David Melbourne and Helen Adams have synthesized an approach to dream analysis that combines the theories of Freud, Jung, and other psychological models with astrological readings to form a dual interpretation of the deepest messages in dreams. While the organization of
Your Dreams and Your Stars is a bit perplexing, the book is a much needed departure from the questionable reliability of dream dictionaries, which try to define dream images with one-size- fits-all definitions. While acknowledging the importance of Jungian archetypes shared throughout the human subconscious, Melbourne still realizes that dreams are highly individualized messages that can't be pinned down with a single set of definitions. The one flaw (if it can be called that) in
Your Dreams and Your Stars is the book's reliance on Melbourne's earlier work,
Dream Interpretation: The Secret, which reveals a method of dream interpretation that circumvents cold readings and dream dictionaries. But when read as a set--
Dream Interpretation: The Secret and
Your Dreams and Your Stars--make a powerful tool for the astrologer with an interest in dream interpretation.
