The Dreamer's Book of the Dead: A Soul Traveler's Guide to Death, Dying, and the Other Side Paperback - 2005

NEW AGE / DREAMS "In this captivating and inspiring guide to the land of the dead, Moss shocks and thrills by revealing the hidden truth--that the Otherworld is in fact the familiar landscape of our dreams, where we go every night. For a better death and life -beyond death, do not miss this extraordinary book." --Catherine Shainberg, author of Kabbalah and the Power of Dreaming "An important work for a world in which we quickly dispose of our dead and move on. Learn to become a voyager of the imagination where you can meet with loved ones and guides in a place as true as this one." --Mary K. Greer, author of Women of the Golden Dawn and Tarot for Your Self We yearn for contact with departed loved ones. We miss them, ache for forgive-ness or closure, and long for confirmation that there is life beyond physical death. In The Dreamer's Book of the Dead, Robert Moss explains that we have entirely natural contact with the departed in our dreams, when they come visiting and we may travel into their realms. As we become active dreamers, we can heal our relationship with the departed and move beyond the fear of death. We also can develop the skills to function as soul guides for others, helping the dying to approach the last stage of life with courage and grace, opening gates for their journeys beyond death, and even escorting them to the Other Side. Drawing on a wealth of personal experience as well as many ancient and indigenous traditions, Moss offers stories to inspire us and guide us. He shares his extraordinary visionary relationship with the poet W. B. Yeats, whose greatest ambition was to create a Western Book of the Dead to feed the soul hunger of our times. Moss teaches us the truth of Chief Seattle's statement that "there is no death; we just change worlds." ROBERT MOSS survived three near-death experiences in childhood and has been dreaming with the departed all of his life. He is the creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanic techniques for empowerment and healing. A former university professor of ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a novelist, shamanic counselor, and the author of Conscious Dreaming, Dreamgates, and Dreamways of the Iroquois. He lives in upstate New York.
