The best for psychological dream interpretation.,
By "rainy721" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dictionary Of Dream Symbols: With An Introduction To Dream Psychology (Paperback)
I have been interested in dream analysis for several years, but each book I read gave a prophetic interpretation of dreams. Although this can be fun, I wanted to find out the deeper meaning of the themes and symbols in my dreams. This book has several explanations for each symbol, stemming from theories of Freud and Jung. It gives the reader meaningful insights about dreams, and it is also very easy to use and understand. The symbols are listed in alphabetical order, covering everything from objects to specific feelings. I have never had trouble finding anything, even if it seemed really abstract. If you are serious about dream analysis, this book should be on your nightstand.

Some good stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Dictionary Of Dream Symbols: With An Introduction To Dream Psychology (Paperback)
This book was o.k. It follows Jung and Freud very well. There are a lot of symbols meanings available. I had trouble relating many of the meanings to me and my dreams. One good thing was that its not one of those books that tell you your fortune or what's in the future. Also it has a good introductory about important aspects of dreaming.

But I will keep this one and continue to use it regularlly.
