Grigor Fedan, Dream Maker: A Mystical Tale Review

Overall Rating

It's a highly entertaining novel that makes you think, and teaches deep spiritual lessons. It shows what meditation is really like, and Agape, the ancient technique used for healing. This is also a very good historical novel.

Characters from one life become someone else. That's confusing at times.

Grigor Fedan, Dream Maker: A Mystical Tale - A depressed man is shown a past life in a dream. He finds who he was back in Arthurian times, and the reason for his depression. He's taught meditation as means to gain the perspective he needs for understanding, and in the process he finds what he calls "the Other", God, or Spirit. (Or higher self? Isn't all the same?).

It's an engaging tale and very interesting tale. We see the character change, he grows into a peaceful and wise man as a result of his practice and experiences. He learns about love and most importantly, about himself.

It's also a curious love story. I don't want to spoil the book for others, but let's just say that this book also qualifies as a romance novel, albeit a very unusual one.

The novel is sometimes violent, perhaps too graphic; but this seems to be not only an accurate depiction of the times, but also a means for showing the way the universe works and the role that brutality (violence, war, unjustice) plays in our spiritual journey.

The book seems to be historically accurate, showing us what Britain was like during the fall of the Roman Empire. I became interested in the Arthurian Legend, and the author seems to have done his research well, all the latest facts are there. Isca -where the story takes place- is today's Exeter, a good candidate for King Arthur's kingdom. From what I know, the mystical practices are also true to form. I enjoyed learning about Agape.

Without a doubt the story deepened my spiritual practice. I loved it.
