i found this book entertaining, as all of these type of books would be. this is my very first dream book. i found that by itself, it is not enough to actually decipher you dreams. it is mearly symbols. i might pick up another book that will acompany this, that would explain senarios and not just icons. overall, a decent book IF another would explain the rest of the dreams. definatly just a fun book to look at and this is small....4"x4" so perfect for you night table.

A very full book - Each item (e.g. wheel) has a short paragraph as to what it may mean (e.g for Wheel - The prominence of a wheel may be a dynamic call to action...) Freudian and Jungian interpretations are included. After looking through the book though I pretty much decided that my dreams are my dreams and I need to just listen to myself and figure out the meaning. Some of the ideas in the books seem contrived and ultimately aren't for me. Good try on a very complex topic though.

A fun read for younger fans who have friends over and are just playing with understanding their dreams. Nothing deep here or particularly interesting. Just to glance through.

I was expecting a more definitive book on dreams that would explain in greater detail their meanings. This book is geared more to those dreamers who are not looking for more factual explanations based on deeper understandings of the subject. It seems to be written for the younger generation looking for entertainment rather than understanding. Very disappointed in this book.(...)

If you are already skilled at psychological dream interpretation and analysis, this small but thick volume(~4"x5")is a good bedside companion. It has 1001 dream symbols to help you quickly locate a particular symbol and provides a brief interpretation to each one and it's up to the dreamer to analyze their dream appropriately for their needs.

I refer to it immediately when waking from a dream. I remember the dream but need to tie in the significance of a certain symbol. In this regard, very handy to synthesize all the elements for reflection when the immediacy for understanding and the dream itself is still fresh in my mind.

It if useful for both Jungians and Freudians. This is not a book for those who prefer prediction or superstition meanings.
