Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On

About this book

"The first half of the book, Luke's autobiography, begins with her earliest recollections and ends at the age of seventy. She weaves together dreams and symbolic images from her inner life with personal and world events, bringing a clear, unsentimental honesty and vibrant insight to all that she recounts.". "Luke's diaries, forming the second half of the book, are selections from fifty-four volumes of journals written during her final years. They further explore the mythic images and stories of her life's dream work. She focuses her attention on numinous realms of the psyche, expanding upon the themes of her autobiography: the relationships of masculine and feminine natures, the liberation of the Self from the bonds of the ego, and the alchemical mystery of becoming who we truly are."--BOOK JACKET.
