This review is from: Dreams & Relationships: Interpret Your Dreams, Understand Your Emotions, and Find Fulfillment (Paperback)

I'm always looking for books that go beyond the obligatory "dream dictionary." I invest the bulk of my energy into telling querents that they are the best interpreter of their dreams and emphasizing that dreams speak in symbols. I was a bit leery of this one, which is a "pretty" book filled with beautiful illustrations. I was concerned that it may be "fluff" but I was pleasantly surprised. The author is well qualified to write on this topic with his background in psychotherapy and dreams. Heyneman consistently explains symbolism and provides valuable exercises for developing intuitive abilities and understanding symbolism. There is a brief "oracle" section at the end of the book defining common symbols pertaining to relationships. Exercises are presented that couples can do together, including a few that can serve to enhance wakeful bedroom activities. Heyneman shows that dream work can indeed be used to draw couples closer together through improved communication. The ideas in the book can also be applied to other important relationships in one's life. Simply written, I feel that this is a great book for the beginner who wants to learn dream symbolism. An attractive book, it would also make a nice wedding or anniversary gift for dream conscious couples, or even just for fun.
