Books by Dr. Gayle Delaney

Gayle Delaney, PHD, Co-Founder and Founding President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and for 20 years, the Co-Director with Loma K. Flowers, MD of the Delaney & Flowers Dream and Consultation Center in San Francisco Gayle has spent her entire 50-year career laser-focused on modernizing dream interpretation and dream incubation with methodical, transparent Interview techniques aimed at enhancing creativity and problem-solving in the real world.

Gayle’s books are practical guides illustrating, from her decades of client dream interviews, how to connect the dreamer’s unique imagery to the particular situations in her unique life by asking carefully honed questions instead of making interpretations… AND without suggesting any per-fabricated interpretations from “dream experts!” Each of Gayle’s books is a CHALLENGE to discover actionable insights that help us recognize and resolve specific issues.

In Your Dreams

by Dr. Gayle Delaney

“At last, an intelligent “dream dictionary” by an internationally renowned dream expert who has battled the dictionary approach to dream interpretation for 50 years. Gayle provides tools that you can personalize to uncover the unique meaning in ‘your’ dream images and themes.” My Publisher’s description.

I want to tell you more! You’ve probably heard the complaint that “If you tell your dream to five different interpreters, you will get five different interpretations!” Well, that is true if the interpreters fail to ask the dreamer key descriptive questions BEFORE asking for, or worse, suggesting connections with waking life!

Sensual Dreaming

by Dr. Gayle Delaney

We live in what is still a puritanic 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 Dreams

by Dr. Gayle Delaney

This book is the original hardback version of the paperback that the publisher decided without consulting me about changing the title, Sensual Dreaming, I protested the dismissal of the better, more direct Title of Sexual Dreams., but as noted before, our culture is dangerously Puritanic in discouraging open discussion about things sexual. The most glaring danger, or I should say, hazard, being our failure, in the vast majority of cases, to discover and stop the sexual abuse suffered in life-long silence and pain by our own children, our sisters and brothers, our parents, and the children in our schools.
