Active Dreaming: Journeying Beyond Self-Limitation to a Life of Wild Freedom by Robert Moss
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The our minds are very complex places, and there’s many ways to approach understanding yourself, and gaining a better balance. This book may work for some people. Moss approaches things through a varied and complex list of techniques, other worldliness, demons, angels, animals, you name it, he’s got it in there. And all through the tapestry of dreaming. I think he’s an interesting man. I’ve heard him speak through a pod-cast and I must say that he’s very convincing. It’s kind of amazing that he too went to so many different dreaming groups, helped so many people out in so many places. In a way, he is respectful, and yet personal. He wants to show you the way to yourself. He wants to complete your inner child and you — to show you the universe is your play ground, and that the further deeper you dive into yourself, the more world you will find, to better yourself and others in increased understanding.
At least, that’s what he says.
He has many techniques on how to help yourself and others in dreaming. Many times, it’s remarkable how personal people get with their dreams. We think of dreams as being solitary activities. But Moss wants us to share them with others, and even dream with them. In a way, the conversations people have in here, is like talking through a cloud. Everyone sees something different and everyone has something to contribute. With love and care, Moss writes that we should all dream together, to heal you and heal them. The vision Moss creates of the world is that we should share our experiences and learn and assure each other that through all the trials in the world, in the end, we are all ok.
