When we sleep, the ancient sages believed, we return to the fathomless waters of the sea of life - and there we dream. In this collection of charms and spells, inspired by the journals of a Victorian wisewoman, we discover how these nightly voyages can lead to enlightenment and renewal.Author Claire Nahmad has drawn these spells from the private journals of her great grandmother, who lived in Yorkshire a hundred years ago. Through these writings we learn how to listen to our dreams and how to respond to them consciously and creatively, thus giving ear to the life of the soul.Within, you'll learn how to prepare for sleep so as to induce dreams, and how to use dreams to heal, to reach lost souls and to divine the future. You'll also learn about magical tools for banishing nightmares, and the recurring symbols that are clues to the meandering of dreams - from the mermaid and the dwarf to the black pool and the stairway. Finally, you'll learn to invoke the protection of a spirit-guide in your dreams.Dream Spells revives a tradition of ancient wisdom, and awakens us to the insights and self-knowledge that await us in our dreams.
