Book Description
In The Dream Seekers, Lee Irwin demonstrates the central importance of visionary dreams as sources of empowerment and innovation in Plains Indian religion. Irwin draws on 350 visionary dreams from published and unpublished sources that span 150 years to describe the shared features of cosmology for twenty-three groups of Plains Indians. This comprehensive work is not a recital but an understandable exploration of the religious world of Plains Indians. The different means of acquiring visions that are described include the spontaneous vision experience common among Plains Indian women and means such as stress, illness, social conflict, and mourning used by both men and women to obtain visions. Irwin describes the various stages of the structured male vision quest as well as the central issues of unsuccessful or abandoned quests, threshold experiences during a vision, and the means by which religious empowerment is attained and transferred.

Book Description
During the summer months, most parents living in large cities send their kids to camps or summer school. Not Wilson’s parents. For some strange reason, every summer, they send him and his little brother down South to spend time with their Grandmother, an elderly Native American woman living in a small house on the edge of a small town. No one has ever told Wilson the reason his parents continuously send the two boys there. The only thing Wilson knows is that while he's there he's forced to take care of his 100-year-old Great Grandmother. She’s a strange woman that refuses to interact with the public and spends all her days sitting alone, staring into the dark forest at the edge of the backyard. One day when Wilson’s Great Grandmother dies, she leaves him a terrifying gift; one that’s so powerful it alters the way he views the world – and the way the world views him. There are some things parents shouldn't hide from their children.

Book Description
Dreams are a great source of healing. Often they will exaggerate to get your attention.This book is an attempt to help people realize the importance of dreams in our daily lives.When I lost my beloved husband of 42 years, grief took on an aspect I did not imagine. I had grieved more for my dogs than for human beings. My husband's walking on left me staggering in unexpected ways, ways in which I could not have prepared myself. It was as if the world had blown up and me with it. The pieces are still falling out of the sky. And yet, I have learned so much in the two years of sorrow. I have lost, but I have also gained.Once again a dream gave me strength to go on.Perhaps you have a question you would like to have answered. The answers can come at any time, in many ways. The answer just peeks out at you from a book, a movie, from a conversation, from Nature or from Life itself. The answers will come. The thing to do is to stay tuned in for three or four days. People often have dreams that help point the way. Some dreamed an answer.Dreams have helped me make decisions, make moves, act on things I wanted to do but kept putting off. Dreams can be real lifesavers. With this book, I wish you... Happy Dreaming!And then there are the Dreamers among us who have dreams, visions and hallucinations thrust upon them by the Universe. It is these people for whom I have written this book.

Book Description
Contentment and Suffering, a psychocultural ethnography of the Toraja wet-rice farmers of Indonesia, provides a rich portrait of Torajan life and contributes to debates on the relationship between culture and individual psychology. Hollan and Wellenkamp describe the central aspects of Torajan personal experience -emotion, identity, and sense of self- and a variety of fascinating cultural practices, including possession trance, kickfights, elaborate mortuary customs, dream interpretation, and buffalo sacrifice. Presenting exceptionally detailed ethnographic data through a person-centered perspective and extensive use of open-ended interviews, Contentment and Suffering engagingly expresses how the Toraja understand their lives.
