This book would be a shadow of itself without the compelling and astonishing nightmares so generously shared with me by warmhearted people from around the globe. My heartfelt thanks go out to all of you who shared your brave stories and revelations. It has been an honour for me to channel your dreams through the book and watch them illuminate the manuscript.
I was delighted to work on The Art of Transforming Nightmares with my talented editors, Angela Wix and Andrea Neff, and I’m thankful for the care and attention the multitalented team at Llewellyn Worldwide give to every aspect of my books.
I’m grateful to the little dream tiger who let me pick him up at a time when the floor of my writing room was strewn with nightmare accounts and I was trying to get a grip on the masses of material that went into this book. My thanks also go to the vibrant baby girl with alchemical symbols for fire and water tattooed on her kneecaps who appeared to me in a dream to let me know the book was in good shape. Writing this book felt like pure alchemy due to the powerful, transformative nature of nightmares, and I’m thankful to Yazzie and Markus for their love and support throughout the rollercoaster creative process.
As always, I feel honoured whenever I get to meet soulful dreamers and hear their fascinating stories in my online workshops and on lucid dreaming ocean retreats. It’s a joy to accompany you on your journey into the thrilling world of sleep, dreams … and nightmares!
