Dreaming Through Darkness

Shine Light into the Shadow to Live the Life of Your Dreams

By: Charlie Morley

Narrated by: Charlie Morley

Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's Summary

The Shadow is the part of us made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears, and our wounds, but also our divine spirit, our blinding beauty, and our hidden talents. The Shadow is not bad - in fact it is the source of our creativity and power - but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached. Using practical exercises sourced from lucid dreaming and dream-work, Tibetan Buddhism, and mindfulness meditation, this audiobook explores how to:

• Transform the dark and light shadow side
• Meet the shadow through your dreams
• Unlock your creativity
• Transform nightmares through lucid dreaming
• Manifest your hidden potential
• Make friends with fear and anxiety
• Decrease stress through mindfulness of dream and sleep

This audiobook will show you how to fearlessly embrace your shadow side in both your dreams and daily life, thereby manifesting the awakened power of your full potential.

Terrible... like an elementary school book report

I'm doing something here I have never done before: writing a review based on the first few chapters. Because they are so awful I'm not sure I can finish it.

Here's the style: Tell you what he's going to tell you -- several times, with innumerable quotes that demonstrate nothing -- and move on. It's conceivable that later chapters actually deliver something, and I will try to hold on to see. But so far, I've listened to a punch of nothing, padded with quotes. It's not even well done -- it isn't interesting, or funny, just... tedious.

When I bought it (earlier today) Audible told me the rating was 4.3. Now I'm seeing 4. I hope to make it drop a little. But I cannot imagine I will end up thinking it was worth it. Ugh.

Shining a Light on Shadow Work.

Life Changing! A wonderful book & great audible performance in embracing your Shadow, the scary, ugly, dark, disturbing aspect of your personality which you keep hidden from everyone including yourself. From real-world exercises to lucid dream exercises you will learn how you can become friends with the darker aspects of yourself and become empowered by embracing and accepting the shadow aspect of your personality.

Great Listening

I got a lot of good insights from the material hear. I could never remember my dreams and now can. Still trying to learn lucid dreaming .

10/10 Book

This book is a powerful way to truly meet yourself. Beautifully read. Feels like you are listening to a podcast instead of an audiobook.

I Agree With The Author

I agree with the author. He was not ready to write this book at the time. Maybe 10yrs (or whenever) from when he wrote it, but not then. You can tell he wasn't over being a sexual deviant (as he said) and probably dropped hints to attract readers. It's also hella European white wished. Don't expect any actual ancient ...

Dreaming through darkness

This is a beautiful book with lots of exercises and practices I feel so grateful ❤️

Great Book learned a lot about my dreams & shadow

I have very vivid dreams. I never thought to look at them as my shadow. I've been doing shadow work and taking my dreams literal. I loved the book.

Really Useful Book

I have recommended this book to more people than perhaps any I've read. Charlie takes you on a journey into the shadow and, through sharing his own journey, makes this book less of an instruction manual and more of an inclusive practice-based approach anyone can do. If you're a human, you can grow through doing shadow work. I was always interested and somewhat afraid of my own shadow but this book gave me a sense of excitement and anticipation as I went through the exercises. I can honestly say this book has helped me enormously. The book is well researched and full of great insights. Along with other practices I do, it has taken me to a much deeper place of self-acceptance and integration - a place I always wanted to reach in my life. I'm also into dreamwork so the recognising shadow aspects in dreams part I found really useful alongside the exercises. I have integrated this practice into my every day. Being who you are is nothing to be ashamed, embarrassed or afraid of, and if you take on the exercises in this book you may well be on the road to self-acceptance and a new experience of life.

Don't buy this book

I bought this mistakenly thinking it will give me an insight into lucid dreaming. I am incredibly disappointed, I got no insight into this at all. Writing down dreams after we wake up and recollecting them can give an insight into what we have been dreaming about but not enable us to develop lucid dreaming (where we may be able to recognise and even alter the actual outcome of our dream, during the dream). This book is a pop-psychology work about the unconscious (as a psychoanalyst might refer to this aspect of ourselves) but Charlie Morley is encouraging us to explore this profound aspect of self in a superficial way. Simply with the aid of his book, without a qualified professional to unearth and discuss the disturbing aspects of ourself that we may begin to touch on through insights provided by our dreams. This is like sending the reader or listener up a dangerous mountain alone, with a map but with no experienced guide - just a book on mountaneering.

Brilliant

Love this book. I am a big fan of Charlie and highly recommend this book to everyone. You won't regret it!

Thank you Charlie

I love you, you're beautiful and I'm going to listen again straight away. I've listened i all your audibles and they've helped a lot - thank you, thank you. Amitifu

Life changing.

So I haven't finished this book yet but Charlie's work is Amazing thank you Charlie! I first listening to Dreams of Awakening then the shorter version and now this one. I have been looking for a more effective and more to the point way of healing and integration and here I have found it. From the start I have been recalling my dreams pretty much every night, I have had two lucid occurances and last night I Dreamt about my shadow!
It wasn't a lucid dream but wow do I feel lighter. I Dreamt I was talking to someone and they told me about vomiting up the darkness so I asked if they could help me do so, as soon as they touched me I started violently vomiting, I felt something come up from my stomach and when It got to my throat I turned into a slimy, hunched back, lizard creature who was angry, tried to bad mouth people, and scare my friends away, although I was my shadow at this point I felt a great deal of acceptance for this part of me to express itself how ever it liked and the people around me just looked with content and acceptance to.
The morning after this in my meditation I felt like I touched a state of mind I hadn't experienced before. I felt so tranquil, calm, light and content. Physically I feel so too. I know this path is for me and I'm so glad I've discovered a direct line to the parts of me I have berried. 🙏 Amazing.

A must for all shadow work!

Great narrator. Well thought out structure. I listened to hours of it in one go because it was so intriguing. Awesome book

I loved this book...

Fantastic book to listen to, and worked really well as an audiobook, as it had several guided meditations. I'll be listening to this one over and over again for insight and inspiration. Thank you Charlie.

Pop self help speech

I find the content and the manner in which is present to be irritating,overly eager to show off and too enthusiastic ,big on promise but mediocre in delivery and heavy on lecturing . I will not associate authenticity (which I expected when choosing a book on the shadow work )with this particular book,more of a pop self help . I could not finish the book. Name and quotes dropped often repeat mentioning in a disguised attempt to promote retreats and workshops to upsell
