The Secret Mind

UNLOCK THE POWER OF DREAMS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

Bonnie Buckner, PhD

Discover the solutions found in your dreams, and recapture your imagination and purpose, with this go-to guide for decoding your subconscious.

Author Bonnie Buckner, PhD, creative dreamwork expert, has been teaching executives and creatives across the globe for decades how to harness the power of their dreams. Her life’s work shows that we all have a “secret mind”—a part of our brain that knows exactly how to solve problems and do so with limitless creativity—and that “secret mind” can be accessed through our dreams.
 
In The Secret Mind, Buckner shares her method for translating the mystery of dreams to become a practical tool for not only solving the challenges of your life, but developing your fullest potentials and living a life of purpose.
She will teach you how to:
– build the muscle for remembering and understanding your dreams
– identify patterns and unresolved issues in dreams
– use the waking dream method to re-enter dreams to address unfinished business in your waking life

Drawing from neurobiology and social psychology, The Secret Mind presents dreaming as a practice for both personal and global development. With Buckner’s simple tools and exercises, a more beautiful, creative world is just a dream away.
