Praise for this book

“Practical exercises, clear explanations of scientific research in brain neuroplasticity and polyvagal theory, and brief explorations of the dreamwork and spiritual practices of different cultures broaden its relevance and appeal. Ancestral Dreaming is an engaging self-help guide to healing generational wounds and trauma through dreamwork.”
— Foreword Reviews
“I was particularly excited to learn about Linda Schiller's spiritual approach to explore ancestors' dreams because she incorporates the wisdom of the body to explore further layers of meaning.”
— Mag. Johanna Vedral, lecturer at Sigmund Freud University, psychologist, and author of Collage Dream Writing
“Our dreams are one of the most potent ways to receive [our ancestors'] messages so we can complete their unfinished business, be strengthened by their wisdom, and grow our collective soul.”
— Dr. Kelly Sullivan Walden, author of Dreamifesting and host of The Kelly Walden Show

Occult literature desk
Schiller provides a compassionate framework for ancestral dreamwork, making complex generational concepts accessible through practical exercises. However, readers seeking rigorous academic anthropology or strict scientific validation may find the esoteric premises unconvincing. Those who prefer purely clinical psychological approaches without spiritual or energetic components might feel disconnected from the 'ancestral wisdom' narrative. It is best suited for those already open to metaphysical interpretations of family dynamics and dream symbolism.
