Rating:  Summary: Step into Your Authentic Life! Review: Dr. Goldhammer's book taught me that dreams are remarkable guides. Their sole purpose is to give us the courage we need to live outrageously happy lives, better than we can even imagine! The book is the work of a genius and a pioneer.

Rating:  Summary: Radical Dreaming knocks the others right off the shelf... Review: Dr. John Goldhammer's "Radical Dreaming" is groundbreaking, brilliant, and ultimately freeing for folks like myself who wish to uncover their true essence. The author goes to battle with much more than a pen; rather, he (to borrow from one of his images) "pulls the sword from the stone" in his own life and images, leaving the reader with only inspiration and courage to fight for his or her authenticity. And I've read many dream books before this one, but this book by far knocks the others right off the shelf...BUY it, READ it, and LOVE it!

He is an explorer with a map - which is both personal and universal.

Rating:  Summary: Be WARNED..."New Age" by any other name... Review: I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS BOOK. I was so caught up by the first seven chapters that I couldn't put it down. But WHAT HAPPENED in chapter 8??? It's as if the author's material got "morphed" into a spirit-guided channelling session! Radical dreaming indeed, as chapter 8 begins with, "It's not uncommon to have several daimons or inner mentors who materialize as you work seriously with your dreams." Then he shares wisdom gleaned from his own personal "attendant spirit" guide whom he calls the "Elephant King." Proclaiming himself as a "do-it-yourself" Shaman he declares LOUDLY that he can "no longer trust someone else to tell me who or what I am. How can anyone assume such arrogance and power over another individual? When we access and explore ANIMAL IMAGES in our dreams, we can be SURE we are connecting with EXACTLY what is needed for our life right now." Wow--that statement simply left me shaking my head. Animal guides aside, my main criticism of the book is that Goldhammer's creedo seems to be the typical New Age mantra that all truth is relative...and if it FEELS RIGHT it IS right...for me that is. I am so disappointed. Nevertheless, other parts of the book are so valuable and practical, I didn't have the heart to give him 1 star.

Rating:  Summary: Learn how to look at your dreams to wake up! Review: I don't read self-help books and surely don't read anything by anyone on dreams, except for maybe Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz or Robert Johnson. 'Radical Dreaming' changed that for me. For those of you looking for step-by-step "answers" to your dreams, you will be disappointed here. For those of you wishing to open up to new worlds, this book could very well change your life. Radical in the sense that it dares to go beyond Jung's ideas and challenges what we have thought about dream work up until now. Radical also in how it will shake up your status quo existence. A must have for the nighttime dreamer.
