SYNOPSIS: Every night we visit a fantastic realm where impossible things happen--and we receive one of life's most precious and most under-valued gifts: our dreams. Creative inspirations, keys to understanding our past and our problems, links to the shared consciousness of all humankind...dreams are nothing short of miraculous. As the author of this deeply moving and illuminating book explains, "All dreams come in the service of health and wholeness...and no dream ever comes to tell you what you already know." For over twenty years Jeremy Taylor has studied dreams from all points of view: psychological, biological, social, and spiritual. He has worked with thousands of people from all walks of life both individually and in dream groups. Now, in Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill, he shares his wisdom and his discoveries in a comprehensive book that reveals the universal symbolism of dreams, how to reap the rich harvest of our own nightly visitations, and how working together in dream groups can bring about healing, growth, and enlightenment. With Taylor, we witness the drama of actual case histories: we see one woman discover, through a disturbing dream, the deadly cancer that her doctors had missed, and watch another face the sexual abuse she had repressed for decades. We go into San Quentin to participate in a group that transformed a convict's life, and in a very different setting we see how the remarkable perceptions caught in a tiny fragment of a young seminarian's dream radically altered his fate. Jeremy Taylor shows us how to recognize the "aha" reaction that characterizes the moment when we begin to grasp what a dream truly is telling us. He explores the many levels of symbolism and presence of archetypes. And he provides specific, hands-on techniques to help us remember and interpret our dreams, establish and run a dream group, and much more. From dealing with recurrent nightmares to fighting subconscious racism to illuminating how dreams connect us to all living things and even the Divine, Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill is a life-changing and potentially world-changing work...an unforgettable journey in the knowable unknown. Jeremy Taylor is a Unitarian Universalist minster and co-founder of the Association for the Study of Dreams. The author of many books on the subject, he has taught dream work at the Star King School for the ministry and many other schools in the San Francisco Bay area. He regularly conducts dream-work groups for public and private organizations.
