"Cloudbusting was inspired by a book that I found in a shop. . . Written by a guy called Peter Reich, and it's called A Book of Dreams. And it's very unusual, beautiful book, written by this man through the eyes of himself when he was a child, looking at his father, and the relationship between them. Very special relationship, his father meant so much to him." --Kate Bush This famous book, the inspiration behind Kate Bush's 1985 hit song "Cloudbusting," is the extraordinary account of life as friend, confidant, and child of the brilliant but persecuted Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Peter, his son, shared with his father the revolutionary concept of a world where dream and reality are virtually indistinguishable, and the sense of mission which set him and his followers apart from the rest of the human race. Here, Peter Reich writes vividly and movingly of the mysterious experiences he shared with his father: of flying saucers; the "cloudbuster" rain-makers, and the FDA narks; and of the final tragic realization of his father's death, which woke him up to the necessity of living out his life in an alien world. Already regarded as a modern classic, A Book of Dreams is not only a beautifully written narrative of a remarkable friendship and collaboration, but a loving son's heartfelt tribute to a loving father.

The second third of the book seemed to zoom by and had I the spare time I would have probably read much farther if not finished the book. The last third of the book though was a slower read, at least for me, it also seemed to relate to The Book of the SubGenius in my imagination for some reason or another. The book is split into halves with the first welded together by the framing episode of a motorcycle accident in France and the anesthetic gas that precipitates the dream state where all its ideas swirl together. The second half was very fragmentary and jagged. Whether or not that was the author's intention, I found it abrasive and hard to read as each subsection skipped around. This section of the book also got repetitive with its imagery which seemed intended in order to create some connective tissue but which sort of lost me.
I did like this book if not solely for the dream-like flow at its start but also for its good use of imagery and the science fiction framed but ultimately fantastical element of "cloudbusting". I would recommend this to readers looking for something a little different; an auto-biographical mishmash of dreams and memories with the added elements of weather machines and UFOs. (
