Review

Dreams are a vital source of information that can help illuminate and enrich our waking lives. Most people do not realize this, however, simply because they do not tend to remember their dreams. Or they only remember enough to think that their dreams are simply nonsense or too surreal to have meaning. There are, however, simple techniques that may be used to remember and work with one's dreams and this new book from Alice Anne Parker can help. Understand Your Dreams will help readers to remember and interpret their dreams and even change negative dreams into positive ones! Parker also offers ways of interpreting recurring dreams or patterns of symbols that occur frequently.

Included here is a long glossary that offers hundreds of symbols and images that often occur in dreams, but instead of simply giving a potential meaning for these images, Parker gives the reader questions that should be asked. I found the glossary fascinating and very helpful - I have used it myself often in the last few weeks.

Parker's method seems to be a much more objective and effective way of interpreting what are, after all, highly personal manifestations of our unconscious lives. Understand Your Dreams is a very valuable new addition to the fast-growing crop of books on dream interpretation. -- New Age Retailer, September 1995

This revised and expanded edition of Understand Your Dreams adds 500 new images to its dictionary of symbols, but it is more than a dictionary. Parker explains a unique way of recording dreams - in circular clusters - which actually makes more sense than trying to write them down in paragraphs because dreams usually don't follow a linear sequence. She then details an eight-step process of analysis. The dictionary of symbols includes questions to ask yourself for a deeper understanding to each symbol's personal meaning. -- NAPRA ReVIEW, ABA issue 1995

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!, December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Understand Your Dreams: 1500 Basic Dream Images and How to Interpret Them (Paperback)

This is not the usual "canned definition" for dream symbolization. It will really get you thinking about what each image could mean and how it relates to you.

This review is from: Understand Your Dreams: 1500 Basic Dream Images and How to Interpret Them (Paperback)

the reson for writing is that i needed to find out why i had a dream and needed UNDERSTANDING right away-dont you think that with all consumers going into the internet everyday that a web page with this idea would make your pocket a litter fatter and also when certain cultures try to figure a dreAm its always an number that follows to play in lotto or with ilegal numbers -i wish you would market my idea and also advertise so that followers like myself would go into that page instead of running to the store or library or get a book from internet -hello!
