Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you dreamed someone else's life? Link has always made it a point to keep things simple, but now his cubicle life has become so stale that he would rather spend it sleeping. His doctor gives him a prescription meant to keep him sharp and focused throughout the workday. When the weekend rolls around, boredom leads to Link falling asleep right after taking a pill...and that's when the fun starts. In his dreams, Link is transported across the universe to a colony of spaceships in search of a new home. He meets an AI who informs him that half of the fleet is in danger of extinction. And the man whose body he occupies in his dreams? He's the one orchestrating their demise. Now Link must make a decision; does his waking life deserve some real attention, or should he try to save the space convoy from destruction? By the time he makes up his mind, it may be too late to do anything about either situation.

Book Synopsis Dreams That Matter by : Amira Mittermaier
Download or read book Dreams That Matter written by Amira Mittermaier and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This brilliant study presents contemporary anthropology at its best. Whether one's goal is understanding the permeability of traditions and modernities or the changing shape of religious imagination and thought in one of the most pivotal countries of the Middle East, this book is an outstanding point of departure."—Dale F. Eickelman, author of The Middle East and Central Asia: An Anthropological Approach, 4th ed. "Dreams That Matter is an insightful and well-crafted study of the practice of dreaming in contemporary Egypt. Mittermaier provides a superb analysis of the imaginative repertoires of Islamic traditions and shows how the dream has remained not only a site of Muslim scholarly interest, but an important part of the way ordinary Muslims encounter and engage with the divine."—Charles Hirschkind, author of Powers of the Secular Modern: Talal Asad and His Interlocutors "Amira Mittermaier has given us the most complete anthropological study of dream culture in the Middle East—perhaps in any culture. It is a sensitive, intellectually challenging, indeed a courageous, investigation of the psychological, ontological, and ethical assumptions that lie behind dreams, visions, and dream-visitations in contemporary Egypt—where the dream is a vibrant site of political, religious, and interpretive contest. Dreams That Matter will rank among the most important contributions to the anthropology of the imagination for years to come."—Vincent Crapanzano, author of The Harkis: The Wound That Never Heals
Book Synopsis Dreams from My Father by : Barack Obama
Download or read book Dreams from My Father written by Barack Obama and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama “guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race” (The Washington Post Book World). “Quite extraordinary.”—Toni Morrison In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Praise for Dreams from My Father “Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . This book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of Water and Gregory Howard Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride America’s racial categories.”—Scott Turow “Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.”—The New York Times Book Review “Obama’s writing is incisive yet forgiving. This is a book worth savoring.”—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here “One of the most powerful books of self-discovery I’ve ever read, all the more so for its illuminating insights into the problems not only of race, class, and color, but of culture and ethnicity. It is also beautifully written, skillfully layered, and paced like a good novel.”—Charlayne Hunter-Gault, author of In My Place “Dreams from My Father is an exquisite, sensitive study of this wonderful young author’s journey into adulthood, his search for community and his place in it, his quest for an understanding of his roots, and his discovery of the poetry of human life. Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white.”—Marian Wright Edelman

Download or read book Stumbling Backasswards Into the Light written by Jay Norry and published by Sudden Insight Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From dark yesterday to bright tomorrow… When childhood is over, and adulthood tries to take hold, it all becomes too much for one overwhelmed young man. He sets out to find a place to give up once and for all, to lay his body down and let his wasted life drift away; instead he stumbles onto a whole new way of looking at the world. His new teacher calls him ‘Nobody’, and he can’t deny the truth in the name. A touching friendship unfolds as Nobody hears life and love being explained in a whole new way, and hope begins to burn in his heart as the poignant lessons etch themselves into his thinking. Their time together is a confusing chrysalis for Nobody. He wonders whether it is in him to burst forth a beautifully colored butterfly, as he is slowly transformed.
Book Synopsis This Is All a Dream We Dreamed by : Blair Jackson
Download or read book This Is All a Dream We Dreamed written by Blair Jackson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after the Grateful Dead was formed, the band still exerts a powerful influence over hundreds of thousands of fans around the world. Today, an entire generation of Deadheads who have never experienced a live Dead show are still drawn to the music and the complex and colorful subculture that has grown up around it. In This Is All a Dream We Dreamed, Blair Jackson and David Gans, two of the most well-respected chroniclers of the Dead, reveal the band's story through the words of its members and their creative collaborators, as well as a number of diverse fans, stitching together a multitude of voices into a seamless oral tapestry. Woven into this musical saga is an examination of the subculture that developed into its own economy, touching fans from all walks of life, from penniless hippies to celebrities, and at least one U.S. vice president. The book traces the band's evolution from its folk/bluegrass beginnings through the Jug Band craze, an early incarnation as Rolling Stones wannabes, feral psychedelic warriors, the Americana jam band that blazed through the '70s, to the shockingly popular but still iconoclastic stadium-filling band of later years. The Dead broke every rule of the music business along the way, taking risks and venturing into new territory as they fused inspired ideas and techniques with intuition and fearlessness to create a sound-and a business model-unlike anything heard and seen before.
Book Synopsis Machine Dreams by : Jayne Anne Phillips

