Recurring Dreams: a Journey to Wholeness
This book is a testament ot the physical and spiritual healing that can be achieved by listening to and acting upon the promptin of our own dreams. The book chronicles a series of dreams spanning 35 years, which feature a recurring dream character named Victor Biento. An exercise at the end of each chapter guies the reader to greater understanding of the power of metaphor and other principles of dreamwork (Crossing Press, 1998) .

In this remarkable book, Kathleen Sullivan describes how working with dreams can foster self-healing and personal development. What makes Sullivan's approach unique is her emphasis on working with series of dreams and recurring dream themes and images. This was the favored technique of Carl Jung, the first major dreamworker to see dreams as a repository of latent wisdom. Hence, Sullivan is in good company, and she invites her readers to join this endeavor.

Recurring Dream Symbols: A Map to Healing Your Past
Do you ever wonder why your dreams often contain recurring symbol or themes? Have you been haunted by recurring dreams of being chased, being naked in public or having your teeth fall out? Based on her work with dreamers analyzing their own recurring dream symbols, Kathleen Sullivan explains that working recurrent dreams as a series is the key to unleashing the healing force of these symbols. Fourteen dreamers participate in the study illustrating the process of uncovering the profound meaning within each recurring symbol. These are transformational stories of dreamers engaging their own recurring symbols leading to a new wholeness and deep level of growth and understanding. (Paulist Press, 2004) .
