From the Author
Interprets your dreams automatically!
Hello all, and thank you for reading about The Dream Oracle. My co-author, Dr Keith Hearne and I have written many books on the subject of dreams, but none more Important than The Dream Oracle - we are extremely excited by it!
Hello all, and thank you for reading about The Dream Oracle. My co-author, Dr Keith Hearne and I have written many books on the subject of dreams, but none more Important than The Dream Oracle - we are extremely excited by it!
It is unique in the way it works, and work it most certainly does. No prior knowledge concerning dreams or dream interpretation is necessary. One simply has to read the book, then start having message bearing dreams to order, and know what they mean. The book does it all for you, it's as simple as that! In fact, we are writing a scientific paper on it, which reveals that, unheard of in psychology, it attains a success rate in about 75% of percipients on the first night. People are already claiming that it has led them to make life changing decisions. Indeed, it has even passed tests set by the media, the results of which can be seen on The Dream Oracle web site.
I am proud to say that this new alphabet coded system is entirely original, startlingly simple to use and in concept, yet enables us all to obtain messages from the wise unconscious mind. In doing so it demonstrates clearly that some dreams do indeed bear messages - a first! The Dream Oracle literally has the potential to change the world, especially if politicians begin using it. Having said that, it can have a powerful effect on a person's life, therefore should be used sparingly and referred to in times of inner conflict or crisis - please regard it as your friend and guide.
Today, 19 April 1999, New Holland, the British Publisher announced that The Dream Oracle has got off to a splendid start in the U S. Like a snowball gathering momentum, Dr Hearne and I know that this book has the potential to take the world by storm!
Finally, out of the other books we have written, never have we added a word to supplement Amazon's reviews - until now. Unless we can come up with another barnstorming idea like The Dream Oracle we doubt that we ever will.
Thank you for reading - David F. Melbourne (Author) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Better illustrations than text
16 Feb 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book is beautifully illustrated by someone who is a master of Photoshop and has used it to produce vividly dreamlike composite images. That was what I enjoyed most about it.
Keith Hearne is a scientist, but the science in the book is not that strong; in fact its factual content is sometimes questionable and usually a bit superficial and naive. For example, at one point the authors discuss an ancient Hindu belief that the last dream of a series in one night should be the one you interpret when predicting the future and comment that this presumably had been arrived at by a long process of observation. This shows extreme naivite about ancient processes of thought. It is much more likely that the rule was arrived at by some process of "logic" such as "The last dream is closest to the future event in time, so it will be the best one to use."
Their survey of ancient thinking about dreams is very much once over lightly and perpetuates some myths, such as the idea that the Aboriginal "dreamtime" was like the western Golden Age or paradisal creation period - a mythical period at the beginning of time. My understanding is that in fact Aboriginals consider the dreamtime to be still continuing today, as a kind of alternate reality (I may have it wrong too, but I'm not writing a book on dreams; if I was I'd talk to an Aboriginal before committing myself).
Their survey of modern thinking and research is not much more in depth, despite the fact the Hearne is himself a dream research scientist. I found it an interesting sidelight that Hearne claims to have originated the idea of signalling with one's eyes from inside a lucid dream, something that Stephen LaBerge also claims to have thought of rather than (as Hearne implies) getting the idea from Hearne. This is probably one of those heated scientific priority controversies, and Hearne may well be in the right; LaBerge's book (Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming) is still much better than his, and so is Healing Dreams: Exploring the Dreams That Can Transform Your Life by Marc Ian Barasch, if you want a broader overview.
Cool pictures though.
