Dream A Little Dream Indeed...

Awe inspiring. That is my basic review for the film, "Dream A Little Dream". Now, here is my review for a soundtrack that is, much like its film counterpart, often over-looked and under-appreciated. The film stars our boys Corey Feldman and Corey Heim, who were, in my opinion, two of the best teen actors of the 1980's. I saw this film about a year after it came out, and the soundtrack is, in part, what attracted me to this film. My favorite song in the movie... Well, I have no real favorite, but a few high ranking pieces would have to be "Rock On", "Dreams Come True", and "Where is She" (a title which, sadly, is not included on the soundtrack, and as far as I know, was never released on CD. The artists behind the song were Blue Future). The "Dream A Little Dream" rock themes were extremely nice to hear, and I love both variations. This film is a true gem, as is the soundtrack. If anyone who loved this film reads this, take my advice and buy this soundtrack. (Hey, this is coming from a guy who listens to the Offspring and the occasional Rob Zombie. Trust me when I say that ANYONE can enjoy the music of "Dream A Little Dream, young and old alike)

Everyone has dreams. Not just the bigger house, nicer car dreams, or fancier clothes dreams, but deep desires, placed within the heart by God Himself. While both men and women go through life never realizing their dreams, author Sharon Jaynes speaks specifically to women in her book, THE 5 DREAMS OF EVERY WOMAN...AND HOW GOD WANTS TO FULFILL THEM. Jaynes, an international inspirational speaker and Bible teacher for ladies' conferences and events, speaks to women about realizing and fulfilling our deepest longings and desires. Based on lots of research and personal testimony, Jaynes has come up with the top five dreams of most women. They are:

*To have a daddy who loves me
*To be a bride
*To be a mommy
*To be beautiful
*To have a best friend
The first section covers those childhood dreams listed above. As little girls, most of us deeply longed for these things. We twirled our dresses for our daddies. We played "house" and were "mommy" to our baby dolls. We spent hours in front of the mirror experimenting with makeup and hairstyles. We hopped from friend to friend, trying to find that one girl we could bond with, who totally "got" us.

And years later, as women, most of us can name at least two dreams on that list we still long for today. Some women may find themselves getting defensive about one of these "common" dreams. Perhaps there are women who have never dreamed about becoming a mother. Of course, as with everything, there are going to be exceptions, but these are the five most common dreams of women around the world.

Section two reminds us of three women from the Bible who had dreams. First, there is Sarah, who interfered with God's dreams by taking matters into her own hands and attempting to "force" the family God promised to her and Abraham. Then we meet Naomi, a woman who forgot her dreams and blamed God for her afflictions instead of giving thanks for the things she had. And finally, we meet Esther, who fulfilled God's dreams for her life when she trusted that God would use her to accomplish His purpose.

The third section deals with three situations that can occur when life collides with our dreams. Shattered Dreams most often cause us to wallow in our pain and give up on our dreams altogether. Restored Dreams are those we thought were unattainable or that we may have forgotten about, but later in life are brought back to life. And Interrupted Dreams are the longings we must put aside for a time and wait for God's go-ahead.

The final section is a boost of encouragement. These last chapters dare women to dream again. Using the acronym D-R-E-A-M, Jaynes provides tips not only to discover what our dreams are, but ways to bring those dreams to fruition.

Overall, THE 5 DREAMS OF EVERY WOMAN...AND HOW GOD WANTS TO FULFILL THEM is extremely motivational. The scriptures included, along with the author's personal accounts and the stories from women around the world, encourage women to discover the desires God has placed in their hearts. There is something so inspirational about sharing in the dreams, struggles and victories of other women. The writing style is conversational, making it clear why Jaynes is a sought-after speaker. Also included is a chapter-by-chapter discussion guide that would be wonderful for women's bible study groups. There are additional scriptures to dig into and thought-provoking questions for personal consideration.

Yes, every one of us has dreams. The question this book ultimately asks is whether we're going to reach for the stars or sit back and let those dreams pass us by. As the author says in the opening of the book, "Life may not have turned out as you had hoped or expected, but it can be better than you've ever imagined."

I love finding stories with a message, or rather they love finding me. This story touched my heart so deeply, for we all have had times we wished that were not susceptible to change, but that is just what life is all about, about letting go and trusting the moments we have been given. Being thankful for all the gifts around us. Dreaming is one of those gifts....

"A clouded dream on an earthly night/Hangs upon the crescent moon/A voiceless song in an ageless light/Sings at the coming dawn..."

Listening to a Loreena McKennit album is like being slowly enveloped in a dream of medieval castles, incense-heavy air, and distant exotic lands full of shadows and beauty. "The Mask and the Mirror" is a prime example of McKennit's hauntingly ye-olde music, with lush instrumentation and bittersweet vocals -- not to mention some truly lovely songs.

