Review
Moss (Dreaming the Soul Back Home) is an extraordinary guide to dreams and dreaming who also knows the power of storytelling. While not an autobiography, his book includes many personal stories and memories that offer rich fodder for the imagination....His ability to normalize the idea of communication and movement between this world and the next through story, and to show how reality is layered and time is fluid, is sublime....Reading this book is like embarking on a guided mystery tour through the past, present, and other worlds and discovering the potential to transform one’s own life, as well as a path to transform the world.”

Sumptuous language, lush imagery, and fantastic narratives...Moss is a captivating storyteller with an eye for detail, possessed of impeccable timing....Those seeking their own answers may find a sense of direction, deep healing, or a glimmer of insight to help guide them on their own personal metaphysical quests....It’s a rare talent that can infuse the magical with the mundane in a manner that lends real weight and volume to their narratives. Moss not only possesses it, he wields it with masterly precision....Believer and skeptic alike will discover that time spent with Moss will be enjoyable and perhaps life-changing.”
ForeWord
The Boy Who Died and Came Back is a masterpiece. Captivated from the very first page, I could not put the book down. Robert Moss is the consummate guide to this grand multiverse in which we live.”
Bonnie Horrigan, author of Red Moon Passage
This wonderfully written book by Robert Moss shares the amazing story of his life and adventures in nonordinary realms. He teaches us about dreams, the multiverse, and death and shares powerful teachings to wake us up to a new awareness of just how many paths we walk through the seen and unseen worlds.”
Sandra Ingerman, MA, author of Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth
Robert Moss is a weaver of worlds. In this book, he entwines the shamanic with the classical, the mythological with the historical with gold-threaded prose. He shows us how conscious dreaming can lead us into the non-space-time regions of the inner universe, where all things are connected from whatever time, place, or reality. Moss’ book is a superb illustration of the restless, exuberant creativity of consciousness.”
Julia Assante, author of The Last Frontier
This is a thrilling personal account of the farthest reaches of human consciousness. Robert Moss shows us that our mind is more than physical, that it is not limited to the here and now. Being infinite in space and time, it is immortal, eternal, and soul-like. Moss continues to be one of our greatest explorers of consciousness. He is that rarest of authors who brings hope and meaning to every reader.”
Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind
The Boy Who Died and Came Back is a fascinating travelogue of visionary journeys into nonordinary realities. The rich spectrum of these remarkable adventures in consciousness ranges from near-death experiences, memories of previous incarnations, lucid precognitive dreams, encounters with spirits and archetypal beings, and stunning synchronicities, to shamanic experiences of psychospiritual death and rebirth. Robert Moss’ unique ability to navigate these experiences; use them as sources of inspiration, healing, and spiritual insight; and integrate them into his everyday life makes this book an invaluable guide for people interested in self-discovery, spiritual quest, and learning about the nature of reality.”

From the Author
I died for the first time in my present body when I was three years old. My mother's aunt, the opera singer, saw my death in the tea leaves a few months before it happened. She would not talk about that until much later, because although she was a gifted psychic, she missed something. I died and came back.
Until now, I have always avoided naming a favorite among my books, as good parents generally want to do. But I am not afraid to say: this new literary child is my favorite. I had to muster some real courage to share the personal narratives in this book, which explain how I came to my present path, as a dream teacher, among all the forking roads of the multiverse, and the cost of reincarnating yourself in a single span of years. I write about what it means to walk between the worlds every day. My inner artist is happy that my publishers agreed enthusiastically to include seven of my drawings in the book.
One of the most important things that death and life have taught me is this:
If you want to know about reincarnation, start by studying how you can rebirth yourself within your present life, and then how you deal with what you were before. If you think you are connected to personalities in other times - that you have past lives and future lives - then consider the possibility that it is all going on now and that you can reach to those other possible selves, mind to mind, for mutual benefit. Don't trap yourself in any story, from this life or any other, that binds and confines you. In this moment of Now, you are free to claim a bigger and braver story.
