The River of Dreams

About the Book

The River of Dreams is the blending of two wonderful experiences for you, the reader. One is the storytelling of the author’s life, the other is the opportunity to learn new skills and gain new tools for making sense of your own life.

The River of Dreams shares the author’s journey that explores the study and practice of several religions and spiritual beliefs, from Christianity to Judaism, Native American traditions and Eastern philosophy; a life that transformed the author from a medical scientist into an expert in alternative healing modalities.

Barbara shares her discoveries in dream work, of dreams as precious offerings of information, insight and guidance from one’s own intuition and wisdom. Her story offers you inspiration and hope, showing you how she has transformed “ordinary” experiences into the opportunity to live an extraordinary life, and guides you in how to do the same. The River of Dreams offers meditation exercises, questions for contemplation, and real-life applications to assist you in using the material on your own quest for deeper self-discovery and understanding.

About the Author

Barbara Ann Smith is a master at the art of dream healing and self-discovery and has an avid following as a Self-Discovery and Awareness Coach. Barbara’s career started as a licensed medical technician working in the areas of hematology and chemistry. As she studied, she began to expand her scientific training into the practice of body, mind and spirit healing modalities. Her research into alternative fields has led her all over the world—from the mountains of the Western United States, to the temples of Greece, to the Himalayas of Asia. She has studied with international masters in meditation and healing techniques and advanced Dream Tending, just to name a few. Barbara came to realize that the world had lost touch with the art of dreaming and the understanding of its powerful ability to guide us. Her own dream work became her passion and took her into deep research of dreamtime. She delved into the mystery of the worlds beyond our waking limitations and synthesized all she has learned into a practice that the common person can apply in their every day life to make sense of dreams, signs, symbols and metaphors. All of this seeking has culminated in her powerful findings, now to be shared in The River of Dreams.

Barbara works with clients in self-discovery and conscious awareness, through dreams and spiritual guidance.  Since she has discovered that experience is the best teacher, we must experience life and live our dreams. Barbara provides the tools for making sense of the journey.
