Overview
In Crisis Dreaming, Dr. Rosalind Cartwright and award-winning journalist Lynne Lamberg present new evidence that dreams are coherent symbolic reflection of the dreamer's mental state and show how by studying our dreams we can learn more about ourselves and our problems. But that's not all. In this book you'll find simple, effective strategies--based on Dr. Cartwright's more than 25 years of scientific research in the field of sleep disorders--for remembering your dreams and "rewriting" your dream scripts while you sleep. The insight you gain from your dreams can then be carried over into your waking life, to help resolve depression and anxiety brought on by such crises as divorce, bereavement, serious illness and job loss. Usual dream therapies rely on only the occasional remembered dream to reveal the inner word of the dreaming self. The effectiveness of Dr. Cartwright's ground-breaking RISC method for capturing and utilizing dreams lies in her recognition that the three, four even five dreams that are usual over the course of a single night read like chapter in a book--if you leave one out, you may miss the key to the whole story. Throughout this book you'll meet some of the individuals who, with Dr. Cartwright's help, were able to use their dreams to successfully effect change in their daily lives. These people were able to gain control over their dreams and their waking lives--so can you. Fascinating and highly illuminating, Crisis Dreaming is for all who want to know more about what goes on while they sleep.Book Details
