• enter the dream or ‘writer’s trance’ at will, through intention and surrender

• explore the unique landscapes, themes and images of your personal unconscious

• increase your dream awareness to boost your writing

• use writing to deepen your understanding of dreams

• enter the mythic dimension, where ‘big dreams’ and bestsellers are born

Industry Reviews

A cracking read... astounding! The dream journey is insightful and dramatic and leads beautifully into the writing exercises. ~ Lesley Howarth, award-winning author

Jenny carefully weaves the threads of her own life in Shetland and in Cornwall with her knowledge of psychology, anthropology, myths and therapy, and builds a fascinating book for dreamers and for writers. ~ Penny Dolan, Awfully Big Reviews

It is so smart and so refreshingly original. You don’t know where the journey is going to take you or what is coming next. I love that! ~ Sian Morgan, author and psychologist

It's very exciting that the extraordinarily beautiful, creative and individual ideas Jenny has shared for years in dream workshops and conversations with friends have finally got a chance to be shared with the world at large. ~ Liz Kessler, New Your Times bestselling author

This is an astonishing book. I don’t think I’ve read another like it. It’s a book of writing exercises and advice on how to write – but, equally, exercises and advice on how to live another life, in your dreams. ~ Susan Price, award-winning author

How lovely - the idea of enjoying dreams for what they are, without the need for instant interpretation - just a gradual opening to deeper understanding, and how our inner life can enrich both writing, and day to day existence… I was surprised at how quickly my dream recall came back to me after a long gap from recording my dreams. ~ Josephine Gabriel, writer and blogger

An unusual blend of autobiography, psychology and insights into the creative process centring around the gifts offered by our dreams. I found it fascinating and informative from beginning to end. ~ Victoria Field, writer and poetry therapist
