Summary: Dreamsongs to bring the soul back home
Review: This is both a superb work of scholarship and fieldwork, and a beautiful account of how dreaming can help us to find our way through the jungles of life, and to bring through healing - above all, the recovery of lost soul energy. I hope it will find a much broader audience, because it is not only brilliant and scrupulous ethnography, but a treasure-trove of indigenous wisdom on healing body and spirit.
