I wasted my money. I was dissapointed to say the very least. Full of negativity, this book, just didn't do it for me.

This book is easy to search through and interprets your dreams very well. Some people may not like it because it predicts the future, but they are so busy doubting the book, they don't realize the prediction was right. I think this is a great book.

If your'e looking for a book that tells the truth about your dreams,this isn't the book for you.But,I think it is''really'' fun to read the myths that they put in there and if one of your dreams will give you misfortune or constant luck in the future.So what i'm trying to say is ''This is a really good book and i would definately recommend this book to dream lovers all around the world!!''

Have used this book on and off for 5 years and have decided to trash it. You can tell that there are so many items that are from the early 10th century (I have no clue what some of the items within the book are just glancing around...) He doesn't interpret color or things that could be common (like a dress or a mop or washing a floor).

This book is more like a horoscope in that it gives you a list of items and events that occur in dreams, and tells you what your future may hold based upon their appearance in your dream. It doesn't explain what they might mean in a more concrete sense; what does it mean that you are dreaming these things, what issues do you need to address? What is weighing on your mind? Instead, it is much like going to a palm reader.

Wast of money!! This book did not do it for me, it is so negitave you can almost predict what the interrpretation will be before you read it.

Miller's book is true to its subtitle: "What's in a Dream." He has catalogued (and cross-referenced) in alpabetical order probably about 10,000 things that may crop up in most people's dreams, but not all. Miller draws from Camille Flammariov's (1900) work especially Flammariov's "Unknown" for purpose and framework. The exact nature of where Miller's 10,000 dream interpretations-every single entry-come from is not clear. The assumption is that Miller has been able to tap into a universal reference on symbology with his higher self. Based on a small unrandom sample of dreams from personal experience and friends with follow-up, the accuracy of interpretation approaches the accuracy of prediction of daily astrological guidance in local newspapers. Beyond the possible rival factor of self-fulfilling prophecy, the accuracy depends on a person's point-of-view. The strength of the book is its symbolic database and proposed meanings as interesting points of discussion. For example, Miller's interpretation of dreaming about deer is generally favorable, denoting deep friendships or a quiet life. While killing a deer in your dream is interpreted as being harrassed by your enemies. Farmers and business people who dream of hunting deer should be warned that failure will be forthcoming in their ventures. My bias or tendency is for people to self-interpret symbols using their own local or personal meanings that they attach to objects in their dreams, so Miller's book fell short of my expectations.

I originally bought this book back in the late 1970's. I'd already been working with dreams for 10+ years, and it helped me focus in on certain things that previously I couldn't make sense of.

Easy-to-use reference book... Key words are alphabetized for easy reference. It helps to use a thesaurus, as some words to describe what's in a dream may not be exactly the wording you might use.

If I had one dream reference book to use, this would be the one. It's a great starter book, and has been a great reference for me for years (I bought another copy not too long ago.)

This book can help you on your way to understanding your dreams and that of others. VERY easy to use!

I'd also recommend keeping a dream journal by the side of your bed, and before you do ANYTHING in the morning, write your dreams down that you can recall. The less movement, the better until you have it down. Sometimes it's a good idea to not move at all, play the dream back in your head, then write it down. The longer you wait, the fuzzier the details of any dream, and after a while, you may not recall even having a dream (although everyone does - several times a night!)

I have used it a million times to interpret dreams. It is right on and accurate. Highly recommended.

I recommend Betty Bethard's Dream Book, isbn 0967979013, if you really are interested in dreams and their meaning

It has the same format, but it written intuitively by her You might discover that you learn more about yourself from this book than many others, which are often a conglomeration of others
