"Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a brilliant analysis of the complex role of dreams and dreaming in Indian religion, philosophy, literature, and art. . . . In her creative hands, enchanting Indian myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as different as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl G�del, Thomas Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and many others. This richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our world."—Mark C. Taylor, New York Times Book Review
"Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you appreciate its central point, which is that in traditional Hindu thought the dream isn't an accident or byway of experience, but rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of categories, its teasing readiness to blur the line between the imagined and the real, the dream actually embodies the whole problem of knowledge. . . . [O'Flaherty] wants to make your mental flesh creep, and she succeeds."—Mark Caldwell, Village Voice

ACTUALLY I BOUGHT THIS FOR PERSPECTIVE ON THE BHAGAVADA GITA
By Roy Clark
I was right to do so.
Ever read a review which starts with a link? Here: God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita But this book review pertains to DREAMS, ILLUSIONS AND OTHER REALITIES, which I bought as a companion piece for the big BG. I've
been comparing religions since 1980. DREAMS, et al does work well with that other, really fine two-volume book, although for its paper-back price it lacks the glowing illustrations of the heard-bound two-volume set, saving me about $70.
I applaud and agree with the two prior reviews, which say what I might have said. This dream/
illusion book offers good perspectives and complements my understanding of the big BG. Actually,
this Dream book adds a great deal; skim the Look Inside features for good, clarifying aspects.
