lets not forget the artist!

I loved that Art that goes with this book. Mystical and subtle, they really take you to an other world altered state! Margot is a professional artist , not a book illustrator, so her paintings do not fall into the trap of overexplaining the author. I believe she did them independently of the author.
The ideas and dream-scape art in this book are intriquing.

This book is about animals that come to us in dreams. Hillman encourages us not to turn them into "dream symbols" because in so doing we lose the animal. Instead we should recognize it as real, as choosing to come to us from the great unconscious. He suggests that we honor the animal for being present by asking it why it appeared in the dream. "What is the animal offering you by coming into your life in the dream?" Through exploration of this idea, Hillman feels we can regain our kinship with animals. He offers the exciting idea that animals are trying to communicate with us in order to stop their exploitation and extinction. The ideas offered in this book are of interest to anyone who appreciates and respects life in this time when many species are driven to the brink of survival. The artwork is hauntingly beautiful.
