Customer Reviews

overall, great reference book

I really like the encyclopedia of dreams. Book is very helpful. The book has helped me confirm the meaning of some of my dreams. The only issue I have is the book is limited, not enough symbols. I could not find the word castle or palace. and if an expanded version of this book ever comes out, I would definitely buy it.

Great for Dream Insight

I love this book. I have had it for years and I always find myself turning to it. And now even have friends who have bought it after I used it to help interpret their dreams with it. It's uncanny how close it really is if done right. It has helped me nderstand hard times in my life and se things about myself I never knew. Even to the point where I was better able to understand things about others. One of my many favorite books.

Sweet Dreams

Interested in learning how we dream or what our dreams mean? Do our dreams have a deeper meaning? If you're curious in answering any of these questions, you'll enjoy this book.This book informs us of the process of dreaming and different activities that may occur during sleep. No one had discovered the true reason why we dream, but we do know we need to dream.Also the book has a dictionary of dream interpretations in the back. Your dreams do mean something, sometimes the meanings of our needs aren't obvious, so they disguise themselves in our dreams. Knowing what your dreams mean will help satisfy your inner desires, ones you don't even know you have.

Impressive

I've experienced the outcomes to her interpretations in this book and feel they're like premonitions. That's just my opinion of it. Also recommending: The Discovery of Dreams A-Z

Most Helpful for Dream Weavers

I have perused many dream encyclopedias, but this is my favorite because it offers several possible interpretations for each dream symbol - you choose the one that best fits your dream and your life. Also, the interpretations are deeper and more spiritual than those found in many other books. This book was my main source of guidance in writing DREAM WEAVING: USING DREAM GUIDANCE TO CREATE LIFE'S TAPESTRY.

It makes sense

I've used this book several times to interpret dream images and it almost always gives me good answers. It doesn't delve into new age nonsense or into fortune telling like so many other books on the subject do. Instead it combines psychology and mythology in a way that makes dream images understandable and relatable. I only wish that the book was even more extensive.
