Reviews

Lindskoog has spent some 25 years accumulating dreamlore, partly from books, partly from her own prodigiously fertile subconscious; and now she guides us through this chaotic but intriguing collection. Her piety is open-minded and unobtrustive, but in the end it is Lindskoog's personality -- warm, bright, witty, slightly scatter-brained -- rather than any religious faith, that structures the book and makes it go. Quirky, lively, absorbing.
--KIRKUS REVIEWS

Though Lindskoog takes dreams seriously, she does not take herself too seriously, and so we trust her. I have never read a more cogent explanation of what happens during sleep, or been so enlightened regarding the function of dreams in mental health.
--CHRISTIANITY TODAY

The Gift of Dreams is credible popular scholarship; it contains a good deal of common sense.
--CHRISTIAN CENTURY

To those who doubt that dreams mean anything, THE GIFT OF DREAMS is intended as a perfect squelch. One of the finest qualities of Lindkoog's try at a perfect squelch is that it is written in her usual style. Lindskoog knows how to tantalize readers.
--REFORMED JOURNAL

Lindskoog has established a niche for her book by labelling dreams a "gift." Anyone looking for an introduction to the field of dreams from a Christian view will find it helpful.
--ETERNITY MAGAZINE

An exhaustive anthology of dream material and dream theory. The extensive bibliography and index will be found most helpful.
