Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1995

What does it mean to dream of tunnels, rainbows, alarm bells, travelling, swimming or embarrassment? Here are 10,000 answers! Nobody knows for sure how to value dream interpretation in a modern world. It is a very individual process. However, the dreaming mind is a kaleidoscope of different images, which are thought to reveal important signals from your sub-conscious. In this mammoth book you will find no less than 10,000 of these dream images. They have been passed down by generations of dreamers and represent a fascinating study of both folk lore and the history of popular psychology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, but an interesting read, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 10,000 Dreams and Their Traditional Meanings (Paperback)

I've had this book since July 1993 and have written in the book the dates of my dreams beside the objects in my dreams, and I have a lot of fun now going back through and reading what I was dreaming about and remembering what was going on in my life at the time. I feel that the wording is very peculiar at times, and even though it has interpretations of so many different dreams, a lot of the major and most common dream issues are not even mentioned. Still, I have enjoyed the book, and I'm going to have to buy a new one because mine is literally falling apart. It's not bad, but it's not the greatest dream interpretation book either. It's important to remember though, that dreams are people-specific, and the same dream will mean something totally different to different people. With that in mind, it's difficult to write a generalized dream book for everyone, but I think this does a decent job of getting one to think about their dreams and what they "could" mean.

Gustavus Hindman Miller is an author who interprets dreams better than any other author. I have been analyzing my dreams for the last ten years and bought dozens of books but no author can match his exceptional interpretions. I have bought every one of his books and will continue to do so in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Helpful, October 26, 2000

This review is from: 10,000 Dreams and Their Traditional Meanings (Paperback)

I purchased this book for one peticular dream I had. I was very disappointed to find that none of anything in my dream was in this book. I was looking for more of a dream interpertation than this book could give. I thought with 10,000 words something to do with conversation would be in there and it wasn't. I was very disappointed and would not recommend this book. I have read the rest of it and found it to be very basic information and nothing I could not figure out for myself.
