Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Koch-Sheras and Lemley provide broad coverage of dreams, ranging from ancient theories about their meanings down to contemporary approaches to their interpretation. They offer basic information on how to remember and record dreams and on what to do once you have ensnared a few for analysis. They include a solid, useful chapter on forming a dream group as well as a levelheaded one on psychic phenomena in dreams. A good introduction for general collections.

This review is from: The Dream Sourcebook: A Guide to the Theory and Interpretation of Dreams (Hardcover)

I bought this book some time ago to satisfy my casual interest in dream interpretation. Little did I know, at the time, that this book would turn out to be an invaluable ally during a time of profound grief. After the sudden and unexpected loss of a dear friend, I needed help in understanding what my dreams of him were telling me. I learned here about the powerful symbols of dreams and how they help the tender pysche to heal from such deep wounds.

This is a tremendous tool for any type of dream interpretation, however. Easy to read and endlessly fascinating.
