Summary

The Archetypal Power in Women's Dreams

Every night of our lives, we experience between five and seven dreams, each reflecting our most intimate passions and conflicts. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés compares each one to a riddle. Once solved, it can provide a surprising answer to an unresolved question buried within the psyche. On In the House of the Riddle Mother, Estés surveys the most common archetypal patterns women experience while dreaming. Based on 20 years of work, this audio seminar is a dense, poetic storehouse of information about the dream life of women. Information is divided into 17 instructive sections, each devoted to analyzing distinct dream motifs.

Profoundly nourishing and inspiring

I absolutely adore everything that comes out of Clarissa 's mouth! Truly divine. As someone who has a very colorful dream life, I already get a lot out of writing down and pondering on my dreams, but this book immediately gave me deeper insights and a richer way to interpret them. I find her voice so soothing, I just love listening in bed before I go to sleep.

Useful and inspirational from dreamwork

This is a short ellaboration on common archetypal motives in womens dreams. All dreams have both personal and archetypal significance that has to be examined. This is a guide to the archetypal meaning of dreams, however it gives you tips on how to do your personal interpretation also.

I liked this very much and found it inspirational, it also gives imporant insights into doing things in the actual world based on the findings in the inner world of dreams to actual change and transform your life.

I had not remembered my dreams for a long time, after listening to this my dream world became alive and activated again and I started engaging in my favorite method- active imagination to retrieve and interperet my dream. found in robert johnsons book " inner work":
