Nocturnes

"Lippmann proffers a naturalistic approach appreciative of the playful, complex, even zany creativity embodied in dreams. He urges us, that is, to apprehend dreams on their own terms, in a manner that enables parents actually to experience the unconscious in its radical difference from waking thought.

Only when we approach dreams respectfully - only when we understand them as offering a safe place in which to play with multiple possibilities of thought and action, to make bold metaphorical leaps, to join up with the unruly side of one's mind, and to make contact with one's creativity - do we access their deeper healing potential."--BOOK JACKET.
