Praise for “Ask the Dream Queen”:

• I found your interpretation to be very thought provoking. Your insight is incredible, and I think you should be working in the psychotherapy field with people (one on one). I am extremely thankful and grateful for your time and your effort in interpreting this dream. Would you accept payment of any sort, or may I make a donation in your name to a charity of your choice?
• Hi Amy -
  Thank you for both interpretations. I feel they really answer some questions I have been having in my waking life and certainly address some things I have been struggling with, especially over the last 5 years. I look forward to sending you more dreams...it felt very therapeutic to read the interpretations! Amazing how the reality of the subconscious world can assist you in the conscious world.
• This is an awesome interpretation Amy. Thanks!
• You truly have a gift.
• I can’t get over how right on you were about everything. My co-workers were impressed, too.
• One of your gifts is weaving waking life and dreams into seamless being. I would say that's a unique and wonderful mission. I really appreciate your taking the time to analyze dreams with such care. 
• Thank you so much Amy George, you have such a wonderful gift for dream interpretation and just plain thinking. Thank you for sharing it with me (in your other dream interpretations, writings and in this one). I've been a big fan of yours for the last year or so I knew you could really tell me more about this one, and you have. I feel like you just gave me a big gift!
• WOW!
• You truly are the Dream Queen.
• WOW... Thank you so much Amy 
• Thank you so much!!  I am seeing things differently since I e-mailed you. I appreciate your help and God Bless You Always!
• I found your words both moving and encouraging and have begun exploring your links and suggestions…I have had a very quick shift in the way I regard my teenage daughter’s experience, which will I am sure be of great benefit to both of us.
• Amy, Thank you for the interpretation!  Very insightful and made me think. I've read some of your other interpretations and they're awesome. Thanks again...I'm sure you'll hear from me again soon! =)
• Amy, I have goose bumps from the interpretation. You peeped into my spirit through my dream. Everything you said was true down to the man at the end of the gate. I love you Amy!!
• Thank you for taking the time to interpret the dream- once again you've come up with an interpretation that links everything together and makes perfect sense! 
• All I can say is WOW! That was fantastic, both this and the previous interpretation have just been wonderful for helping to keep me on track in my work and pushing me forward in my ambition.
• Thank you so much. Both of these interpretations have just been fabulous. You are truly gifted and I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand these dreams.
• Thanks so much for this, Amy.  It really does make sense and puts into words things that I suspected about the dream but couldn't necessarily articulate. 
• Dear Ms. George,
  I've reread for interpretation of my dream again and again. You've shed new light and it is most appreciated. I would like to send an offering of thanks…I read your biography. You are an amazing person and very self-aware. I wish you Godspeed on your journey.
• Thanks Amy!  That was really interesting!  
• Your interpretation of my dream is a great comfort to me. You have spent a considerable amount of your valuable time to help me, a complete stranger. I am impressed with your accuracy in interpreting my dream. You are a unique gift to this world. Thank you. Thank you.
• Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
• I've thought many times if you ever wrote a dream interpretation book, it would be so fantastic. I've read a lot of things on dreaming, but really I consider you a real expert, the best I've ever known- and I mean that with my whole heart.
• Your perspective is one that is very spiritual and I loved it. Thank you so much for your deep and broad-sweeping analysis.
• You have so many beautiful gifts to share with the world…You blog is most wonderful for us who seek the wisdom in our dreams.
• I am crying as I sit here and read the interpretation. You are always a source of inspiration. I am glad I found you....Thank you

The praise below is from Paul Pronovost, editor of the Cape Cod Times, the publication through which “Ask the Dream Queen” runs online:

…the blog is finding an audience. That’s great news. And, frankly, not surprising: Your writing is crisp and your analysis is insightful. We really appreciate your contributions.

Praise for a 3,000 word summary of my life-story, “Evolution of the Peacock”:

• This is fantastically moving and captivating.
  Thank you so much for sharing your story!
  It's inspiring to read about how you've so fully embraced an energy that most men are too scared to even try to glimpse within themselves. I'll be looking for more of your work online.
  You know how to write about it! That was a nice one. A song for you, Amy.
• Thank you soooo much for these words. I've taken a lot of heart from what you've written and while the journey might not be easy, it is so so so so wonderful. your story is beautiful and it has helped me see more of the beauty in my birthing pains as well. Thank you for sharing your lovely soul.
  

