5.0 out of 5 stars There's a reason it's been around unedited for 26 years, September 4, 2000

By	John Meghly "xgenei" (Still in California.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dreamer's Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

Having closely examined literally dozens of dream books from the name-du-jour to Carl Jung, since I first acquired a dog-eared copy The Dreamer's Dictionary 19 years ago, I must conclude that people dream differently. But for me, whether a symbol is dreamed, or wanders across the floor at some revealing moment, I trust the Dreamer's Dictionary to illuminate the meaning. In my life quest I have established many useful methods -- and one of those is to use my manually scanned & OCR'd copy of T.D.D. to do quick searches. It's very revealing. I can say this, about my supposition on dreamers: even when I examine the dreams of OTHERS I have found this book accurate and helpful about 85% of the time -- and that it is a big improvement over the others I have tried.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but better than some others I've read..., February 23, 2001

By	Laura Haggarty (Northern KY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dreamer's Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

I have several books on dream interpretation, and none I've found yet seems to be the perfect one for me. I do agree with another reviewer that different people dream differently, and we might need different interpretations of our dreams. This book works for me some of the time, but not all.

The individual entries are fairly long and complete, however I wish there were more entries. At 382 pages, you'd think a lot would be covered (and it is), but I do know when I go looking for an item, about a third of the time it's not there. All in all an ok book, and one which suits my needs some of the time, but not the be all and end all of dream dictionaries, at least not for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Totally different from other dream books, April 9, 2000

By	Laurie (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreamer's Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

I have had this book a long time. It was ok until I got a copy of the Dreamers Dictionary by Barbara Condron. The interpretation of symbols from one book to another is totally different! I started to write my dreams down and the Condron book seemed to make more sense. I ended up throwing my copy of this book away. It was of no use to me.
