Review -  When We Were Gods
by Carol Chapman

When We Were Gods is a candid, true story of one woman’s search for a solution to dieting that led to dream therapy which in turn led to her own sense of spiritual awareness. Dream therapy as a clue to weight -gain problems was news to me to begin with. But for author Carol Chapman it was just the beginning of a long journey into the unknown.

In her early dreams she meets a man, one whose face is not familiar, but who seems to be linked strongly to her. When she later meets him in real life, the attraction holds. They eventually marry and have remained a team for more than 17 years.

But the dreams take her much further than the solution to her weight control. They bring memories of the world of Atlantis and suggest explanations of the connection between Atlantis and the Mayan civilization.

Whatever each of our mind sets may be about these mysteries, one has to be intrigued by the candor and spiritual nature of the writer’s documentation of this fascinating look at dreams and impressed by a writer who had the courage and faith to marry and link her life with the ‘man of her dreams.
