| | Announcing the Release of: APPOINTMENT WITH THE WISE OLD DOG: A Bridge to the Transformative Power of Dreams David Blum |
| | | Transformative Power of Dreams,” provides the necessary, comprehensive complement to his
highly regarded 1998 documentary. In contrast to the DVD, this book contains the foundational
work comprised of forty-three dream paintings and commentaries derived from a lifetime of
numinous archetypal dreams—his thirty-five-year inner journey.
The primary sources of David’s Blum’s commentaries, his diaries and dream journals, date from
his seventeenth to his sixty-fourth year. This crucible into which he poured his most intimate
confessions contains the living spontaneity of his original experiences remarkably intact. By reentering the dream state and allowing the images to speak to him, Blum gently leads the reader
into his world of color, form, music and the mapping of his soul.
The language, unhampered by jargon or weighty terminology, always remains accessible to the
lay reader drawn to inner transformation. This work resonates with the musician, the artist, the
theologian, the psychologist and the patient — whether facing a terminal illness or not. It offers
the rare potential to communicate our shared capacity to explore multiple levels of meaning,
acting as a springboard into one’s own inner experience. Anyone interested in the power of
dreams, the transformative effect of symbols and archetypes, or faced with any existential crisis
will find this book inspirational.

| | “The unique paintings David Blum created throughout his life, and increasingly during his battle with cancer, are a window into his spiritual journey.
The Wise Old Dog, who came to David in dreams, was his guide and comfort.
Through these images and David's insightful commentary, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit, the power of art to help us understand life, and the role creativity can play in healing and transcendence.”