For “The Buddhas of New Zealand”:

• Your writing style fascinates me -- so much wisdom, poetically infused, but rarely compromising lucidity. I look forward to reading more of your work!
• I love the images your writing place in my mind, especially in this piece.
• My essay about the future evolution of sex and gender, “Adam Clay, Lazarus Mouse & the Kingdom of Eros” touched a deep psychic nerve, and remained number one on the website’s most-commented list for over a week. It garnered praise as well as attacks, which I deflected adroitly. Reacting to my handling of them, a commenter remarked:
• To me, your level of responsibility in interacting all that presents itself to you is the epitome of maturity. 

For “Adam Clay, Lazarus Mouse & the Kingdom of Eros”

• I just finished reading “Adam Clay, Lazarus Mouse and the Kingdom of Eros.” What struck me first was the range of the tone and imagery, from the near pornographic to the childlike to the scholarly/analytic to the rhapsodic to the apocalyptic to the confessional.
• There is something very alchemical in your embrace of pornographic as well as spiritual images, each presented with the same matter of fact clarity. You have embraced and kissed “The stone that the builder’s rejected”, and have set yourself the task of seeing lead and gold as two points on a spectrum, not as opposites but rather as the different qualities of a single primordial substance.

Other praise:

1. Work as revolutionary as yours has no place in the old world. There is no preexisting slot in the canon for it. We are creating a new world, in which your work will be a classic. The fact that the world today, the old world where the prestige and money is, does not welcome your work only testifies to its originality and importance. Fortunately we have sites like Reality Sandwich that are a bridge between worlds. 
   The publishers who reject your work are correct. There is no market for something that usurps the world like that. People won't pay for real transformation (they'll pay a lot for fake transformation though). No market now, that is. There will be, though, and in part it is your work that will create that market. 
2. After reading your article, I then was intrigued by your language... who was this person who sparked this much controversy? So one afternoon not too long ago, I was at work, burnt out and bored. My boss was out of the office and no one was due to walk in. So I submerged myself in your works, coming up for air with a humble heart and profound respect. How much bravery this warrior soul must have to chose these experiences, this lifetime. With as much as you told, how much you must have left to yourself.

On reactions to my work:

I also notice that as you delve into your experience, it is truly a sinking into the depths... arriving in the underworld, the goddess, madness, etc.  I actually feel like I'm descending as your narrative continues. I feel dizzy, more vulnerable, my breathing changes. This change in location, if you will, is noticeable to me, and I'm glad that I am conscious of what is happening. I can see that those reading your words may feel uncomfortable in the change of altitude, but can't quite put their finger on it. Then, they attack as the Ego/Mind/Whatever you want to call it looks for something to hang the experience on, and your point is the most obvious hook. Perhaps they were unnerved by the descent, as it unmasks, and disables typical defense mechanism. Or perhaps they just don't get it. I'm not pretending that I truly get it, but I do see that you have been somewhere intensely scary, with all of the beauty that can come from such pain, and I wish to honor you and your experience as something sacred.

A rejection from an agent:

“Thanks for sending me the manuscript for ROSE MARY PILLOWWATER. I find dreams and journaling fascinating, but alas, I’m not convinced I could find a publisher for your manuscript. So I’ll have to pass.”

Brian George’s response to the rejection:

…if you had presented the overwhelming experience of your transformation in a more abstract form, you would also have lost, and withheld from the reader, the sense of danger, and primordial power, and psychic chaos, and emerging guidance, and mind-shattering wonder, that were the very essence of your experience at that time.

For “A Coming Slightly Out Party”

I just came across your blogs, via Reality Sandwich (also a recent discovery for me), and sat here at work/lunch, entranced, reading "A Coming Out Slightly Party."  An overwhelming sense, half-meeting you in your words, of your spirit: How Beautiful!!  As a fellow (soror?) writer, dreamer, unraveller-into-and-explorer-of-personae, I just want to say thanks for being "out there" -- I look forward to further exploring your blogs and articles.
