★★★★★This is a beautifully written journal. I have read so many books and articles about the lunar cycle, but they all seem to repeat the same things in the same way and advocate the same quite rigid practices. This is a real breath of fresh air. Michael’s writing focuses on developing your own personal connection. I actually feel excited about trying the practices he describes rather than a pressure to ‘perform’. I have already ordered another of his books. Highly recommended. have only just started reading and using this book but it contains lots of information about the Moon and her cycles. I think I am going to find this journal very rewarding.

The Foliate Way Dream Journal

A place for the journeys of the night

Some dreams disappear with the morning light. Others leave behind a feeling, an image or a question that stays with us throughout the day.

The Foliate Way Dream Journal offers a place to gather those fragments before they fade, and to explore them in your own time.

With 200 unlined pages for writing and drawing, there is room for a few hurried words beside the bed, a detailed account of a vivid dream, or a sketch of a place you cannot quite describe. You do not need to fill a page, remember every detail or record something every morning. Begin with whatever remains.

Alongside this open space, introductory guidance explores dream recall, personal reflection, lucid dreaming and astral journeying. In keeping with The Foliate Way, the emphasis is on developing your own relationship with these experiences, allowing their meaning to emerge through attention and curiosity.

A recurring woodland, an unfamiliar doorway, a familiar voice: what matters is what these things awaken in you. As your journal grows, you may begin to notice patterns, returning places and connections with your waking life.

Whether you are beginning to remember your dreams or have kept a dream journal for years, this is a companion you can return to each evening and morning—and begin afresh when its pages are full.

Keep it beside your bed. Leave room for wonder. See what the night brings.
