The Invisible Garment: 30 Spiritual Principles That Weave the Fabric of Human Life
Dr. Connie Kaplan, who holds Master’s degrees in Communications and Psychology and a Doctorate of Ministry, is the author of The Woman’s Book of Dreams (Beyond Words, 1999) and Dreams are Letters from the Soul (Random House/Harmony, 2002). Acclaimed as manifestos for dreamers, these books have made Kaplan instrumental in the rapidly growing international phenomenon, dream circles. Called the "red tents" of the twenty-first century, dream circles are intimate gatherings where dreamers come together, listen deeply to one another’s dreams, and unveil the spiritual wisdom encoded therein.For 13 years in talks and seminars across the country, Kaplan has revolutionized traditional views of dreaming by teaching that dreams are a hotline to deep spiritual connection. The ultimate dream guide, Kaplan has aided many in understanding these nocturnal messages from the soul.Connie began her own dream-time journey in 1986 when she was struck with a mysterious illness that sent her to bed for over 18 months, ending a successful career in television production. During the 15 hours a day she slept, dream teachers more fascinating than any Hollywood characters came to her and taught her the secrets of dreaming as a spiritual practice.Kaplan is neither a guru nor a channel. She is simply a powerful and popular spiritual guide whose revolutionary information does not point toward the teacher, but rather toward the unique and genuine wisdom of the student.She lives in Santa Monica, California with her husband and children, and leads a waking life that is as ordinary as her sleeping life is extraordinary.
