Dream Gates by Robert Moss (2006)
, 5 Oct 2014
I've listened to Dream Gates in Audible format as the book is not available in Kindle format and I rarely buy hard copy books or CD books.
The book is very much Moss' Conscious Dreaming book regarding the information he provides about dream recording, dream interpretation, dream re-entry, dream anecdotes and stories, and even the quotes he mentions. Dreams about the future, healing dreams, shamanistic dreams, dreams about the deceased and spiritual entities, counseling dreams. Anything and everything about the world of dreams is in this book. There are plenty of real dreams examples mentioned as an example, all of them interesting and surprising, and they come from Moss' own oneiric world and from his circle of friends and workshops participants. Also part of his dreamwork approach is the world of synchronicity and active imagination, and they are also considered in the book.
The advantage of this book with regards to Conscious Dreaming, to me, is that here Moss devotes time to guide practical exercises, the ones with drumming including, so you will be able to put into practice his advice, even if you are alone at home and you don't have a drum. Moss will be your master of ceremonies.
Robert Moss is a great narrator. Unlike other audio books, Dream Gates is not only informative, it is also entertaining. Moss knows how to read, how to speak to the public, how to give his voice the correct inflection so we listen to something that sounds natural, engaging, lively, energetic, but well structured in content. You won't get bored or sleepy. It feels like having the author giving a speech in your house more than a read book.
I miss in the Audible book that the Chapters are not titled, just numbered. It would have been
extremely handy have them titled!
The price of the Audible book is great. Great value for money and good quality sound. The book was published long ago, but it is terrific for dreamwork and so very modern despite the pass of time.
