A powerful spiritual journey ...

Unexpectedly uprooted from the familiar soil of home, work, and family in California, an analytical psychologist traces a path revealed in her dreams to its source in an experience of ancient and modern Buddhist Japan. 

Dreams are seldom to be seen in a literal way. Most often they are symbolic communications from the Self—images presented to guide us toward our greatest wholeness. Yet, there are times when dreams require an appropriate action in the phenomenal world.

A Path of Dreams is the story of a journey of discernment between creative action and creative quietude, Eastern and Western aspects of psyche, personality and Essential Nature, and the changes in worldview that appear when one studies for many years within the subculture of a timeless mountain temple that is itself within the intensely “other” cultural atmosphere of Japan.
