For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction. (Job 33:14-16)

From Genesis through today, the secrets told to us by God through dreams have been a constant source of study and amazement. In this latest effort, Jim Driscoll and Zach Mapes have crated a framework for approaching dream interpretation that combines an academic discipline with spiritual understanding which results in an explosive insight into this ancient form of communication. Join them as they take you through the process that has been honed over the course of hundreds of thousands of dream interpretations.
