The Book “Always Dreaming” Is Reviewed on the Spiritual Dialogues Website

A review of the book, “Always Dreaming,” by dream analyst David Rivinus, has been posted on the Spiritual Dialogues website. “Always Dreaming” is a comprehensive study of dream interpretation philosophy and techniques. It goes so far as to suggest the possibility that the unusual or startling events of our waking lives are also dreams and can be interpreted in the same manner. 

The Spiritual Dialogues website is devoted to discussions about a broad range of metaphysical issues. The authors believe that one key to a greater understanding of the mystical aspects of life is a sharing of ideas. The site describes its mission as follows: “Something extraordinary takes place when discovering new insights into life through deep discussions with friends. Time seems to stand still as new perspectives suddenly open up before us. In such moments we sense the scope of truth so fully, as a whole, that it alters our experience, giving us the feeling we are touching life, itself.” 

The largely-positive review of “Always Dreaming” is the most in-depth analysis of the book’s content and philosophy to date. The review’s author, Doug Marman, clearly grasps the book’s purpose and message, and makes a conscientious effort to examine the validity of the arguments and approach.  

Here is an excerpt: "...the importance of David's work is that he shows us a way to move dreaming from an unconscious process to a conscious one. When the messages behind the personal events in our lives sink home, we can consciously take the reins of the seemingly wild subconscious forces within us. If we act on this new understanding, it changes us. We are then no longer the character in some drama. We become the author of the play."
