Big Blue and Harold are enjoying this book very much.

Filled with stories, easy to follow exercises, and over 100 pictures, THE DREAMING SOURCE OF CREATIVITYoffers simple and easy ways to creatively enjoy and work on yourself by sensing the “intentional field”, the dreaming source of creativity that is always present within and around you.

You discover how creativity arises from almost nothing and is hidden even in the most mundane parts of life. You will tap your deepest nature using art, music, puppets, movement, relationships and other amazing worlds. The creative methods in this book are also helpful for those therapists who would like to bring a creative and artistic dimension to their work. Process oriented psychology offers a unique, mind-expanding approach to creativity based upon dreams, body experiences, and overall life situations. Using the “intentional field” as the source of creativity is a new and unique perspective in art therapy, acting, and dance.
