Summary:
Dreams have always been important to humanity, but in modern times we have lost the ability to understand what our dreams are telling us. In The Dreamer’s Odyssey, the author provides a step-by-step guide to help the individual interpret and work through their own dreams. It can also be used by counsellors and other professionals to give them an understanding of the basis of Jung’s dream analysis. The 10 week guide has been adapted from the courses that the author, Jacquie Flecknoe-Brown, has run successfully for many years. Closely linked to the theory of C. G. Jung, each chapter includes an interpreted dream relevant to the weekly content. It also includes analysis of dream-theory, and interpretation of mythical material to illustrate theoretical points. Working with dreams and their images helps us to be more conscious of ourselves, our shadows, our opposites, and our purpose. Dreams can ease our burdens, help us problem-solve, improve our memories, and enlighten us. The dream is a natural, and living phenomenon – working to understand our dreams will have an effect on many aspects of our lives.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Literally PR, Ortus Press and Jacquie Flecknoe-Brown for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
The blurb of this book interested me, as someone who rarely remembers my dreams the ones I do always feel important and so it seemed like an interesting thing to read about, especially as I really don't know much at all about C.G Jungs dream analysis.
Now the cover is gorgeous and I really love it, it gives a dreamlike quality to the presentation of the book. And it's a really well-written book, the author writes in a way that makes everything clear to understand and to be able to apply to your dreams. I like that we have some of her patient's dreams included and how they might be interpreted, which gives you a practical way to understand what she's teaching you. What's more, I think the counsellor section at the end of each week's chapter is a really clever addition, it gives additional information that anyone can read to get a better/clearer understanding of what that week's teaching was about. The fact that it's broken down into ten weeks I think makes it a far less overwhelming book than if you were expected to take it all in at once.
Despite all of these good things the book really wasn't for me, I think I just didn't get on well with Jung's dream analysis theory, but I am glad I read it because know I know about it.
