I have long wondered what some of my dreams meant at times they are silly, frightening, and mysterious at other times profound. I had not been taught how to interpret their meaning. Dr. Estes has again deciphered the magic that lies within. Our dreams guides to where we are in soul development, she explains the method to unraveling the messages we receive nightly. I have read so many books on dreams and did not feel much enlightened at the end. So many books just give standard meaning descriptions some from so long ago they did not have the same meaning to me. In these two tapes so much is explained in a way so easy to understand that the work she did in this area is brilliant. I recommended them to anyone who desires to know thyself better.

I particularly enjoy listening to Estes' voice as she reads her books. It brings a color and texture to the reading that shouldn't be missed.
The content is interesting and thought provoking. During one segment, the language is crude and a bit distracting. The switching back and forth from mythology, to fairy tales, to Jung is also a little hard to follow because in the end, it really comes down to "pick what you want to believe that is relevent to you at the time" which is basically what she recommends in the beginning. So, if you are looking for clear interpretation...you will find none.
I however am facinated to find that since I've started journaling my dreams...all of them include the images she incorporates into this reading. Which came first?
