It's not just about dreams, but about life's daily waking dreaming, the mysteries that permeate our days, the images that swarm abound us.

Still, the prevailing notion is that if dreams do mean anything, they must be \"interpreted,\" put into our present ways of understanding, taken out of their own way of presenting themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRenée Coleman, explodes and breaks through the very notion of \"interpretation\" which has become an actual block, a barrier to dreaming having immediate significance in life. Dreaming, she convincingly shows through intense and dramatic demonstrations with her dream groups, presents, presences, the action of imaginally real companions. Dreams are real! They are not separate from life but rather ever-present promptings to enter further and further into the fullness of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow Dr. Coleman lets the characters, actions, circumstances, and the very worlds of dreaming reveal themselves constitutes the essence of this writing. There is no theory here. We are taken into a new kind of attentiveness, available to everyone. We learn a deep listening, being penetrated, coming into immediacy, intimacy, complexity with each and every character of a dream and what those characters are doing with us. We come to experience the dream presences as quite autonomous from us, visitors, not from \"elsewhere,\" but ever-present visitors asking to be noticed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe great secret revealed in \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIcons of a Dreaming Heart\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is that by saying \"yes\" to the beckoning of dream presences in our noticing, caring, and attending, we are changed to the very core of our being. We begin to have incredible, increasingly extended moments of realizing how unbelievable and persistently rich life can be.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45653560230085,"sku":"9780983226192","price":33.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/TF6i64IEjq9780983226192.webp?v=1781432067","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/icons-of-a-dreaming-heart-the-art-and-practice-of-dream-centered-living-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
