SEXUAL DREAMS: Why We Have Them, What They Mean

(in paper same book, new title) SENSUAL DREAMING: How to Understand and Interpret the Erotic Content of Your Dreams

We live in what is still a puritanical culture. Fear and embarrassment keep us from talking about and learning about human sexuality from well-informed people. We suffer greatly from our prudishness, often without realizing it. Sexual harms, abuse within families, as well as rampant transmission of STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) thrive in the Dark Closets where we hide our cries of anguish, or desire, or fear. Where does sexual abuse of children thrive? In dark, hidden closets in a world where young children are not taught about it, where families keep secrets, few dare inquire and then tell the truth when they suspect abuse in a family.

This book sheds an unabashed light on how we can overcome some of this awkwardness, embarrassment, and shame. Beyond the darkness of sexuality, there are unexpected benefits and happiness. We can use our sexual dreams to understand our sexual issues, injuries, and those unnecessary inhibitions. Our healthy sexual dreams enrich our lives, our ZEST, our humor, and our relationships. My publisher (again without forewarning me) changed the title because “The Americans , even the young ones, felt embarrassed to buy and perhaps have co-workers see that they were reading a book on sex! The Sexual Dreams title was just “Too In Your Face!”
