sixth book ,"The Dream Messenger (How Dreams of the Departed Bring Healing
Gifts)" continues her tradition of exploring how dreams can function as tools
for healing in our waking lives. The Dream Messenger focuses upon dreams of
the dead -- identifying several components of such dream encounters, and providing
techniques for integrating these dreams with bereavement and re-awakening
to life after the loss of a loved one. Based on a study of hundreds of dreams
of bereaved persons, as well as her own journals and the writings of other
contemporary authors, Garfield brings a rich sense of shared emotion and human
experience to the grieving process, and to the need to affirm our continuing
relationships with those who have died.
