Reviews

"""I am most intrigued by Bulkeley's notion of dreams as root metaphors. Such a notion fits in well with an existential-phenomenological approach to dream interpretation, and also lends itself to understanding dreams in the context of spirituality. I think this text matches the quality of Bulkeley's 1994 book (The Wilderness of Dreams), which I regard as a potential 'classic' in dream theory."" - Hendrika Vande Kemp, Fuller Theological Seminary ""This book, both a personal and scholastic journey, is well written, tightly argued, and evocative of the deeper regions of the human heart and mind. It covers a wide spectrum of disciplines, from the literary to the religious to the scholarly/historical, and has academic depth as well as an easy reading style. I very much respect Bulkeley's scope of knowledge and breadth of integration."" - Edward Bruce Bynum, author of Families and the Interpretation of Dreams"
