    4 out of 5 stars Both delightful & thoughtful   October 2, 2007
    William Timothy Lukeman
    Here's an unexpected treat in the fields of both dreams & pop culture, demonstrating how a currently popular icon becomes the vessel for many archetypal images. Kay Turner's introduction is succinct but on target: in a world where traditional spiritual & mythic images have lost much of their power for so many people, new ones arise to fulfill the same function. And why not a figure like Madonna, who embodies sexuality, creativity, individuality, and the spiritual through her songs & ever-changing public persona? Both the dreams & the collages provide a multi-faceted look at this performer & her place in contemporary culture.

    A book like this gives us a fascinating & revealing glimpse into the Unconscious, telling us quite a lot about our own hidden needs & desires & aspirations. It would be equally interesting to see similar collections of dreams, whether about other popular icons, or major events of the day. Meanwhile, this remains a charming volume, filled with life & humor, and more than a little serious food for thought. Recommended!

    Who hasn't dreamed of Madonna?

    This book is comprised of first-person accounts of women's dreams involving Madonna. It's beautifully bound and printed and provides a fascinatingly multidimensional glimpse into Madonna's effect on the American female subsconscious. The essay that begins the book is fairly silly, an attempt to define the Madonna phenomenon in intellectual terms, but the dreams and collages make the book a necessity for the collection of any devotee.


    3 out of 5 stars Theater of the Absurd   July 4, 2000
    3 out of 4 found this review helpful

    This book is a wacky little collection of women's dreams of Madonna and some very odd collages featuring photos of Madonna mish-moshed together with drawings, artwork, etc... The text wasn't all that interesting(ya just gotta wonder- are there really THAT many people out there dreaming of Madonna every night? ). It was really the collages, with their little oddities and quirkiness that made me look at the book more than once. If you are a die-hard Madonna fan and absolutely HAVE to have every item ever made about Madonna, then you should get this book--if only to say that you own it in your collection. Otherwise, I wouldn't reccommend it to the average book consumer.

    As soon as I saw this book, I knew I had to have it. It's an compelling and interesting account of women's bizarre, erotic, funny and wacky dreams about Madonna, a seemingly larger than life celebrity, who has forced her way into the subconcious of all who she has touched. Recommened for Madonna fans, and those who enjoy a laugh, or need to just be sastisfied in anyway
