Dreaming is vital to the human story. It is essential to our survival and evolution, to creative endeavors in every field, and, quite simply, to getting us through our daily lives. All of us dream. Now Robert Moss shows us how dreams have shaped world events and why deepening our conscious engagement with dreaming is crucial for our future. He traces the strands of dreams through archival records and well-known writings, weaving remarkable yet true accounts of historical figures who were influenced by their dreams. In this wide-ranging, visionary book, Moss creates a new way to explore history and consciousness, combining the storytelling skills of a bestselling novelist with the research acumen of a scholar of ancient history and the personal experience of an active dreamer.

A DVANCE P RAISE FOR T HE S ECRET H ISTORY OF D REAMING

One of the most lyrically written and deeply inspiring books about dreams Ive ever read. Robert Moss brings the grace of a novelist, the erudition of a scholar, and the visionary wisdom of a shaman to bear in this wonderful new book.... More than anything, Moss gives voice to the primal joy that dreaming evokes, the sheer creative freedom thats set loose every time we go to sleep. If I were ever stuck on that proverbial desert island, this is the book Id want to have with me.

Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, visiting scholar, Graduate Theological Union,
and author of Dreaming in the Worlds Religions

Robert Moss has done it again he has written a most engaging, informative, and eye-opening book. It is also a book that challenges many of the most deeply held and unconsciously reactive prejudices of scientific dream researchers.... As the book amply demonstrates, the collective, historic importance of these particular dreams, and dreaming in general, is undeniable. I recommend it most heartily!

Jeremy Taylor, Shift magazine

This is no standard book on dreams, but an illuminating and highly enjoyable read by world-renowned dreaming expert Robert Moss, who begins by focusing on the role of dreaming as a secret engine in human evolution and survival in all aspects of society. Moss... shows how dreams can and do change the course of history and how it is possible to reclaim and use that power.

Yoga Magazine

A masterly survey and exploration of how inner dreamt realities have generated core historical realities across time and space. A great and very informative read.

Iain R. Edgar, PhD, professor of anthropology, Durham University,
and author of A Guide to Imagework

In a brilliantly insightful new book, Robert Moss makes history fun by showing how dreams and dreaming helped create many of historys most pivotal moments. Its a fascinating look into a side of history many of us have been missing. A renowned dream teacher, novelist, and scholar, Moss uses historic examples to show how dreams have enormous potential to influence not only great events, but our own everyday lives as well.

Roger Ziegler, Wellness column, www.examiner.com

Robert Mosss detective work has unearthed a secret history of dreaming that demonstrates how nighttime dreams, in concert with coincidence and imagination, have resulted in artistic productions, scientific discoveries, political turnarounds, spiritual breakthroughs, and the course of human evolution itself. This splendid book is destined to become a classic, one that transcends disciplines and provides an agenda for the role that dreams can play in ensuring human survival.

Stanley Krippner, PhD, coauthor of
Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them

Robert Moss is a brilliant teacher of the immense and intimate field of dreaming. Nearly anything imagined, from invention to strategy to poetry, has its roots in dreams. Moss deftly and powerfully demonstrates that dreams are the spirit body from which this world emerges. The Secret History of Dreaming is an essential text and should be included alongside any study of human history or scientific inquiry.

Joy Harjo, poet, musician, and author of How We Became Human

No one but no one could write this brilliant book better than Robert Moss has! Moss merges the oldest (from five thousand years ago) dream record of Dumuzi and goes on through the ages, marking signposts that lead into the latest research in the fields of science, health and medicine, creative endeavors, and mind matters, and those that explore psyche, spirit, and soul as a harmonious whole.

Rita Dwyer, past president and executive officer,
International Association for the Study of Dreams

This beautifully written book is highly recommended for dreamers as well as for practitioners of dream interpretation worldwide. Its destined to become one of the most important and authoritative books in the field of dreaming, one that all devoted dreamers and libraries will need to own.

Barbara Tedlock, PhD, author of The Woman in the Shamans Body and

P RAISE FOR R OBERT M OSSS T HE T HREE O NLY T HINGS

Readers will be pleased and inspired by Mosss reinterpretation of the world.

Library Journal
