Truly Complete

I actually picked this book up today at a Borders near my home. This book is huge... just filled to the brim with interpretations, however it also contains valuable dream information for explaining dreams and why we have them, (a section is included on how to use this big monstrous book)the history and beliefs, an explaination of archetypes, methods of dream interpritation, how to be a creative dreamer and a massive dream dictionary that is very much like the dictionary on (dreammoods . com) in terms of having detailed and varied definitions for different experiences of the same theme. There is also a section that teaches you how to interprit your dreams by using other peoples dreams as examples. The author then breaks down the dreams and how they should be interprited. There are over ten examples of these. At the end of this book is a dream workbook as well. If you are or know someone who gives much credit to dreams and it's science and is an active explorer or dreamworker, this is a great book, much better than many others I have seen. It contains so much at such a great price. You won't regret it.

There are many books available on dreaming. The format of this book is the the same as so many others... dictionary. What makes this book different is the explanations of the dream content that you look up. It is clear and provocative. It is helpful in suggesting the archetype for the dream content. (Google Jung and dreams, if you are unfamiliar with dream archetypes) Enjoy!
