Waking Dreams by Allan Frater
If you are interested in cultivating a richer, story-filled, and enchanted existence, or you are a therapist wanting to help others do so, this might be the book you have been waiting for."Waking Dreams demonstrates how it is possible to explore a three-dimensional waking dream experience..using various entry-points such as memories, fantasies, places or free association... Frater's analogy of imagination to that of an ecosystem – a living web of different relations and energy – helps us to see the limitations of a psychotherapy practice that does not consider the entirety of human experience as worthy of exploration. Imagination is a tool that is underestimated in our need to search for a more tangible human experience... This book strives to recover an amazing skill that not only wanes in adulthood but has also become lost in practice."
-- Dr Claire Mitchell * New Psychotherapist Magazine *"A direct and inspiring immersion in the practice of working with the imagination, aimed particularly at therapists but also of interest to any practitioner. It effectively challenges the assumption that imagination is merely "inner", and offers balanced, subtle techniques for developing hypnagogic experience that are clearly grounded in years of reflection on imaginative practice."
—Robert M. Ellis, author of Red Book, Middle Way: How Jung Parallels the Buddha's Method for Human Integration
