I enjoyed this audio book. Marion woodman is a Jungian analyst. This book is about her interpretation of dreams and what they can mean to the dreamer. Her voice is very soft, slow, kind, and soothing. She explains dreams through a Jungian and spiritual approach. The main point I took from the book-is to take time to listen to your dreams, daydreams, and thoughts to discover your whole self. What are you trying to tell yourself through the hypnagogic mornings? Her spiritual interpretation is really capturing as well. I listened with a grain of sceptic salt and an open heart, and I ended with appreciating her thoughtful analogies. I would recommend knowing a bit about Jungian psychology before listening otherwise it may come off too strong and strange. If you're interested in Carl Jung, Marions audio is much easier to understand than Carl's old recordings.

Really enjoyed the interview. So sad to find out later that Marion has passed away.

Let us honor the language of the soul, and in this book, we can find what could be our role to understand the messages that dreams can bring.
