The book describes the dreams of dying patients and other people close to death, and interprets them in the light of Jungian archetypes of aging and death, the symbolism of ancient Egyptian rituals, Western alchemical traditions, Hypnos and Thanatos, the God of sleep and the god of death, Sleep as a little death, death as an eternal sleep. Marie-Louise von Franz's last book, On Dreams and Death, written shortly before her own death, represents a unique journey into the depths and allows you to take a completely different look at the world of dreams.
