With elequent prose, Moss describes beautiful Lucrecia de Leo?n, whose dreams were prized by poweful men in Madrid and then recorded during the Spanish Inquisition, as well as the fascinating dream correspondence between Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. Building on the foundation of decades of original scholarship, Moss explores the past yet also reveals lessons that can help us create a better future" --Cover, p. 2.
