Tracks in the Wilderness of Dreaming

Tracks in the Wilderness of Dreaming
Tracks in the Wilderness of Dreaming is a pretty strange book. The author identifies himself as a "dream helper" -- he means that he helps others to make sense of their dream lives by giving them his own intuitions. In the examples he gives, I don't really see that his intuitions are particularly relevant or helpful.

All in all, I didn't find his accounts particularly credible. He does, however, interview some Aborigine shamans on the subject, and I did find that content to be much more interesting and credible. Dreams and the human mind are indeed a mysterious and meaningful area -- this just isn't a book that will shed much light on the subject.
