A good book to flip through when you're bored.

It's more of a dictionary-type book, but still a good book if you want to interpret something from your dreams (according to the book).

I picked this up in a charity shop as it looked like fun and it really was. This pre freud book is set out as it says like a dictionary where you look up images from your dream, a lot of the items are out dated.

Basically if your'e looking for a bit of fun ivolving looking up what cauliflowers mean this is the book for you.

Thank you Netgalley for a review copy of this book.

I have an older edition of this book but it was really boring - this updated version is colourful and clearer. The interpretations are also explained better.

I seriously did not love this book, but it has as much to do with my training in Gestalt dream interpretation according to projections as it has to do with the author's paintbrush. This was just too corny for my taste.

I've only flipped through this at times but after seeing what I've seen, which wasn't much, I've come to the hopeful conclusion that this must be one of the poorer dream interpretation books out there. I certainly hope this isn't the cream of the crop because if it is I'm sticking with my own conclusions.
Unless you're trying to find "falling" or "spiders" you'll be out of luck and that's very childish. I wanted more in depth interpretations and I wanted to be able to delve deeper into dreams I remembered.
If you're looking for a book to actually help you interpret your dreams keep searching. If you're looking for something to pick up and take a look through once, for no real reason, this is it.

This is an old book, many of the definitions are quite dated.

Example: "Quaker" *.*.*. For a young woman to attend a Quaker meeting, portends that she will, by her modest manners, win a faithful husband who will provide well for her household.

I've had this book for years and have used it hundreds of times when I was perplexed by a dream or just curious. I haven't read every single page but, I have had a whole bunch of different topics in my dreams so I've had the opportunity to scan through the majority of the book. It has almost every description from the alice down the hole crazy to the dog ate my homework ordinary. So whichever kind you have, this book will more than likely have a decent decription as to the why you had it and what it means for you.

FS: "The Bible, as well as other great books of historical and revealed religion, shows traces of a general and substantial belief in dreams."

LS: "You will also gain knowledge by travel and sojourn in foreign countries."

bathroom reader.
so everything in this book is totally bizarre and every dream you ever have is bad...someone will die, or you will have ugly children, or you will lose all your money with just about anything you have a dream about.
but at the same time it's also hilarious! i try to find the most bizarre dream analyses ever when i'm taking a....well you get my drift. :)

I bought this at a goth store waiting for a friend who couldn't decide whether or not she wanted a really interesting belt (she didn't in the end).[return]I only pick up this book about every half year as I usually can't remember my dreams. And if I do remember them, only one in every dozen or so is disturbing or weird enough that I want to know what it means. More often than not I'm not satisfied with the answers this book gives me, but that could either be because I don't really believe in it or because there are too many different themes in my dreams. It's entertaining though, trying to figure out how to apply an interpretation to what is currently going on in my life.

Its a beautiful book, but I don't find dream dictionaries that useful.
