While this book is a little overly optimistic and new-agey for me, it has a lot to offer in the way of exploring a mind-body connection which, when you spend even a few minutes thinking about, seems so much like common sense as to seem ridiculous. While I'd always known that dreams were a signal of the subconscious, I never considered that the signal might be coming from the physical body (i.e. a sign of what the author terms "dis-ease"). Working in metaphorical ways, this book suggests that our dream-state can open doors to physical well-being, provided that we are open to the difficult work of confronting our habits of mind as well as body.

Most people will probably find themselves resistant to the teachings in this volume, particularly those of the western mindset. Take what you want. There is much useful information in this text.

Not what I thought, but she's a psychologist so I'll give it a chance. She talks about discovering your health problems through your dreams and intuition; but she takes it a step further with included work sheets and meditations. With this information you can learn which "intuitive-style" is your own. I'm only part way through this, and I've gained considerable insight into my own brain.

Although there were some odd sections and things that didn't mesh with me I really enjoyed some of the information in this book. For me the second half was better than the first.
