Definitely a classic! It should be noted, however, that this is essentially the 3rd edition of LIVING YOUR DREAMS. The first, which is the one I read, was published in the late 1970's. The third edition is more refined and, I thought, a bit more conservative. Very well presented, and easily accessible. I was "incubating" dreams the very first night I read the directions. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to people who rarely remember their dreams, and want to see what all the fuss is about!

Living your dreams is all you could ask for as an introduction to personal dream interpretation. As a practical guide to recording and getting the most out of your dreams, it is unsurpassed. It also offers an introduction to the various schools of thought and a good reading list.

I've worked with my dreams for over 20 years. Skipped over Freud and started with Jung and his school, aboriginal and Native American, and "new age." I just read this book after dismissing it for years... just because it was a best seller, self-helpish type thing.

Just so you know, I am Greek and thus was raised on Greek mythology. I also am highly educated, teach at a University, and have an excellent vocabulary. I *still* found that much of the literature was a bit too cerebral to be useful. Also, I had questions such as, "If a white person dreams of a black person and this is supposed to be their shadow, what does the shadow of a black person look like?" Another question: "Why is Jungian therapy so darn expensive? Is it only for the wealthy who have lots of time on their hands? And wouldn't that skew the research such that the sample of those who can afford Jungian therapy does not represent the population of typical Americans or Europeans?"

I have made more progress in working with my dreams using the methodology in this book over the past few months, then in years previous! Straight-up effective... with very little overly intellectualized theory and no bossy "this is what a car means" type of advice. Over and over, I've had that "click" where I understand the dream's meaning. This didn't happen much before. I am excited by the potential for my transformation!

The book I received was in perfect condition! The binding was completely in tact with no creased corners or pages. I was completely satisfied with the timeliness and quality of my order.
