talkingdream: Interview on Shrink Rap Radio

A SHRINK RAP RADIO interview with Dr. Dave about archetypal dreaming and whatever else came to mind...

THE HISTORY OF LAST NIGHT'S DREAM

What would you say if someone told you that all the masterful dream interpreters in history, from the biblical Joseph to the heretical Freud were … well, wrong? That is the jolt delivered by Rodger Kamenetz in this powerful and beautifully written book. Kamenetz is a soul-searcher, quite literally, and we are all better off because of it.
-- Stephen J. Dubner, author of Turbulent Souls, co-author of Freakonomics

Rodger Kamenetz's The History of Last Night's Dream is an enchanting and provocative book exploring a subject with profound implications about our very humanity. As always, Kamenetz writes with intellectual keenness, spiritual longing, and the verbal elegance of a poet. This is a book that has the cumulative effect of our most complex and revealing dreams.
-- Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize Winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain

For those of us who cherish The Jew in the Lotus, a new book by Rodger Kamenetz is something to celebrate. He takes us on a wholly beguiling and illuminating night-journey through the history of dreams, from Joseph to Freud and far beyond, and he shows us the extraordinary richness of meaning that can be extracted from the common human experience of dreaming. A profound, affecting and deeply rewarding book from a charismatic teacher.
--Jonathan Kirsch, A History of the End of the World

REVIEWS AND ARTICLES

"The History of Last Night's Dream" may well change [your life]. Kamenetz's fierce honesty and unflinching self-revelation inspire both admiration and awe and sympathy and a sense of kinship. We are all dreamers, are we not? This smart, funny, and revolutionary book is filled with compassion for our dreaming minds, for the ways in which they reveal ourselves to ourselves, for the ways our dreams, nighttime or waking, can carry us back to love and so to God.

--Susan Larson, New Orleans Times-Picayune

Rodger Kamenetz writes in this fascinating book that words, too many words, stand between us and our dreams. We must learn to think in images, the language of dreams. And if we overcome our obsession with interpreting dreams, we can access the truths they offer...A dream's ability to reveal the opposition in your life -- the person, pattern or thing that keeps you from being happy -- is, Kamenetz writes, "a strange miracle."
