Book review 2016
Call Of the Cats, What I Learned about Life and Love from a Feral Colony by Andrew Bloomfield. Cats have an uncanny bond with humans. Just as I was offered this for a book review by the publisher, a friend of mine shared a presentation about how her cats had influence her dreaming.
A Day in the Life of the Brain by Susan Greenfield. Susan Greenfield describes a day of a normal guy and paints a picture of what happens in his brain.
Easy to read, with fascinating chapters on dreaming, and on consciousness in animals.
Sleep Monsters and Superheroes edited by Jean Campbell and Clare Johnson, who both contributed chapters to this book.
Children and dreams… With this book every parent, every teacher, niece, nephew, uncle or aunt has a chance to introduce their children to the magic of dreaming.
When I gave dream workshops for pregnant ladies in the beginning of this century, I was visited by so many parents and grandparents asking me how to handle the nightmares of their children. I prepared for the workshop by reading the information that was available on the website of Patricia Garfield. Patricia Garfield also contributed to this book. A wealth of information, you can add to your mother-toolkit.
Mythology of the Soul by H.G. Baynes.
A book that combines two things I love: mythology and art. Over 900 pages of information about dreams and Jungian psychology by one of the best Jungian analysts in England.
If you like dreams, art and Jungian psychology, this is the book for you.
The Power of Ritual by Robbie Davis-Floyd and Charles Laughlin.
Human beings are sensitive to rituals. This book is written in a way that makes you understand the psychological, spiritual and psychical side of ritual.
Translating Myth edited by
I really loved all the wisdom and stories packed in this book. It has become the theoretical backbone of my Mindfunda Movies course.
The Goddess and the Shaman
The doors to the realm of the Elphame open through dreams. If you like shamanism as proposed by Micheal Warner, this is the book for you.
It is not a work book however. If you are looking for ways to connect with the inner Goddess you might want to consider the online Mindfunda Mythology Course .
Big Dreams by Kelley Bulkeley.
This book is a plea to look at special dreams and research their characteristics. Lucid dreams, visitation dreams, mutual dreams.
What is Relativity by Jeffrey Bennet.
In the past I had so many time-travel dreams that I had this inner craving to understand more about its possibilities.
Strange Gods by Susan Jacoby. A book not only about the cruel middle ages. It is still happening, conversions. Religion is intertwined with power and privilege.
Using James Joyce his oeuvre as a guide to the mythological aspects of your challenges.
