A healing path using the power of dreams, theater, poetry, and shamanism  • Shows how psychological realizations can cause true transformation when manifested by concrete poetic acts  • Includes many examples of the surreal but successful actions Jodorowsky has prescribed to those seeking his help  While living in Mexico, Alejandro Jodorowsky became familiar with the colorful and effective cures provided by folk healers. He realized that it is easier for the unconscious to understand the language of dreams than that of rationality. Illness can even be seen as a physical dream that reveals unresolved emotional and psychological problems.
