One of the best

Of the 6 or so books on dreams that I own; this is one of the best. While the interpretations given are from an analytical viewpoint, they are written in simple language and in a straight-forward manner. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand their dreams.

The best for psychological dream interpretation.

I have been interested in dream analysis for several years, but each book I read gave a prophetic interpretation of dreams. Although this can be fun, I wanted to find out the deeper meaning of the themes and symbols in my dreams. This book has several explanations for each symbol, stemming from theories of Freud and Jung. It gives the reader meaningful insights about dreams, and it is also very easy to use and understand. The symbols are listed in alphabetical order, covering everything from objects to specific feelings. I have never had trouble finding anything, even if it seemed really abstract. If you are serious about dream analysis, this book should be on your nightstand.

Facinating; my first dreambook,not my last!!!!

Like I said this was my first dreambook and i loved it. I have even brought it to work for others to "interpret" dreams, most loved it too. However, Ican't find a lot of things tha keep reacurring in my dreams and it's driving me NUTS!! So I am now looking for another Dream dictionary. But I will keep this one and continue to use it regularlly.
