20 Final notes & resources on Dreams and Dreaming
Reading Reference:
Three kinds of Bibliographies will be provided. The first will be the
smaller bibliographies that will come with each topic area and the second
will be a wider bibliography provided at the end of the class. Finally,
Internet resources will be offered.
There are no required readings for the class, as we will use more of a
hands-on or interactive approach. However, we do offer suggested reading
and highly recommend them as we feel they will deepen your knowledge base
and widen the experience, as well as providing alternative perspectives to
the bias we carry in the email approach.
**By the way, you may want to pick up the September 1995 issue of LIFE
magazine, as it devotes 12 pages to dreaming and speaks to current issues
in the field.

Suggested Readings for
Introduction to Dream Sharing On the Net
Some Introductory Texts that are available
================================================
1. Faraday, Ann (1974). The Dream Game. New York: Harper & Row.
[This is a very readable and easy to find book, usually located in any
used bookstore for a few dollars. Good simple overview of the dreaming
field]
2. Delaney, Gayle (ed) (1993). New Directions in Dream Interpretation.
Albany, New York, NY: SUNY Press.
[This is a bit more advanced text than most novices want to take on, but
provides authoritative essays on how-to interpret dreams, many chapters by
the people who developed the techniques themselves. Gayle has a good
beginners book out too called (1988). Living Your Dreams: Using Sleep to
Solve Problems and Enrich Your Life. Revised Ed. San Francisco: Harper and
Row.]
3. Van De Castle, R. L. (1994). Our Dreaming Mind. New York: Ballantine
Books.
[A fairly recent overview of the Dream World in General, including
Science, Religion, Psychology, Anthropology and more by one of the
pioneers and authorities in the field. Fairly expensive though.]
4.Taylor, Jeremy (1983) Dream Work. New York: Paulist Press.
[A great beginning approach to Dreamwork using Jungian principles. Taylor
has a new and delightful book out about social dreaming now too, called
_Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill: Using Dreams to tap the Wisdom of
the Unconscious_. New York, NY: Warner Books, Inc. You should be able to
find a used copy for $5 -$6]
5. Shafton, Anthony (1995). _Dream Reader: Contemporary Approaches to the
Understanding of Dreams_. Albany, NY:SUNY Press.
[Probably have to special oder this and its pricey - I think I just paid
$30 or so. But it is quite extensive and has a lot of information often
left out on grass roots dreamwork. Nothing about the Net, yet]
6. Krippner, Stanley (ed) (1990). Dreamtime and Dreamwork: Decoding the
Languge of the Night. Los Angeles, CA: Jeremy P. Tarcher.
[20+ renowned researchers on a variety of dream sharing topics and issues]
Specific Bibliographies will be included with each class.
