The telephone rings. It is a grammar school friend you have not heard from in 30 years, but just now, while going through a box of old photographs, you came across his picture. Is this coincidence, or do such events have deeper significance? This engaging and penetrating book opens readers to the world of meaningful coincidences. Weaving ancient insights with contemporary teachings on sacred psychology, astrology, and subtle energy. Grasse shows readers how to understand the deeper meaning of the symbols and synchronicities of their everyday lives.

From the Author

What I set out to achieve with this book:
THE WAKING DREAM is an exploration of the larger worldview implied by "synchronicity," and its broader message in our lives. Presented is a comprehensive survey of traditional views toward coincidence and symbolism throughout history, the teachings of "sacred science," the role of destiny and divination in everyday experience, and the implications of synchronicity for modern science. Ultimately, I suggest that the deeper investigation of "meaningful coincidence" reveals nothing less than a world suffused with synchronicity, with correspondences and archetypal resonance of many types. In the words of William Irwin Thompson, we are indeed like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, unaware of the cosmic drama unfolding before our eyes. Synchronicity is thus a door into a completely different understanding of both ourselves and the universe we inhabit.
