 Utter and total nonsense. July 3, 2010

This book is worse than the glut of "dreams" books on the market, because the author tries to marry Christianity with pagan dreams "analysis." Even though the Bible clearly states that the human heart is sinful,Taylor still recommends that we tap into our corrupt natures for dreams "wisdom". Would you offer water from a polluted well to someone dying of thirst? The pure and "living" water God has provided in His son Jesus Christ is the only thing that relieves spiritual thirst. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, folks. If you were supposed to keep dream journals Jesus would have done it. Although God can speak in a dream, most dreams are arbitrary and the rules to interpret them change. Trying to use dreams for "wisdom" is like a batter trying to hit a knuckleball: occasionally you'll make contact but mostly you'll strike out and look stupid trying.

This book covers much of what Jeremy has talked about before but still it seems fresh and up to date and always so informative. Jeremy's mind is sharp and he retains and assimilates material from such varied sources that one cannot fail to learn new pearls of wisdom and insight.
 Excellent resource March 24, 2010

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring their dreams, particularly through a dream group. Taylor's life-long experience of working with dreams all over the world makes him a wise and trustworthy guide to this fascinating subject. His approach and advise about how a group can best function are very appealing, and the dreams he offers as examples throughout the book are convincing proof that our dreams come as gifts from the unconscious in service of our overall health and evolving consciousness.
Great update to a wonderful book February 21, 2010

Like many people, I was drawn to group dreamwork through reading Jeremy's original book, "Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill." 17 years later, my dream group is still meeting almost every week, and 4 of us are original members of the group we started back then. I have recommended this book to many, many people over the years, and it was with great pleasure that I picked up "The Wisdom of Your Dreams" recently and re-read the material that got me curious about dreams in the first place.
Jeremy's book still stands, and his insights are as fresh and valid today in this revised edition than they were when the book first came out. I particularly loved the last section, "Dreams and the Evolution of Human Consciousness," new material that has given me much to think about in terms of the role that dreams play not just for individuals but for cultural growth and change. I highly recommend this book, and will continue to do so for years to come!

The Wisdom of Your Dreams is far more than just another dream book: it is a unique and exciting journey into our unconscious, where symbols, soul urges, and the creative muse romp, untethered by earthly anchors. Understanding the language of your unconscious and its dream messages can transform your life deeply and profoundly. If you're looking for cookie-cutter interpretations of dream images and a quick dream-meaning fix, this is NOT the book for you.
Author Jeremy Taylor is an erudite and eloquent dream master who draws from four decades of teaching and facilitating thousands of people to work with their dreams individually as well as in dream groups. His classic guidelines for working with dream imagery and sharing dreams in group dreamwork are unparalleled in their non-dogmatic approach and scope of application. A new introduction and chapter in this updated version of "Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill" elaborates on how the evolution of consciousness, something that is highly relevant in this modern era, is yet another layer of meaning that we can glean from working with our dreams. And, as is one of Jeremy Taylor's trademark signatures, we are reminded that even (or especially) in an evolutionary context, and regardless of the content, "dreams always come in the service of health and wholeness."
With Taylor as our guide, in The Wisdom of Your Dreams we find ourselves popping down rabbit holes of psyche and psychology, culture and mythology, symbols and spirit, creativity and potential. He brings to this field astounding and original theories about the universal and personal meanings of dreams and dreamwork and offers many real life stories and dream examples, which convey the astuteness of his perceptions. A veteran teacher and dream group leader, Taylor's understanding of how archetypes, mythology, psyche, and culture weave together a vibrant dreamscape that is indeed the "workshop of conscious evolution" is nothing less than brilliant.
