A slender but powerful new book . . . the authors inject level-headed analysis into an arena often dominated by seekers of the paranormal. --Anne Underwood, "Newsweek"

"While the book avoids adopting a particular religious perspective and sidesteps questions about the existence of life after death or the predictive power of dreams, it is infused with the sense that dreams-and human lives-are intrinsically meaningful." --"Library Journal"

"A groundbreaking book . . . from the dying dream of Socrates to the last vision of Carl Jung, it integrates a kaleidoscope of knowledge on the role of dreams in world history, theology, and myth."--Sarah Berkley, "Sonoma Index-Tribune"
