The best dream interpretation book I've come across.

Good book for basic dream interpritation.

it was cool to understand a few things about my dreams and I was very shocked when somethings actually turned out the way it was described. It's an entertaining read.

I enjoy this book on a daily basis !!

I like to read dream dictionaries so I really liked this book. It has some old-fashioned interpretations, but that is why I like this book. I collect dream dictionaries, so if you do this one is a must have. I also love all the dream quotes from the Bible.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days," saith God, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." -- Acts 2:17

One of my favorites!

I have had this book for years and have dipped into every now and then when a particularly vivid aspect of a dream has stuck with me. It has only just occurred to me, however, that there is a slightly negative slant to almost every symbol - surely I cannot be so utterly doomed as the interpretations offered here would suggest!

People come to me with their dreams, asking for interpretation. Sometimes I'm asked what my references are for dream interpretation and I admit that they are internal—intuition and insight into the analogies of the subconscious. Occasionally I come across a book on dream interpretation, like this one, and I'm reminded why I don't use them. Firstly, no book knows what's going on in any given dreamer's awake life, hence the dictionary definitions of what a dream's various elements might mean is likely to be off. Secondly, many of these books have a tendency to try and predict the future, saying things like, "You'll be successful in sex/love/business/etc." and no dream can tell you that for certain; rather, dreams take components of our waking lives and rearrange them in ways to show us different perspective on our pasts, our presents, and our possible (but not definitive) futures. Thirdly, these books are laced with sexist and racist crap, making gross generalizations based on gender and negative associations based on race (just look at the entry for "Lips" and you'll get the idea). So next time you've got a dream that needs interpreting, put aside your books and just talk to someone.

I read this straight through on a lark. No rating really applies. It is clearly outdated for the modern person.

Kind of humorous to try to interpret your dreams and lets be honest you could have eaten a piece of chocolate cake and all the sugar manifested into a giant monster that chased you all night in REM!!!

Fun to see how dreams could be interpreted and what to make of some crazy sleep movies!!!!

Fun to read and try to interpret your own dreams... I always have crazy dreams and found this book super cheap in a bargain bookstore. I'm a dream nerd and figured, why not get a dream book? The only thing about this one, it's severely outdated! Also, for listing 10,000 dreams, it doesn't include a lot of things I frequently dream about.

It's fun and entertaining to look through and would making for good conversation if you're terrible at small talk, like me, but other than that, only every once in a while does the actual interpretation fully make sense to my life! But hey, what more could you expect from a dream interpretation book written so long ago?

interpretations vary per person, but I've never shook my head disagreeing with so many of these in a single book before.

Still one of the finest dreambooks around

but you'll still have to make do with trying to look things up with the 1901 mindset with a few definitions.

I tend to tell people if you think with a Victorian mindset like me or my mother, this book will have excellent results, but some people and their personalities/psychologicals the interpretations might not skew.

Not to mention some occultists don't like some of the symbolisms or analysis, but that might be that it just doesn't work on certain levels, or systems.

I found the book rarely worked when i was four-nine years old, but in later years it had an outstanding track record.

My family has been using this book for 74 years
