An unprecedented, dreamwork-centered guide for exploring and understanding your dreams, presented by three Jungian analysts and the hosts of the podcast This Jungian Life With Dream Wise , three expert teachers bring you a resource like none before it―a comprehensive, step-by-step guide synthesizing Carl Jung’s renowned theories with the best approaches of those who have followed in his footsteps. Ideal for every level of experience, Dream Wise is for all who are ready to meet “the faithful other, the dream maker, who visits each night with gifts of wisdom.” The goal is to do dreamwork, not just learn about it… “Your dreams offer a wealth of wisdom and wonder,” explain the authors. “They are one of the best, most reliable ways to get to know our mysterious depths. But you must―quite literally―rise to meet them. Sustained dreamwork facilitates a dialogue between the surface and the depths and is an essential aid in our process of unfolding.” In Dream Wise , Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee transform the most useful dreamwork concepts and principles into a unique series of 69 “keys” to unlock the meaning of your dreams, illuminating: • How dreamwork assists us on the path of becoming whole (what Jung called individuation ) • The three levels of dream imagery: personal associations, factual explanations, and archetypal amplifications • The shadow―the unconscious, unwelcome aspects of yourself that you can meet and integrate with the help of your dreams • Animus/anima―the personification of our unrealized possibilities that urges us toward our highest destiny • The practice of active imagination, Jung’s signature technique for psychological healing and growth • How to interpret your dreams―including case examples from the authors’ professional practices, 16 daily strategies to boost dream recall, insights into the structure and dynamics of your dreams, and more “Working with dreams requires flexibility, fluidity, and fluency in the symbolic, but above all, it should be enlivening,” say the authors. Dream Wise gives you a trustworthy map for exploring the vast reaches of your dreams… an exciting new path to creativity and healing… and a faithful compass to your true becoming. “A great introduction to Jungian dreamwork! Not only will you learn Jungian dreamwork but also some key Jungian concepts. Practical and inspiring, it deepens your relationship with your dream life and, consequently, enriches your waking life! Highly recommended!” ― Machiel Klerk , psychotherapist, author of Dream Guidance , and founder of Jung Platform “If you’ve ever wondered what your dreams mean, then Dream Wise is the book for you.

And it’s fun to read and to work with the exercises that the authors provide.” ― Linda Leonard, PhD , author of The Wounded Woman and The Call to Create “If you want to do a huge favor to your inner dream maker, your rational ego, and your collective unconscious, read this book! Understand how ingeniously (and playfully) your psyche is working each night to help you move forward in your life journey and tune in to the numinous! An exhilarating and entertaining journey through a rich, edifying, and ultimately mysterious terrain.” ― Elif Batuman , novelist and author of The Idiot and Either/Or “Fabulous! It’s comprehensive in scope yet readable and accessible even for those new to Jung’s ideas. This book provides an invaluable service to the Jungian community and all those interested in dreams.” ― Patricia Berry, PhD , Jungian analyst and author of Echo’s Subtle Body “This is one of the best overall books I’ve ever read on the practice of dream interpretation. Not just an excellent primer on Jung’s psychology of dreaming, Dream Wise speaks to our contemporary yearning for a greater life purpose than merely satisfying the desires of the ego, a yearning to become healthy and whole and actualized in all our potentials. The path of your dreams leads in precisely this direction, and you could ask for no better guides than Lisa, Deborah, and Joseph, whose deep familiarity and respect for each other creates an alchemically playful dynamic in their ways of exploring the mythically charged realm of dreaming. Highly recommended!” ― Kelly Bulkeley, PhD , author of The Spirituality of Dreaming “Who knew a teacher as great as the dream maker lay waiting for us night after night? And all we have to do is listen and apply the right keys for the lessons to be unlocked. The symbolic and guiding significance of my dreams has always been sort of abstract and unattainable to me. I’d wake up and never really remember what happened throughout the night. And if I did remember, I had no idea what to make of it. But whilst reading this book, it was like a cracking open of a whole new aspect of myself, one that had just been lying t
