This mammoth, superbly illustrated book helps us to understand our dreams by tracing their coded messages. The first three chapters take a fascinating look at the history of dream analysis, the language of dreams and the principles of interpretation. There are case studies, as well as effective techniques for encouraging and recording dreams, for prompting lucid (controlled) dreaming and for distinguishing psychologically important dreams from less significant ones. Then, an extensive and invaluable Key to Dream Symbols provides enlightening interpretations of a wealth of symbols organized thematically - supported by a comprehensive A-Z dream index at the back of the book. This thematic organisation enables the reader to understand significant associations within clusters of dream symbolism. Entertaining and informative in equal measure, this superb book deserves a treasured place on every nightstand.
I was recommended to read this book from someone that I know, and I just had to pick it up! The cover is gorgeous and it’s a pretty neat read! I’ve always been fascinated with reading about interpretation of dreams. There was so many different things in this book, and it was a quick and easy read and very informative! If you are interested in dreams and what the meanings behind them are, I highly suggest getting this book!
Pretty good, not the best I’d say but I’ve never read any other dream book. I’d say it’s good for authors who want to write a story & ll this stuff can help you with settings & stuff. I’m glad I can finally move on to the next book!
