Summary: DREAM GATES is the marriage of dreamwork and shamanism
Review: DREAM GATES is not a book on tape, or a recorded workshop. It is an audio training program that will enable you to learn the techniques of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism. Core techniques include dream reentry: learning to go back inside a remembered dream to clarify messages, overcome nightmare terrors, dialog with a dream character, and explore other dimensions of reality. The tapes contain deeply moving stories of dream healing and initiation, drawn from my teaching and practice. In childhood I survived several near-death experiences and first encountered the ways of a Dreaming people through my friendship with Aborigines in my native Australia. I have known since then that the dreamworld is a real world, perhaps more real than much of waking life, when we are often in the condition of sleepwalkers moving through patterns of habit and repetition. In big dreams, we wake up to a larger reality and encounter the Higher Self. At its heart, Active Dreaming is a method of soul remembering: reclaiming knowledge that belonged to you, on the level of soul and spirit, before you came into this life experience. May your best dreams come true - and may you remember them!

Summary: An Excellent Introduction to the Mystical Side of Dreaming
Review: I have read many books on dreaming and dream analysis. This set of tapes presents a very good introduction to the more mystical / shamanic side of dreaming. What sets these tapes apart from Robert's book is the exercises that he presents and walks you through on the tape. They make an excellent gift for anyone interested in dreaming.

Summary: This 6-tape series is a set of shamanic power tools
Review: I want to clarify that this is the original 6-cassette version of my audio training program. It is NOT a book on tape and has different content from DREAMGATES the book. From the publisher's original description: DREAM GATES takes you through a complete training course for the inner adventurer, where you will learn - through guided dream inductions and exercises - how to traverse the uncharted expanses of dream reality. What are the keys to "conscious dreaming"? How can you develop your powers of dream precognition? What are the most effective ways to tap your dreams for insight, creativity, and helaing? In this expanisve, 12-session workshop, you will develop dream skills for embarking on routes to other worlds...tracking down hidden knowledge...and returning with it to waking life. Albert Einstein onec revealed that the inspiration for his theory of relativity came to him in a dream state. Each of us, each night, has within reach this source of unlimited wisdom and vision. Now, you can learn to venture through the portals of your own DREAM GATES. YOU WILL LEARN * The purpose and power of dreams: Why you were "born to fly" * Simple and effective ways to enhance your dream recall * How to embark on conscious dreams * "Shamanic tracking" - hunting for wisdom in the dream world * How to return to a dream to resolve it and clarify its messages * Dream pathways to your ancestors and departed loved ones * Dreaming practices for writers, artists, scientists and career professionals * How to use dreams as doorways to other worlds and dimensions of reality * "Dreaming true": Four ways to use dream wisdom in your waking life * Dream medicine - healing insight from your deeper self * "Soul remembering": How your dreams reveal your life's purpose * Much, much more

Summary: Dream Gates: A Journey into Active Dreaming (Six tapes)
Review: There is an immediacy to these audio tapes that conveys Robert Moss's natural abilities as a teacher and dream bringer. It is a pleasure to hear his voice tell stories and impart information on how to remember our dreams and use them for the benefit of ourselves and our society. I bought sets for friends interested in their dreams who do not speak English as a first language and who might have difficulty reading Robert Moss 's books (which I highly recommend). Any person with a visual difficulty would appreciate the audio cassettes. For those who like to learn from Robert Moss how to navigate in their dreamscapes and discover help and healing through Active Dreaming techniques, these tapes are a marvellous aid. They encourage and enlighten the dreamer within us all. Also on the market now is a video series with Robert Moss, which is very engaging and informative.

Summary: Great listening! Informative, creative, energizing.
Review: These tapes can stand alone or are complimentary to Robert Moss' books, Conscious Dreaming, Dream Gates and Dreaming True. (I have them all.) There is content included on the tapes that is not in the books. Best of all is that the tapes can be used for one's own growth by doing the exercises with the guidance of the voice of Robert Moss. The breadth of knowledge that is shared and the richness of story is sure to stimulate the imagination of the listener. As a workshop leader and teacher, I like to listen to how others teach, so I find it helpful to listen to tapes when I'm on a road trip in order to expand my repertoire. This set is among my favorites!

Summary: So NOT a "book on tape"!
Review: This audio set is a course in adventure! Yes, it is complimented by Mr Moss' book of the same title, but it is not some airy thing that you pop in the tape deck for distraction on those long road trips! This is a guide for the Roads to be found in Shamanic journeys. Mr Moss' narration sets the perfect tone for the excursion, and his years of experience teaching workshops on the subject shine through. To complement these tapes, he also has a new series of videos, from Psyche Productions in Milford CT, which deepen the journey even further. The possibilities are limitless!!!

Summary: This is different from the two-tape audio program!
Review: This original audio version of Dream Gates is a complete educational program, and covers in-depth the same material the listener would experience by attending Robert Moss' day-long workshop. The two-tape version of Dream Gates contains the highlights of the material covered in the complete learning set, and is an excellent introduction to the material.

Review: Unless you are too lazy or to busy to read, you don't really need to buy this expensive set of audio cassettes: the topics covered can all be found in "Conscious Dreaming" by the same author. Even the anecdotes are the same!
Regarding the techniques covered in these talks, one wonders whether Robert Moss is talking only for people who are innately psychic and highly gifted spiritually, since he gives very few details about how exactly to apply them. One is told to do this and that and that's it! "Arouse yourself sexually and then shift your consciousness", is the kind of fuzzy advice you will find under Robert Moss's pen. Needless to say, things aren't that simple!
The pace of the talks is very quick and Robert Moss's voice is not quite soothing, so don't imagine that you will somehow fall into a trance by listening to the tapes.
There is some drumming and relaxation exercices but they are too short to be effective.
Just buy the books knowing that they are just as sketchy as regards the techniques and remember: you are the greatest authority on your own dreams!!!
