ABSTRACT
A persistent message comes through again and again in James Hillman’s approach to dreams: draw near to the dream with respect and attention, enter its culture like a foreigner open to new ways. He urges us to “befriend” the dream, getting to know it the way we might get to know a person. The dream then becomes the occasion for learning about the inner worlds; the people who wander the soul; the landscapes of imagination; the stories and themes that are the cycles of fate, mood, and experience.
