Dimensionen der Träume. Ein Grundlagenwerk zu Wesen, Funktion und Interpretation.

by Ole Vedfelt

The Dimensions of Dreams summarizes in one encyclopedic volume the vast knowledge modern science has been able to amass about the world of dreams since Freud first published his groundbreaking Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. Ole Vedfelt reviews in depth the large body of research about dreams that has found its way into the literature, from the work of Freud and Jung to that of many other important investigators, including Alfred Adler, Erich Fromm, Montague Ullman, Calvin Hall, and Medard Boss. Vedfelt also discusses dreamwork in gestalt therapy and psychodrama, and describes the results of modern laboratory investigations of sleep and dreaming.

This book gave lots of ways to think about dreams. I appreciated that the author was open minded and presented so much information about different methods. I had been interested in Jungian dream interpretation before, and now I have a broader knowledge of what else is out there to consider. You could really spend months interpreting one dream if you considered it from all the angles presented. Only thing I am upset about is that none of Vedfelt's other books have been translated to English!

"The Dimensions of Dreams" is an intriguing blend of pseudo-science and phenomenal psychology.

A very encyclopedic review of modern psychoanalytical dream interpretation. Very informative and helpful in determining which area of research to turn to and what the prevailing schools of thought are in each topic. Not a light read - but if you're interested in dreams, psychology, or want to know what the differences between each school of thought is, this is your book.
