Dreaming Metaphysical by Marc Bregman & Susan Marie Scavo (2011)
, 6 Oct 2014
Dreaming Metaphysical is a book for you if you are a serious dream worker, especially if you are into archetypal dreamwork because Bregman is the founder of this field. If you are not interested in dream work but in Metaphysics, the book will give you food for thought as well because it departs from philosophical principles that might be new to you.
This is a terrific book, one of the most intriguing, profound and challenging I have read in the last year. The book helps you in the quest to find your soul and self not by looking at the sky, so to speak, but by looking inside, into yourself through your dreams.
The book is very spiritual, with constant references to God. Still, it is up to you and your belief system to decide what this God is, because the book does not impose a version of God or spirituality on to you.
Mind, this is not a book about dream interpretation, but about dream and dream work as a portal, as a vehicle towards your psyche and soul. One of the main takes for me is the way Bregman reflects about the creative and transformation power of emotional pain (not in a masochist way, of course!), and a way to profit from the facing of the same.
The book is deep, but it is structured in very short chapters that can be read any time. I found that I had to rest after one or two chapters and "munch" about them.
The Jungian derived terminology (it is not strictly Jungian although sometimes identical) permeates the whole book, and it is really important to get "it". There is a glossary at the back of the book that you need to check before starting the reading if you don't want to get lost before even starting.
