This book explains many points of view on interpreting dreams, but only gives the big picture, not getting into too much detail. It's a great introduction to the subject, but not for use afterward on a daily basis. Also disappointing, it does not contain a dictionary of symbols and/or typical sightings in dreams. I guess they expect you to buy one. In that case, it should not be called "Complete" ... there are many more books I'd rather have on hand for reference.

This book is well researched, fun to read and knowledgeable about the world of dreams from past to present. I especially liked the sections on "Dreaming Through The Life Span" and the section on what my dream symbols MAY mean.

This is the only book you need to get to learn about dreaming!

I've read a lot on dreams. This book is by far the most comprehensive and easy to read. It's not goofy or too wedded to any one way of looking at dreams. The writing is really lively and humerous. And there is a lot of well-researched information, especially on the science of sleep. I'd say: buy this one!

I love the dream scape and the methodology of interpretation so I was excited to get this lil diddy.......until it arrived, not only does it NOT cover the most basic of dreams ie colors, people, places, things, it does little to provide more then cursory insights which left me dumbfounded and exasperated. On the other hand, if you are just looking for a bit of fun, have at it.....you and the book will be best buds!

I was so excited about this book. I am a HUGE fan of the Idiot's Guides. Most of the info here was pretty much things I already knew about dreams. Chapters I did find interesting were the Color chapter AND the modes of sleep. If I had purchased this 10 years ago when I was just on the journey of Dream Interpretation, I would have loved this book. So, I say--buy it if you're new to the game.. otherwise, you'll have to do some more searching.

You don't have to be much above an idiot to see the bias contained in the book, which is inappropriate for a subject as abstract as dreaming. I was looking for a book on the basics; not a book on subtly disguised polemics, couched in terms and examples that are stringently politically correct. Enough already with marketing Jimmy Carter as a sympathetic, capable hero-type! This work had more the flavor of a feminiest manifesto than a fundamental treatise on the subconscious.
