Incredibly powerful, and very practical to boot! Yes this is essential technology. What's good here is REALLY good, and not considerations I've seen anywhere else, which is definitely refreshing! Check out Sarah Janes' freshly released, inevitable future classic. Foolish Fish - Occult Book Review

Sarah Janes is adept at illuminating a path winding about anthropology, applied psychology, ancient religion, archaeoastronomy, and lucid dreaming. Her writing is a pleasure to read and her enthusiasm shines through. William

I perked up when I read the opening pages of your book. And fell under your spell as I listened to your soothing voice taking me from the grey mountaintop to the lush forest below. Still getting into it, but what a pleasant surprise. Craig

Midwest Book Review

Sarah Janes’s Initiation into Dream Mysteries reads like a perfect dream. Not only through the vivid reanimation of the dream cults of antiquity but also through the mellifluous prose by which it is brought to life, the reader (or initiate) is taken on a special journey—as intellectually insightful as it is spiritually inspiring. The text is the synergy of a depth of knowledge and love for the world—mingled with the initiatory stories interspliced throughout, hypnotically elaborate and evocative—that will lift you up to taste that same awakening that was the intent of these very oneiric practices of old.
