The Secret History of Dreaming by Robert Moss

The Secret History of Dreaming by Robert MossRobert Moss has done it again — The Secret History of Dreaming is a treasure trove of wisdom guaranteed to have you paying renewed attention to both your waking world and your dreaming world. Moss, one of the pioneers of active dreaming, has taken up where his last book, The Three Only Things, left off — exploring the importance of dreams, coincidence and imagination — with more of the emphasis on the dreaming this time.

Like his last book, The Secret History of Dreaming is loaded with real world examples of insights, wisdom, healings, military victories, spiritual awakenings and bursts of creativity that came about as a result of dreams. As Moss uncovers historic instances of people who recorded and paid attention to their dreams, it becomes very clear that, up until recently, men, women, priests, leaders, writers and doctors of all cultures set much store in the knowledge that could come from dreams. Knowledge, or messages imparted in dreams was thought to be coming from the soul’s deepest wisdom — possibly even from an intervening god or spirit that would visit the sleeper to give them advice, or advance their spiritual journey.

The modern idea that dreams are merely the random firing of neurons, or the brain’s computer-like attempt to file the days events, would seem ludicrous to anyone who was born before the 20th century. Even Freud, who espoused a very narrow, sexual interpretation of dream material, (and according to Moss, may have ignored his own dream warning of health problems,) saw the importance of dream activity. Moss recounts a fascinating story of how Carl Jung’s split with Freud came about as a result of a dream.

As you read The Secret History of Dreaming, you will be inspired by the stories and the wisdom with which our ancestors viewed dreams. For some, dreams were regarded as a seedbed of future ideas or events that were waiting to be manifested in the “real” world. Almost every culture historically believed in the power of dreams to foreshadow future events. For others, dreams were the body’s way of conveying possible health problems as well as insights into the foods or activities that could alleviate the problem. Most cultures believed that dreams were a doorway to accessing “sacred knowledge,” to glimpse the universe or a god without the veils of separation that one’s waking mind imposes.

One can’t help but feel that much has been lost over time, in the current soul-deadening, scientific approach to dreaming. The Secret History of Dreaming is all about awakening and germinating a more active dreamlife — and Robert Moss leaves us wanting more — more of his books, but also more ideas, more traveling to other worlds, more creativity and more encounters with the divine.

The Art of Remembering and Interpreting Dreams By Judith Orloff, M.D.

| by Judith Orloff, M.D.

For me, dreaming is a direct line to a place where magic abounds and nothing is without meaning. It is a pristine state of awareness, unpolluted and clear. Direct guidance for healing lies in our dreams, the natural territory of intuition. Here, time and space are non-existent and anything is possible. Like a blank, white canvas, our dream world is a spacious medium where intuition can freely express itself. We have only to listen.”

The Only Dream Expert Is You By Robert Moss

You are the final authority on your dreams, and you should never give the power of your dreams away by handing them over to other people to interpret. Yes, our dreams can be confusing and opaque, and we gain greatly from other people’s insights, especially when those other people are “frequent flyers” who work closely with their own dreams and have developed a fine intuition about what may be going on in dreaming. So it’s okay to ask for help. More than that, we often need help because we are too close to our own issues, or too inhibited by self-limiting to see what may be obvious to a complete outsider.
