There really is such thing and Amazon subscribers probably already know this. I had studied Fraud and Jung's dream interpretation and still found something missing in my own experience. This book was the link to the unconscious and the world of spirit. The author takes the real life experiences of a couple's dream experiences through 20 years +. Cayce's interpretation sees the levels of dreams with the clarity to understand their physical, intellectual and spiritual content. Read this book.

Having completed my thesis on the function of sleep and dreaming, I have read extensively on the subject. While I tend to lean more toward physiological neuroscience perspectives on the functions of our dreams, I am very open-minded and believe that our dreams surely serve a psychological purpose as well. I picked up this book expecting something more than I got. I was presented with a poorly written and gender biased first chapter(for example, when talking of one of Cayce's clients "She turned to the woman's world of family and relationships..." Granted it was written several decades ago, but still...) Honestly, I'm avoiding finishing the book. I am sure Cayce himself was a very talented dream interpreter and helped many people but Harmon Bro does not do him justice here.

I've had vivid dreams all my life, but was stumped when it came to interpretation. This book (a GREAT read if ever there was one) gave me the skills needed to accurately interpret not only my dreams but those of my family and friends, too. I can't say enough good things about this book, and the author's knack for economy in expression. Once you've read this book, you'll have the skills to immediately sort out dream images. An unexpected side benefit was a dream interpretation that enabled me to increase my personal net worth by 500% in less than three months!

I have enjoyed other Edgar Cayce books, however, this one left much to be desired. The information on dream interpretation was sketchy, when the author discussed Cayce's OWN dreams and the fact that they were "submitted for interpretation", he didn't indicate who interpreted them! In addition, most of the example cases used in the book just seemed to be heavily stuck on the Stock Market. I didn't buy this book for assistance in the Stock Market, and honestly, the information given in the book wasn't helpful anyway!

I can't say enough about this book: it's detailed, balanced, scholarly yet a pleasure to read, penetrating...
