Light Reading that Makes You Think
This is a wonderful book to get you thinking about a different way to think about life and learning. The short stories make the book easy to read. It's filled with LOTS of humor. The book points out so many ways that we are given signs of direction that we may not notice. Great website by the Joan M Wolfe, too.
I'm looking forward to the next book and reading about dreams other people have had from which they were able to learn.

Try This One at Home, While You Are Sleeping...
I was one of those who used to think dreams were overrated. Maybe because I didn't have that many I could remember. This is an important, cutting-edge work about the impact and significance of dreams. Ms. Wolfe presents a compelling study of the nature of dreams and how they can influence and even predict our present lives and reveal our past as well. This is a terrific, clear-headed, well-written and truly inspirational guide to your dreams. Even if you don't remember your dreams as a rule, be prepared to begin to remember them now. As you read this book, your dream life will surely appear and you will access more information than you possibly imagined. I enjoyed this book immensely but most of all I started remembering my dreams and am able to put into use the information I received from them. For example, one dream I do remember recently is that I died in a plane crash - a large jet that crashed into the ocean. I was sitting in the middle seat and I just didn't have the strength to get out of my seat belt. I was injured but I felt no pain. My part of the plane quickly sank into the ocean. I could feel myself surrender and let go and then die. But after I died, I felt light, wonderful and totally free. I woke up feeling very alive and very relieved it was just a dream. I flew shortly after having this dream and, needless to say, I did not occupy a middle seat. I found that I'm not alone in this kind of dream and this kind of feeling after "dying" in a dream. Every dream is an opportunity for growth and gives us valuable insight that is often unavailable to us when we are awake. The author combines dream work with the highest spiritual principles - the very nature of our souls, our life purpose, and our humanity. She tells a story from her life: She had become estranged from a longtime close personal friend (Dawn) and just couldn't seem to "make it right." "The tension that had existed between Dawn and I had been too sensitive to work out within the limitations of human emotion and earthly speech. But in the dream environment, it had been much easier to see and accept each other as we really are...divine beings." When she met her friend later - on the earthly plane - all tension was gone between them and only closeness remained. The author says, "Dreams are one of the easiest access doors we have to entering and traveling the spiritual planes." How true. Sometimes it's just plain IMPORTANT to heed your dreams and what they are trying to tell you - and to discover their healing power as well. You can even "complete" an incomplete relationship in a dream with a departed one and have very real experiences and conversations with the deceased one that you were unable or unwilling to have while they were alive. Ms. Wolfe demonstrates that all of your dreams - your night dreams and your daydreams are "sometimes nudging us, sometimes kicking us - toward our highest and greatest good." By the way, THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF finds that the dreamer alone is the best interpreter of the dream - not good news for Freud. Oh, well. This is a powerful and life-affirming book. Five stars!

An amazing perspective on Life. A must read for Everyone.
Joan's book, The Stuff Dreams are Made of, really opened my eyes, mind and soul to another way of thinking. This book gives the reader the mental and emotional nourishment to not only better handle everyday life but to change their lives to better serve themselves in everyway. Joan shares some incredible concepts and points of view. Her dreams are fascinating and pull the reader right into the story. Some of the stories will make you laugh and some will make you cry. They all make you go Hmmmmmmm. I can't wait for her next release. She even gives me the chance to be in her next book.
