In
her new book, The Art of Dreaming, Jill Mellick continues the tradition
established in her earlier work, The Natural Artistry of Dreams, of
combining the perspectives of artist and healer to arrive at enlivening methods
for deriving personal meaning from one's dreams. As a practicing psychologist
and artist, Dr. Mellick is adept at bridging the intuitive and analytical;
the creative and the practical in her work.
The Art of Dreaming offers numerous methods for dreamwork, ranging from
quick, five-minute exercises aimed at capturing the essence of a dream or
symbol, to working with recurring dreams and nightmares, and within group
settings as well as individually. Mellick's suggestions involve all of our
means of expression and knowing: auditory, visual, sensory, and kinesthetic,
offering the reader opportunities to not only explore their dreams through
channels most familiar to them, but also to open themselves up to other ways
of experiencing and expressing the energy of the dream. This approach is unique
among most books involving dreamwork, and should offer even the most experienced
dreamer new pathways through their personal dream landscapes. For every dreamer,
beginner or experienced, The Art of Dreaming provides an extensive
collection of tools for deep.
