She Rises While It Is Still Night is titled for a verse in the biblical book of Proverbs, following a mystical tradition that interprets "She" as Soul, the source of inner light that emerges from darkness. The book explores dreaming as a primary mode of access to that spiritual light, by interweaving two frameworks: a typology developed by her teacher in dreaming, Connie Kaplan, and a cosmology known as the Four Worlds, developed by Jewish mystics - thus the subtitle, Dreaming in the Four Worlds of Kabbalah.
Using her own dreams as well as those she has heard from others, the author retells dreams that illustrate the Four Worlds and shows how they bring guidance, teaching, healing, and a broader perspective on life. She emphasizes the significance of dream language as well as its imagery, showing how dreams may wax poetic or point out our foibles, bring joy and laughter or evoke poignant sadness, all the while leading us to a deeper connection with soul.
An appendix discusses briefly the ancient roots of commentary on dreams in the Jewish tradition, and touches on other modes of dream interpretation that have influenced the author. Also included is a description of the kind of group work that has nourished the author's development in dreaming.
