Best practical book on dream interpretation

If you ask me, this is the best book about dream interpretation. I have this book already ten years, and I still didn~{!/~}t find anything better. To me, the most important aspect of this book is that it allows me to interpret my dreams personally, by looking deeply within myself, instead of running outside to find solutions to my dreams. There~{!/~}s no need for dream dictionaries and archetypes. I can make my own dictionary based on my personal experience, and this differs between individuals. Ever since I read this book, I~{!/~}m able to speak with my dream ~{!.~}characters~{!/~} and symbols, and to understand what they wish to convey to me. The techniques are simple, testable, and ring true. This book doesn~{!/~}t elaborate much about lucid dreams, out of body experiences, etc, but as a book about dream interpretation it is the best I ever had.

Excellent resource!

I recommend this technique to all my screenwriting students.

A modern, comprehensible, useful book

This is the only book that has helped me really understand the difference between childhood, present day and meaningful symbols. I would love to read more on this authors' findings.
