3.0 out of 5 stars Not for serious dreamers. :), January 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Illustrated Dream Dictionary (Paperback)

I got this book for Christmas along with a Dream Interpreter CD. This book basically has listing of many dream symbols as well as 'actions' such as 'if you lit a match..'. The reason I rated this book a three is that it's been somewhat helpful. A lot of symbols I wanted to know, I could not find them in the book and found them online instead. Searching for a dream symbol is a pain since the alphabetized symbols are all smashed together. Each symbol is CAPITALIZED but you also have many bolded words in there that makes it all a big mess when trying to find symbols. However, I believe this book is for more casual dreamers who just want to know a few things. If you're a serious dreamer who want it all, this book is not for you.

This review is from: The Illustrated Dream Dictionary (Paperback)

The illustrated dream dictionary gives you what over 2,000 things mean in dreams including, people, events, places, and objects.

I purchased this book a while ago and still use it. It gives you very basic definitions of what things could mean in your dreams. Everything is listed in alphbetical order, making whatever it is your looking for, easy to find.

I have noticed though that a lot of things mean the same exact thing as something else. I can't tell you how many times I have read 'this is a good omen', or 'this is a bad omen', and then they don't elaborate on what kind of bad or good thing it could be.

So if your just looking to have a little fun and not take your dreams THAT seriously then this is the book for you, but if you really want to know the hidden meaning of your dreams I would buy a book that gives a little better description for things.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, basic dream interpretation guide, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Illustrated Dream Dictionary (Paperback)

Concise A-Z reference of dream elements and components. As a beginner, I found this book to be self-explanatory and easy to use. So good that I have passed it on to several friends who have purchased it themselves.
