This true story shows the key role dreams and intuition can play in our emotional healing as it outlines the emotional struggles of a man coming to terms with his grief over his mothers early death from alcoholism. Setting the tone with a series of waking life and dream experiences, the story shows the conflict that adult children of alcoholics often encounter when trying to resume a normal life after the alcoholic is no longer present in their lives. Covering a twenty-year time frame while using dream images as a background, the story illustrates how emotional healing is often multi-layered and not as straightforward as it may seem. However, with dreams often comes emotional insight. This emotional awareness propels the author into various situations that slowly lead him to a path of accepting his past and confronting some of his most painful memories of life with an alcoholic parent while at the same time allowing him to teach family and friends work with their dreams as well. While primarily a story about the healing nature of dreams and dreamwork, the book also touches on subjects such as adult children of alcoholics, recovery issues and shamanism.
