Description



Book Synopsis



This book is full of new ways of interpreting your dreams. These short reflections, share insights from over 30 years of personal dream observations by psychologist Dr. Richard Bargdill. Passages address a multitude of topics such as déjà vu, prophetic dreams, recurring dreams, lucid dreaming, sleep studies, space-time continuum, dream recall tips, creativity in dreams, reoccurring dream characters, dead-relative dreams, and more. Throughout, he tips his hat to many other dreams researchers, such as Freud, Jung, Hobson, Boss, Krippner, Jaffe, and others. However, he breaks new ground by suggesting dreams are visual representation of common sayings in our native language (idioms). Hence, the common dream of climbing up mountain only to fall near the peak might be asking us if our performance, in some area of our life, has "fallen off a cliff."

He coins new terms like "nightmirth," which he juxtaposes to a "nightmare" because one wakes up laughing and joyful instead of fearful. He asserts that dreams are hypothetical situations that put us in moral quandaries so that we might think deeply about our own dream-me's character. Then our awake-me can learn from this experience and be a better person. Dreams are school for our soul! He suggests dreams can function as karmic inversions by putting us into the same scenarios that we, in real life, have put others into. There are also relationship and talent inversions where the dream simulates a "role reversal" that ultimately gets us to think about the golden rule!



Review Quotes




There are numerous books about dreams on the market, but A Dreamer's Thought Book is unique, provocative, and unlike anything you might have read about this fascinating topic. Its author, Richard Bargdill, sees dreams as a "school for the soul," one that is both unique and universal, both playful and profound. No matter if you have done dreamwork for years or are a newcomer, you will find novel ways of appreciating your dreams that you never found possible.

Stanley Krippner, PhD

Author, A Chaotic Life


A Dreamer's Thought Book: Intriguing Ideas About the Dreaming Process is a wonderful and inspiring book for both professionals and lay people interested in dreamwork. The idea of presenting all this powerful material and information in the form of maxims and aphorisms for every entry is a very creative and helpful format for the reader. One can easily access those maxims that they areinterested in and can use the book as a great reference point. The tips for recording dreams and the emphasis given in our night life can arouse one's interest in the dreaming process. I am sure I will recommend this book to my students and clients.

Richard Bargdill's latest work is an intimate portrayal of his own decades long journey into the manifold worlds of his dreams. It is a genuinely heuristic venture. Although heuristic refers to the process of "discovering for one's self," Bargdill generously shares the personal insights and principles he has gleaned for others to consider for grasping ever surprising meanings from their own oneiric adventures.
