This was an early birthday present from my mom and stepdad when I was younger. I think everyone goes through a phase where they want to analyze their dreams to understand what their subconscious is trying to tell them. For me this phase was more than that; it was a deep need that had to be fulfilled. I'd always ask what my dream meant to my parents when I was a child but stopped as I grew older. When I found this book and asked for it as a birthday gift I was so happy when they bought it for me. I've gotten so much use out of it since my 2011 birthday; it's my go to book whenever I have a difficult dream. There is so much detail and so many symbols are covered that I have not really had any difficulty finding what I needed to know. It's definitely worth a read for those who are interested in understanding symbols in their dreams.
I got this book about 4-5 years ago. It's an extremely large heavy book with an encyclopedia on every dream symbol you can think of. Not joking! It's rare that I haven't found a symbol in this book. I remember how happy I was when I got this book on special for like $20. Which is far from what it is worth. It's an amazing resource and very well made. Sadly my book is slowly falling apart because I have used it so much!
I am taking this book off of my tbr shelf because I have enjoyed flipping through it on many occasions and I find the information to be interesting and well compiled.
There is a lot of conflict regarding dreams and how to interpret them/what they really are/etc. I don't know how well researched or factual this book is, but it is a fascinating read and there are many times when looking up what I dreamt that it completely made sense. This book is also creates great conversation between friends as everyone is curious to know why they are dreaming about certain things.
I have very vivid dreams on a nightly basis and resort to this book. I bought one for my best friend and we always talk about it. I've not read it front to back but it's a great resource!
also, a very fun book to flip through. anytime I have dreams I cannot explain I know my subconsious can in some way. so I put the pieces together while flipping through this book and gain insight into things I've never thought possible!
