Synopsis
The doors to the otherworld open from wherever you are
Dreams have been called the "royal road to the unconscious," but to dream expert Robert Moss, they are something more: portals to the imaginal realm, a higher reality that exists at the intersection of time and eternity. Sifting through several decades of research, Moss retells some of the remarkable dream narratives that he has gathered from his own journals and those of his students. With the flair of a natural storyteller, Moss takes readers on an excursion into the furthest reaches of the imaginal realm, a place where the improbable is commonplace. Readers will encounter here ancient gods, uncanny animals, doppelg ngers from parallel worlds, and spirits of the dead (both famous and obscure). Whether beautiful, terrifying, or whimsical, these stories remind us that dreams have much to teach us if we are willing to listen and watch.
Synopsis
Dreams have been called the "royal road to the unconscious," but to bestselling author and world-renowned dream explorer Robert Moss, they are more: portals to the imaginal realm, a higher reality that exists at the intersection of time and eternity. As a master storyteller, Moss takes you on journeys where you encounter goddesses and daimons, uncanny animals, doppelg ngers from parallel worlds, and spirits of the dead (both famous and obscure). These adventures -- by turns terrifying, beautiful, and wildly funny -- remind us that dreaming is not just about what happens in sleep but about awakening to deeper realities. This can happen in the midst of everyday life, in special moments of synchronicity when you know, in your shivers, that greater powers are in play.
The traveler's tales in this book are "just-so" stories in the sense that they spring from direct experience in the Many Worlds. As you journey from the temple of the Great Goddess at Ephesus to an amazing chance encounter on an airplane, from Dracula country in Transylvania to the astral realm of Luna, you'll confirm that the doors to the Otherworld open from wherever you are. You'll see what it means to live on a mythic edge and to make a deal with your personal Death for a life extension. At any moment, you may fall, like the author, into the lap of a goddess or the jaws of an archetype.
