"Kamenetz has written a manual for living the dream of life through the real dreams of an individual." -- Andrei Codrescu, NPR Commentator "A profound, affecting and deeply rewarding book from a charismatic teacher." -- Jonathan Kirsch, author of A History of the End of the World "Kamenetz's new book brilliantly combines dream and soul and offers an accessible understanding of both. I highly recommend it." -- Brian L. Weiss, M.D., author of Many Lives, Many Masters "An enchanting and provocative book exploring a subject with profound implications about our very humanity." -- Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize Winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain "[A] powerful and beautifully written book." -- Stephen J. Dubner, bestelling co-author of Freakanomics "Kamenetz's fierce honesty and unflinching self-revelation inspire both admiration and awe [...] [A] smart, funny, and revolutionary book..." -- Susan Larson, New Orleans Times-Picayune "Rodger Kamenetz writes in this fascinating book that words, too many words, stand between us and our dreams." -- Los Angeles Times "The History of Last Night's Dream is at once affable and audacious; Kamenetz is a reliable narrator in unreliable territory... Kamenetz's poetic eye is alive and well." -- The Forward "Rodger Kamenetz's vividly honest and well-reswearched book on dreams in Western culture is extraordinary-- in part for its defiance of genre...Before I read it had heard Kamenetz refer to it as a memoir, but it as much an argument for a paradigm shift in dream interpretation." -- The Christian Century
