4.0 out of 5 stars It makes sense, June 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Dreams (Paperback)

I've used this book several times to interpret dream images and it almost always gives me good answers. It doesn't delve into new age nonsense or into fortune telling like so many other books on the subject do. Instead it combines psychology and mythology in a way that makes dream images understandable and relatable. I only wish that the book was even more extensive.

I have perused many dream encyclopedias, but this is my favorite because it offers several possible interpretations for each dream symbol - you choose the one that best fits your dream and your life. Also, the interpretations are deeper and more spiritual than those found in many other books. This book was my main source of guidance in writing DREAM WEAVING: USING DREAM GUIDANCE TO CREATE LIFE'S TAPESTRY.

I love this book. I have had it for years and I always find myself turning to it. And now even have friends who have bought it after I used it to help interpret their dreams with it. It's uncanny how close it really is if done right. It has helped me nderstand hard times in my life and se things about myself I never knew. Even to the point where I was better able to understand things about others. One of my many favorite books.
