I had no fewer than 4 books to refer to when I first began learning to read symbols in my dreams. This is the ONE that remains to be used even now, after years of reading/journaling my dreams. It is most helpful in that it includes "actions." It is very informative with colors, numbers, chakra inf., and it includes information on dreaming basics. Including information on why we recieve dreams that include death, sex, nightmares, other significant events. There is a page devoted to children and their dreams and nightmares. Particular symbols are very personal and this book provided me with a foundation to learn how to "determine" personal symbols. I believe that anyone using this book will find that they too will learn to use it in that way. During my dream interpretation work another book became useful because, animals are a large part of my life both in awake and dream time. The book I found that is SO helpful in understanding why certain animals come to us is: ANIMAL SPEAK by Ted Andrews. These two books are always by my bed. I refer to both when interpreting my dreams and synchronicities, I give both of these books 5 stars easily.

This is the best dream dictionary I have found. I have about 25 books on dreams and this is the book I refer back to again and again when looking for a meaning that I am having trouble finding on my own. This book is different because Kevin deals with the spiritual side of dreaming instead of the simple literal side. As an example, instead of the color Blue meaning something like "You will have a loss in love" or something silly like this, the color blue in his book has a more spiritual side, and may mean the soul, higher spiritual calling, and the 5th (throat) chakra in the human body. I'm calling this up from memory here, so don't quote me exactly! Anyway, what I have found in my case is that his meanings more closely reflect my personal meanings when I am working with my dreams.

At this point, I rarely use any of the dream books anymore, but when I am really stumped, this is the book I turn to. This book was recommended to me by my Jungian dream analyst, and I have found both her book recommendations and her knowledge invaluable in my quest to know myself fully.

This book has been a great resource book for not just interprating dreams, but for creating images for meditations and interprating objects/ images/animals/colours etc. which are around me in my daily waking life. Thankyou.

Dream Images and Symbols: A Dictionary is an excellent, accurate and well written book. Once again, Kevin Todeschi comes thru with a user friendly, accurate and relatable book. I realized after receiving this book, that it was the same one I'd had for years with a different cover. I use his advice in his books so often that I am satisfied to have one copy in my bedroom and one in my office.

I am delighted that I was lucky enough to find this dream interpretation book that is so much more than a dream book. It has numerous definitions, everyday terminology that you can relate to for each dream image or symbol, and it offers a form of guidance and future predictions that can prove beneficial. For example, I was able to determine that my diet needed an adjustment using the interpretations of this book. Try to remember your dreams and record key words on paper, then locate the variety of interpretations based on the details of your particular dream. Remember, dreams are important because they do not lie. They are a form of communication between your spiritual life and your reality in life experiences both present and future. Buy the book and it will help guide you through the journey of your reality.

I have owned this book for years and recently gave 2 as gifts. It is comprehensive, easy to use and enlightening for anyone who wants to discover the meaning behind their dreams.

I have met the author and attended some of his seminars. He is an expert in this field.

This is really great! I have been working with dreams for 25 years and have discovered many repeat meanings for my images. I believe the first and most important meaning is what I can come up with on my own, but these suggestions can add immensely to my understanding. I hope no one takes them as absolute, our own associations are what matters.

This dictionary is the best I have used it for dreams and spiritual symbols. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about interpreting their dreams, visions and spirit messages. It is a very powerful tool.
