Loved this audio book.... With the ability to target your own dreams you're able to use the creative resources of your brain. Delaney's modern dream interpretation system helps you understand what your dreaming brain is trying to tell you. I found it facsinating and it has opened up a whole new world of creative thinking!

I've been analysing dreams for strangers for quite some time and just now came across Delaney's book. Her methods are sound and what I have been telling people for years - dream symbols are very personal and in the end only the dreamer truly knows that they mean.

I took away one star because I've been proving for quite some time that it is possible to "interpret" dreams for others. The success depends upon how much common experience the translator has with the dreamer. This is not something that can be assumed - anyone can have a different take on things.

You also cannot just throw out the work of those who have gone before. I share similar opinions of Freud with the author, but to completely discount his work is a mistake. Remember that he was the springboard upon which Jung based his own dream theories - and Jung's archetypes are still very useful for dream analysis.

Still in all, Delaney has provided a very easy-to-follow guide for dreamers, and I learned a couple of things from her - particularly useful are the interview methods. Those who enjoy this work might also find value in "Creative Dreaming" (you can search for it here).

Worth your time. I only wish I could also teach a class on this.
