illustrated with works by more than 130 artists Organized by period, from the Middle Ages to the present, this engaging book shows how the idea of the dream, and its depictions, have shifted throughout history, from the biblical dream—a communication from God—to the deeply personal dream, the lighthearted fantasy, the nightmare. Sometimes these ideas have existed simultaneously: thus we have, only a few years apart, Raphael’s limpid High Renaissance composition of Jacob dreaming his Ladder; Albrecht Dürer’s watercolor of a mysterious deluge that he saw in his own slumbers; and Hieronymus Bosch’s nightmarish hellscapes. More recently, movements such as Symbolism and Surrealism have taken the dream as a primary source of inspiration, even conflating dreaming and the creative process itself. This rich vein of visionary art runs from Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon, through De Chirico and Dalí, down to the present—demonstrating, as Bergez reminds us, that Morpheus was a god of form as well as of dreams.
