Among All These Dreamers

This is a marvellous collection of essays on various ways that dreaming can ease the stress of modern society and even help construct a better society. I particularly enjoyed essays on the specifics of women's dreams and those of African-Americans as well as those on dreams as revitalizers of our spiritual lives. A really thoughtful and dream-provoking book.
