The Dream Book: Symbols for Self-Understanding
by Betty BethardsBetty began lecturing and giving seminars on dreams when she realized that "dreams are your greatest tool for understanding yourself and your life." But most people neglect this free inner resource of guidance. "People have been asking me for this book for years," Betty explains, "and at long last here it is. I have channeled information on every symbol in the book, which as you can imagine was a time-consuming task. But I learned so much in the process! Now I gladly share this with you." "Betty's channel is her attunement to her higher self, spiritual guidance or God self. It is a vehicle for receiving insight and information which is usually beyond the reach of the conscious mind. She is quick to point out that everyone has a channel, a level or frequency of awareness called higher consciousness. Attuning to it is really listening to the teacher within or your own guidance. She believes we are particularly receptive to this level in the dream state." This book teaches the reader how to tune into the guidance being communicated through dreams.
