Editorial Reviews

In Growing Big Dreams, Robert Moss skillfully magnetizes us back into the world of the shaman and the dreamer, the world of our magical inner child. Reminding us that the drought of dreaming characteristic of our everyday reality may be the cause of our many dysfunctions, he eases us into the twilight zone where synchronicities spring forth and treasures await. With all the allurements of a born storyteller, he urges us to hunt the dreams that are hunting us, to call soul back into our lives. Like a true lover, he sends us twelve gifts to teach us how to manifest our inner power and beauty. Just reading him is a joy, and this book is one more feather in the cap of a master teacher of dreaming.”
— Catherine Shainberg, PhD, author of Kabbalah and the Power of Dreaming

“A magnificent gift from a master of dreams. Robert Moss’s twelve secrets unpack a world of magic, showing us various ways to enter the healing world of our dreams. After my first reading, I followed the wisdom of Growing Big Dreams and was immediately rewarded with guidance from the dream world. I’m already rereading the book and recommending it to my friends and students. This is a book you’ll want on your bookshelf to refer to over and over again.”
— HeatherAsh Amara, author of The Warrior Heart Practice

“An essential read for these times when we must reaffirm our dreams as oracles, our stories as valuable, and our imaginations as the fertile ground in which the future of our global collective is already being seeded. Robert Moss writes of our ‘dream drought’ as a pandemic and shows that where there is struggle and setback, there is also opportunity.”
— Danielle Dulsky, author of The Holy Wild and Sacred Hags Oracle

“In Growing Big Dreams, Robert Moss shows why Einstein was correct when he famously declared, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge.’ This splendid book is one of the clearest guides to unleashing the power of our imagination through our dream life. Our imagination is the gateway to creativity. To open the gate, let dream shaman Robert Moss be your guide.”
— Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind

— Kelly Sullivan Walden, bestselling author of It’s All In Your Dreams

“With the warmth and ease of an experienced magic maker, Robert Moss weaves a spell that binds together stories, myths, synchronicities, and the secret desires of the soul as expressed in dreams. He invites us to explore the power of images and childlike play, grow our own big stories, and manifest our heart’s desire. A beautiful book that carries a much-needed vision of bright possibility during these times of global shift.”
— Dr. Clare Johnson, author of The Art of Lucid Dreaming and The Art of Transforming Nightmares

“Robert Moss has a big, strong voice. He’s funny and deeply serious at the same time, erudite about a wide range of dream lore and dream practices. He shows that the way of dreams is a way of growth — how we grow from our dreams, how we grow into them, how we can grow bigger in heart than we’ve ever imagined — if only we learn to trust what we imagine.”
— Rodger Kamenetz, author of The History of Last Night’s Dream

“Unreservedly recommended . . . ”