It starts with the haunting "Mystic's Dream," a love song that is soaked in a dreamlike atmosphere and the sound of monks chanting wordlessly in the background It's followed by the more upbeat but grisly ballad "The Bonny Swans," the vaguely erotic-sounding "The Dark Night of the Soul" is set to lots of floaty string melodies, and the dancey "Marrakesh Night Market" adds a peppy Middle-Eastern flavor to the album ("Would you like my mask/Would you like my mirror?... you can look at yourself, you can look at each other/you can look at the face, the face of your god!").

A more contemplative air enters the album in its second half -- "Full Circle" is a minimalist ballad that mourns and marvels at the sound of worship ("in your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?") while "Santiago" is a sprightly Spanish-flavored instrumental with McKennit only making "la la" noises. She dips briefly into the upliftingly lovely "C&eacute; H&eacute; Mise Le Ulaingt?/The Two Trees,"  and ends on a suitably bittersweet note -- a somnolent recitation of "Prospero's Speech."

Loreena McKennit has a magical touch with music -- she can wrap you in velvety dreams, walk you through a candelit medieval cathedral, dance you through a spice-filled Middle-Eastern market and rock you to sleep in an ivy-filled ruin. "The Mask and the Mirror" does all these things and more, and it's honestly hard to find a single false note in the entire exquisite album.

It's also impossible to find a modern pop sensibility in the whole thing -- the music is a lush tapestry of lutes, drums, an aching sweep of violin, guitar, some truly beautiful harp, and a dark swathe of bittersweet piano in "C&eacute; H&eacute; Mise Le Ulaingt?/The Two Trees." While the songs can be upbeat -- such as "Santiago" and "The Bonny Swans" -- the overall atmosphere is pretty mellow and subdued. Sometimes it's redolent with spiritual intensity, and sometimes it's just sad.

Apparently her visits to Spain and Morocco flavored the lyrics for these songs, there's definitely Spanish, Celtic and Arabian atmosphere; in addition, the songs are grounded in some classic literature, derived from Shakespeare, Yeats, and St. John of the Cross. And her strong, sweetly rich voice always sounds slightly sad, as she drifts through lyrics filled with vivid, striking images ("A painting hangs on an ivy wall/Nestled in the emerrald moss... A clouded dream on an earthly night/Hangs upon the crescent moon").

"The Mask and the Mirror is a vibrant, almost painfully lovely album that drips with medieval-ish splendor and lots of Spanish/Celtic/Middle-Eastern beauty. Utterly haunting.

What is your dream? Is it only a dream or could it be a possibility? Have you ever taken steps to pursue it? Randal Smalls will encourage you to answer those questions, then step out in faith toward your hopes and dreams. He advises us that it is not a full speed ahead lifestyle change, but rather a series of small steps. The small steps to a big ending can be covered with a plan, patience, and a great deal of prayer. With God's help we can find the path He made for us to walk and go with Him toward the ultimate best. Mr. Smalls encourages and inspires us to break old habits that hold us back (the blockers) and embrace new ways (the builders) to help us on our way. Following his guidance we can let go of the pain of our past, revel in the now, and walk toward an exciting and fulfilling future. Give particular attention to his words on warding off fear and anxiety, pushing them aside in order to find peace and self worth. This book is a great tool toward making each day of your life better than the one before.
I received this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion.

An all together happy story ......One I'm hoping to have myself

This book reminds me of my youth...when the simple turn of a page would invoke the most vivid and lucid day dreams.  A smile crept over my face as I turned page after page of the most beautiful illustrations I'd ever scene in a children's book and felt my inner-child's imagination spark back to life.  Song and Juniper's rolling hills, lush jungles, and curtained waterfalls are the very places I visited while playing in my backyard as a child.  I felt a tug on my heartstrings with the thought of someday reading it to my children because this miraculously delightful book takes me back to the nights my mom read "Where the Wildthings Are" before tucking me in at night.  I have no doubts in my mind that the pages of Song and Juniper will be withered and worn by the time my unborn children outgrow the books of day dreams and fascination, and start reading for themselves Hardy Boys books and Stephen King novels.

First-time author Sharon Hajj creates a fun fantasy world where dreams are more important than, well, just about anything. When they're stolen by an evil ruler, siblings Zula and Mala Blackburn must band together to get them back. With a little help from their faeries, of course. A great book to get lost in. With a lesson at the end. We need to protect our dreams and not push so hard if we're not sure what they are. Pick up this book for your kids or for yourself. The charming illustrations add to the appeal.