Book excerpt: Called “an enduring literary achievement . . . astonishing” by The New York Times, this highly acclaimed debut novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Night Watch introduces the Hampsons, an ordinary, small-town American family profoundly affected by the extraordinary events of history—from the Depression to the Vietnam War. One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Here is a stunning chronicle that is revealed in the thoughts, dreams, and memories of each member of the Hampson family. Mitch struggles to earn a living as Jeans becomes the main breadwinner, working to complete college and raise the family. While the couple fight to keep their marriage intact, their daughter Danner and son Billy forge a sibling bond of uncommon strength. When Billy goes off to Vietnam, Danner becomes the sole bond linking her family, whose dissolution mirrors the fractured state of America in the 1960s. Deeply felt and vividly imagined, this lyrical novel is "among the wisest of a generation to grapple with a war that maimed us all" (The Village Voice), by a master of contemporary fiction.
Book Synopsis On Dreams and Dreaming by : Sudhir Kakar
Download or read book On Dreams and Dreaming written by Sudhir Kakar and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping the uncharted territory at the edges of psychological knowledge, these fascinating essays explore compelling aspects of dreams and dreaming. They discuss topics as diverse as memorable dreams, lucid dreaming, the role of dreams in the evolution of human consciousness and the relationship between dreams and the waking state. In ‘The Dream and Its Embedding’, psychoanalyst Patrick Mahony demonstrates, with absorbing case studies, how dreams can become effective therapeutic tools, while dream scholar Kelly Bulkely concludes in ‘Big Dreams’ that, ultimately, the function of dreams is to make the brain grow. Luigi Zoja, dream analyst, explores the profusion of nightmares among soldiers, prisoners and other victims of war in ‘Nightmares’. And Madhu Tandan, who lived for seven years at an ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, explains how dreams can access a level of consciousness beyond the psychological. This volume is the first in the ‘Boundaries of Consciousness’ series, which, under the leadership of Sudhir Kakar, seeks to bring together psychoanalysts, philosophers, religious studies scholars and neuroscientists in order to expand the frontiers of current psychological understanding. Subsequent volumes will spring from symposia held at Wasan Island, Canada, on the supernatural, death and dying and creativity and imagination. Edited and introduced by Sudhir Kakar, On Dreams and Dreaming will be of interest to scholars and to all who dream and seek to understand why.
Book Synopsis Feeding on Dreams by : Ariel Dorfman
Download or read book Feeding on Dreams written by Ariel Dorfman and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorfman portrays, through visceral scenes and powerful intellect, the personal and political maelstroms underlying his migrations from Buenos Aires, on the run from Pinochet's death squads, to safe houses in Paris and Amsterdam, and eventually to America, his childhood home. The toll on Dorfman's wife and two sons, the 'earthquake of language' that is bilingualism, and his eventual questioning of his allegiance to past and party - all these crucibles of a life in exile are revealed with wry and startling honesty. Feeding on Dreams is a passionate reminder that 'we are all exiles', that we are all 'threatened with annihilation if we do not find and celebrate the refuge of common humanity', as Dorfman did during his 'decades of loss and resurrection'.

Book Synopsis Dreams and How to Guide Them by : Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys
Download or read book Dreams and How to Guide Them written by Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first unabridged English translation of a classic work on dreams by an author regarded as the father of lucid dreaming. First published anonymously in 1867, Dreams and How to Guide Them is the lost classic of lucid dreaming—that is, the art of becoming aware that one is dreaming and then continuing to dream, whether to fly, have erotic encounters, or just explore the dream world further. It has long been a rare and legendary work. Freud knew of it, but never managed to find a copy, and surrealist André Breton begins his own book The Communicating Vessels by discussing it This is the first complete English translation—there was a heavily abridged edition in 1982, much-loved and also rare—and it is now published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Hervey de Saint-Denys. This new edition is edited and introduced by Phil Baker, who traces the author’s life and connects his work with Tibetan Buddhist dream practices, and surrealism, as well as to more recent research in lucid dreaming.

Book Synopsis The F-Model of Dreaming by : Derek Lee
Download or read book The F-Model of Dreaming written by Derek Lee and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost everything we are told about dreaming is wrong. I want to set the record straight, and present you with the truth.Hi, my name is Derek Lee, and I have invested decades of work into bringing you this book. The F-Model of Dreaming is a unique presentation of my own conclusions regarding "what dreaming is" as well as a curation of many of the brightest ideas I have been blessed with finding along my journey.We use the term "dreams" to signify our wishes and desires, and this mis-conception is so engrained in our cultural heritage that Freud invented a system of dream interpretation to make sense of the fact that, when examined closely, dreams are typically anything but our manifest wishes. However, Freud made some giant errors (even though we owe him much). Dreaming is something very different from that which we would want to happen in our waking lives. Falling, fleeing, fighting, and a number of generic failures and mis-fortunes are the normal themes within dreams. This is true now and always has been, as evidenced by the earliest writings and artifacts regarding dreams.In my lifelong pursuit of the question "What are dreams?," I found that the dreaming mind is intertwined with our fables, fairy tales, philosophies, and religions. I re-discovered an ancient language used by the mind to speak to itself in the darkness of sleep. It turns out that dreaming can be understood by the "fight or flight" adage, combined with a host of other F-words. How convenient. And the cornerstone of the dreaming model I present is etched with two words: Failure & Fortitude. Rather than exist as a useless cacophony of neural noise, dreams actually prepare the waking mind for survival.Drawing from years of research and piecing together thousands of clues, I have curated for you the most complete story on the nature of dreaming. This includes not only a pithy history of dream theories and musings, but also the latest findings in cognitive-behavioral science, lucid dreaming, and even suggestions on how to get the most out of your relationship with your own dreams. Everything leading up to and including Freud's seminal work--The Interpretation of Dreams--and Jung and other colleagues after him, up through elucidations shared by Richard Feynman and Stephen LaBerge, and the breakthroughs that instigated Alcoholics Anonymous and CBT Therapy are all in here.For those with both a casual interest in dreaming, psychology, philosophy, and/or neuroscience, and for those who believe they have exhausted any of these topics, I think you will find plenty of gems in The F-Model of Dreaming. Oh, I also explain Consciousness through a N.O.V.E.L. conceptualization in this book. Yea, it's well worth the effort to obtain and finish this work.I'll see you inside.
