Ancestral Dreaming by Linda Schiller is a rare combination of scholarship and fascinating insight about generational trauma gained from personal experience and therapeutic practice. Only a handful of people in the world can speak with such authority about this subject. Everyone seeking answers to generational trauma should look here first.

As someone who regularly dreams of deceased relatives, I was particularly excited to learn about Linda Schiller’s spiritual approach to explore ancestors’ dreams, because she incorporates the wisdom of the body to explore further layers of meaning. Thank you for this enlightening book!

Ancestral dreaming is filled with examples of ancestral dreams that are both healing and magical experiences, and it normalizes this process. She grounds the material by documenting the literature on ancestral dreaming, including the link between dreaming and intergenerational trauma. Mainly, however, it’s a book about our connection, through dreams, with our recent and distant past. This is most profoundly illustrated through the many stories Schiller shares about the connections dreamers have made with ancestors — so that you can witness for yourself the amazing variety of ways that they speak to us through our dreams. Highly recommended.
