Overview

Dreams Across the World: How Cultures Sleep and SeeBy Reverend Rachel Love, Ph.D. Every night, as consciousness softens and the world grows quiet, a vast landscape of dreams unfolds - rich with symbols, stories, and ancestral echoes. In Dreams Across the World, Reverend Rachel Love, Ph.D., guides readers through a global exploration of this mysterious terrain, weaving together anthropology, psychology, mythology, and modern neuroscience. From ancient Egyptian dream temples to Indigenous traditions where sleep is sacred and vision is communal, this book honors the many ways cultures have listened to the wisdom of the night. It journeys through the revolutionary insights of Freud and Jung, explores the biological rhythms of REM sleep, and considers evolutionary theories that frame dreams as survival rehearsals. By blending scholarship with storytelling, Dreams Across the World offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of why we dream, what our dreams might mean, and how they continue to inspire creativity, healing, and self-discovery. Though interpretations vary across cultures, the impulse to seek meaning in the dream state is timeless - a universal thread binding us across the vast tapestry of human experience.
