The title of this book caught my attention immediately. I've always been interested in dream theories (such as those provided my Freud and Jung) so this seemed to fit right along with what I'd been reading. However, "The Dream Story" proved to be an even better and more practical book than those by Frued and Jung. I found a lot of the information useful, and the philosophies (though some were esoteric) were interesting to toy around with. There's some information about children's dreams, which was quite fascinating. I wish he would have included more of that. All in all, I'd say this is an entertaining book, not overly techinical, but still chocked full of information and ideas.

Fantastic work. Very entertaining considering this is hardcore, non-fiction depth psychology. The dreams Broadribb describes are wierd and wonderful. Much of this will hit very close to home, and anyone interested in interpreting their own personal dreams - or other peoples' dreams - should read this. The greatest thing about this type of book is that it provides a window into other peoples' deepest secrets and fantasies. Like any good book on dream interpretation, there is a voyeuristic aspect, but this book is very pg-rated and will prove relevant to good spiritual dreams from God as well as the darker dreams.
