Every morning we are offered a choice to awaken from our dreams or awaken to our dreams.

We think of sleeping as a dormant state. Yet it is while sleeping that a deep source of awareness is available -- our dreams. Within each dream is a gift, a masterpiece of the soul, revealing a path to our true selves.

Awakening to unseen depths -- the source of all knowing -- awaits you through your dreams, which speak the language of your soul. Included in this map for a lifetime of awakening to your dreams are:

• Seven essential keys to unlocking the wisdom of dreams
• The path of the conscious dreamer
• Imaginal journeys to deepen your dream experience
• The myth of the Seven Sleepers as a template for the dreaming process
• Spiritual and creative practices to illuminate the path to personal growth and higher consciousness.

Reviews

“What a beautiful book this is.  Raechel Lea Bratnick’s work with dreams as a spiritual path is profound, courageous, and reads like a poem from the heart.  I learned from it, admired it, and was inspired by it.  Whether we are counselors or seekers, this book opens doorways for us all.”

“Awakening the Dreamer clearly describes the spiritual path of the conscious dreamer.  This easy-to-follow text will take you into and through your personal dream to a deeper self understanding, expand your world to weave your dreams into your wakening life, and open your creativity in ways you may not now be able to imagine.  I highly recommend it.  It is the best text on dream work I have seen.” 

—Barbara Brennan, author of Hands of Light

“An engrossing, creative, especially user-friendly guide for those with a passion for working with their dreams to inform their lives.  A wonderful mentor for those on a conscious, creative path, the author weaves her own fascinating story through the very practical steps and practices she offers her fellow dreamers.”
