Dreams, in the words of its author, is not an autobiography, but a "dreamography",
which "tells about the restoration of a human life through the workings of
a dream." In 1980, Kathleen Sullivan began a journey of transformation; a
journey which was catalyzed by a single powerful and disturbing dream which
refused to be returned, unexamined, toto the world of sleep. Launched into
a process of inner exploration by her need to unravel the dream's meaning,
she began to notice that a mysterious character was repeatedly appearing in
her dreams. This character was, on a literal level, a forgotten acquaintance
she had gone to high school with many years before. On a deeper level, however,
Victor Biento represented an important and undeveloped aspect of her psyche.
Over the next 16 years. as her relationship with this dream character evolved
and changed, so, too, did her relationship with herself. Her dreams became
not only a tool for personal growth and guidance, but a spiritual discipline
which began to permeate all areas of her life. Told in an anecdotal and chronological
fashion, and interspersed with theoretical information and excellent dream
working exercises, Recurring Dreams is a finely woven mix of insightful experience,
psychological theory and practical suggestions for dreamers to enrich their
relationship with themselves through their dreams. To find out more about
