Overview
First published twenty years ago, this revised edition of John Sanford's classic exploration of the psychological and spiritual significance of dreams draws on the work of C.G. Jung to show how dreams can help us find healing and wholeness and reconnect us to a living spiritual world.
Featuring a new preface by the author and using case histories from his own experience as a counselor, Dreams traces the role of dreams in the Bible, analyzing their nature and examining how Christians, through fear and the constraints of dogma, have come to reject the visions through which God speaks to humanity, making dreams — in Sanford's words — "God's forgotten language."
"Clear, helpful, original...illustrates the healing relevance of dream material...The most valuable contribution is Mr. Sanford's treatment of dreams and visions in the Bible."--Library Journal
