Though they are bound to biblical heroes and heroines, Bible dreams are also public: meant to serve the needs of readers, reflecting dreams all of us experience in our own spiritual quests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author applies traditional interpretations alongside insights from anthropology, psychology, archaeology, dream research, philosophy, and science. Explore the mid-life crisis in Abraham's dreams; trials of separation, estrangement, job loss, death, divorce in Jacob's dreams; gifts of vision and prophecy in Joseph's dreams; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Preface, former Associate Director of Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Eugene J. Fisher, writes: \"This is not 'grocery store spirituality' or 'new age mysticism.' This is the real stuff. Here, the Bible itself speaks to each of us to address our deeper concerns, anxieties, and hopes -- the deeper fears and visions that we admit to ourselves only in our dreams, when we sleep and lay ourselves open to the quiet whisperings of the Spirit of God who dwells in our hearts.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Talmud warns: \"A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read.\" If there is a lot of \"D\"-mail in your life going unanswered, this book may help you retrieve your messages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Reviews of the First Edition -\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - \"A linguistic and exegetical treasure trove...
