Renowned Jungian analyst Robert Bosnak has also found that different characters in dreams have distinct inner lives and emotional attitudes that can be entered. But to learn and experience the deepfelt impact of these separate perspectives we must abandon preconceived interpretations of our dream imagery, and instead become investigators of our dream territorythe landscapes of our soul.Whyand in what waysdo dreams have the power to heal or transform us? Tracks in the Wilderness of Dreaming relates Bosnaks journey to the Australian outback to probe the nature of dreaming with an Aboriginal spirit doctor. From their conversations and through many absorbing case studies, we learn practical tools and processes to explore the depth of our inner lives, often with profound and startling results. For example, a pregnant woman becomes aware of a hitherto unconscious pain in her body by enteringdeeplyand with many resisitancesinto a dream of a balloon torn to shreds, thus gaining a valuable insight into her emotional and medical condition. A man dreaming of the Addams family participates in a macabre dream experiment with poison and can finally weep about his lovers imminent death from AIDS.In the tradition of C. G. Jung, James Hillman, and Joseph Campbell, Bosnak meditates on the metaphoric, therapeutic, and philosophical implications of dreamwork. This thoughtful and inspiring guide draws on Bosnaks experience as a therapist a traveler, and a dreamer, and is an invitation to look more closely at the meaning of this fundamental and common aspect of human existence  and to contemplate the astonishing creative capacities of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delacorte Press","offers":[{"title":"Bosnak, Robert \/ hardcover","offer_id":47834898661621,"sku":"SONG0385315260","price":20.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71YELBhe19L.jpg?v=1773669918","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/tracks-in-the-wilderness-of-dreaming","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
