Dreams have always fascinated people. That said, I do not go out of my way to read too many books about dreams because they tend to be nothing more than glorified dream dictionaries, and dream dictionaries are of minimal helpfulness. That is why when I was sent a copy of \u201cDreaming Techniques: Working with Night Dreams, Daydreams, and Liminal Dreams\u201d by Serge Kahili King I just glanced at it and set it aside.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ One day while attempting to clean my work area (I operate with a pile-based system. It is inefficient AND messy.) I stumbled upon \u201cDream Techniques\u201d again. This time I took a moment to read the back cover and realized, this isn\u2019t just a throw away dream dictionary, and I started to read it. I am glad I did.<\/p>\n

Most books about dreams stress the importance of keeping a dream diary\/journal. Yet never have I encountered an author who has cataloged over 5,000 of his own dreams! King uses his vast collection of dream recollections and combines it with the science available on the subject to help us gain some understanding of our own dreams. \u201cDreaming Techniques\u201d breaks down dreams into 3 different categories: night dreams, liminal dreams, and daydreams. The fourth part of the book focuses on techniques to work with dreams.<\/p>\n

Not only is this a fascinating exploration of dreams, but with its focus on thought experiments and states of consciousness, \u201cDream Techniques\u201d can prove to be an invaluable resource for magic practitioners as well. \u201cDream Techniques\u201d by Serge Kahili King was an enriching book that I cannot recommend enough.<\/p>\n
