Bestselling author Ted Andrews helps us stimulate greater dream activity, experience the power of lucid dreaming, discover controlled out-of-body experiences, awaken our inner selves, and much more. Using dream totems and mandalas, exercises in metamorphosis, and ancient dream guardians, this guide to dream alchemy presents the process of becoming a shapeshifter-someone who can shift between the waking and dreaming worlds.
