Dreams can leave us breathless with excitement or scare us senseless but even more thrilling is the experience of mutual dreaming. Incredible, but very real, the phenomenen of sharing the same dream with one or more people, sometimes simultaneously, is much more common than we might think, and also extremely revealing about the way our subconscious works and sends us its messages. Linda Lane Magallon teaches us how to recognise and understand the many different forms mutual dreaming can take, from erotic dreams to terrifying nightmares, and shows us how we can decode and gain insight from them. We can even learn how to induce having the same dream with another person, or more than one person. MUTUAL DREAMING exposes the unlimited potential shared dreaming holds for each of us.
