Leslie Ellis is adept at bridging the divide between the science of dreams and the practical techniques of working with dreams. In her recounting of her own dreams she acts as a wonderful exemplar demystifying the process from the therapist-as-client perspective. The discussion of nightmares is particularly beneficial. Understanding how to respond to someone dealing with that special nocturnal trauma is a necessary task. There are challenges and opportunities which can produce a pivotal moment in the course of a therapy.
