In Your Dreams: The Ultimate Dream Dictionary: The Ultimate Dream Dictionary

We have all had the experience of awaken from a dream and being intrigued, wondering if the dream meant something specific. I have always been fascinated by the symbolic language of our dreams. I believe that dreams are the place where we work through our problems, where we practice needed skills, and where we try out new concepts.

For years, I have written down and analyzed my dreams. Sometimes the process can be rather frustrating, especially when I can't determine the meaning of the symbols that I am attempting to examine. My first test for In Your Dreams was to look up a number of mystery symbols that I hadn't been able to identify through other means. I was thrilled when I found them all and several pieces of my personal puzzle fell into place.

With renewed curiosity, I began looking at the symbols of various body parts looking to the symbolic nature of illness and dis-ease. The results were very interesting. I believe that they could be of use to me in my practice.

I was disappointed when I first rec'd this book. I was expecting descriptions to be much more detailed. I thought I could get more from a free website and still think this sometimes! I hadn't pulled the book out in a while, I don't use this kind of thing that much in general, but I reluctantly did this morning and was surprisingly pleased. I hadn't noticed how insightful these short and sweet descriptions are. So maybe short is better. The purpose is probably the author's desire to leave some work to the dreamer. As far as thoroughness, I disagree with the reviewer about not being able to find key words... this is the most thorough book I have seen so a question could be asked instead, in my opinion, and that is, why aren't these particular words in this book?

VERY HELPFULL FOR ALL MY DREAM NEEDS...EAZY REFERENCE TO GO RIGHT TO THE DREAM OF CHOICE...THANK YOU...

Unfortunatley, none of the key words I was looking for are in this book (ie ex-boyfriend, ex-friend, old-boyfriend, old-friend, exes, foreign country/countries, etc.) so I haven't been able to find any answers or amusement. This book is literally a dictionary with very brief answers and no scenarios.

I am new to dream interpritation. I decided to learn more about the method of understanding dreams after studying several of the techniquies used by Freud. This book provides a very easy to understand reference for the individual items in dreams. It still requires a small amount of know how to fully interprit dreams but it is a good start. Using this book in accordance with other "dream books" is very useful.
