Dreaming–The Sacred Art
Awaken to the wonders of your dreamself, and energize your spiritual potential for self-understanding and self-healing.
Without a doubt, people of all times and places have had the capacity to dream the sacred. I write this book in a sincere effort to create space for us to share these dreams and to provide a practical guide to nurturing sacred dreaming as an art.” ―from the Introduction
Sacred dreams―those in which the dreamer experiences the immediate presence of or communication with the Divine―have shaped the spiritual history of humankind. Jacob’s ladder dream, Joseph’s dream verifying Mary’s virgin pregnancy and Herod’s plans to destroy the child, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha’s auspicious dreams on his journey to enlightenment, Muhammad’s night journey dream―the pervasive power of the sacred dream is part of the scripture and lore of virtually all the world’s religions.
This fascinating introduction to sacred dreaming celebrates the dream experience as a way to deepen spiritual awareness and as a source of self-healing for people of all faith traditions―or none. Includes practical, step-by-step exercises in every chapter.

“Swick hits high stride with her suggestions for remembering dreams after waking and decoding significant dream symbols. The last section of the book probes the gift of bringing sacred dreams to life in creativity, personal introspection, and self-healing. Spirit is at work in sacred dreams and that is why dreamwork as a spiritual practice is so vast and exciting.”
