Queen of Dreams: The Story of a Yaqui Dreaming Woman

Rating:
Summary: Yuck! This sets back the women's movement 100 years...
Review: I'm not a "libber" but I was certainly not happy that this story-teller proudly declared a woman's place is serving her husband.

I expected to read about dreaming techniques and instead had to find my way through a convoluted telling of this woman's childhood dreaming experiences, how she came to meet her "Dark Lord," how the earth shook when they made love and how fulfilled she is supporting her husband's mission to lead the Yaqui nation.

What a crock. If you're interested in developing Yaqui dreaming techniques, read Carlos Castanada's books instead. Although the "exercises" described in them are difficult and required a very long time to achieve success, they are effective and do work.

Summary: It's your dream, it's your life.
Review: One of the things that struck me after the first dozen pages is that this is a real story about real Yaqui people. Heather provides us with a unique snapshot of American Indian life, the magic, the drama, and the power to see the world as the Yaqui do. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping. If you want to know more about the world that we spend so much time in and it's connection to our waking world, read this book.
The first reviewer entirely missed the point of the book, only scratching the surface of a deeper understanding, and in so missed a chance to learn about their dreams and about themselves.

Summary: Must Read For All Seekers
Review: This opened my eyes to a greater world which Castaneda started in the 1970s. Reading anecdotes always helps me to gain better understanding of psychic principles. Thank you for writing this book!
