Be the Dreamer Not the Dream is a savvy, sophisticated, and comprehensive guide to expanding your dreaming skills. In it you’ll learn to apply the information from your dreams to your waking reality for greater inspiration, creativity, spiritual growth, healing—and for just plain FUN!

Learn to expand your 24-hour consciousness, work with a dream diary, effectively seed new dreams, and increase your dream recall ability. When you can understand the affect your subconscious and superconscious mind have on your dreams, you’ll be much clearer in interpreting your dreams—and finding gifts in even the scariest and most disturbing dreams.

Penney Peirce gives you a thorough and penetrating understanding of your “other worlds”—what she calls the “dream zones”—and shows you how to use the wisdom of these higher dimensions of yourself to live a fuller, more successful life. You’ll discover the interrelationship between night dreams and waking “dreams,” omens, and synchronicities.

Be the Dreamer Not the Dream will show you many interesting techniques for using dreams to enhance creativity, improve your relationships, find your life purpose and stay on purpose, make clear decisions, heal yourself emotionally and physically, and growth spiritually. In addition, you’ll learn to work with kids and their dreams, and to start a dream support group.

    This book is for anyone wondering
    “What am I really doing during sleep?” and
    “Can I harness my dreams to create a better life?”

    Dream Dictionary for Dummies

    Penney wrote this dream dictionary to modernize many dream meanings to align with current trends in higher consciousness. At the same time, the symbol meanings contain great common sense. This fun and fascinating guide shows you not only how to interpret your dreams, but how to remember them, and even how to make a dream work for you.

    This book is unique as dream dictionaries go:each definition is written so you can interpret the dream symbol at the physical, emotional, and mental-spiritual level. By examining the fullness of each symbol you can reach a deeper understanding of what your inner self is saying to you. Reading about each symbol becomes a wonderful intuitive process in itself!

    The book contains seven chapters, in addition to an A-to-Z list of dream symbols and their meanings. You’ll learn to recognize your dream cycles, remember dreams more easily, create and use a dream diary, interpret your waking dreams, and focus your dreams to solve problems and make decisions.

    The book’s handy 5×7 format makes it perfect
    for your bedside or to take along when you travel!
