3.0 out of 5 stars Heidi's Review, August 14, 2004

By	Heidi (Warren, Michigan) - See all my reviews

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this book. I thought it was going to be a "dictionary". There was a lot more to this book. McPhee had examples of dreams from his radio show and website. This book made me realize that dreams can be easily interpreted yourself, that you don't need any other kind of dream dictionary book. Every other dream dictionary book I've read said if the dreams were warnings and acted as if dreams are premonitions. However, this book is different, it's more down to earth and fascinating. A great tool if you want to understand your deepest or not so deep dreams!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dream Doctor Review, July 21, 2003

By	DENISE TAYLOR (WEST JORDAN, UTAH United States) - See all my reviews

I have been interested in dreams for a long time and have bought many dream books. I love Charles Mcphee's book Ask The Dream Doctor because he has collected a good variety of dreams and interpreted them so anyone can understand them. He also gives a good, all around meaning of each symbol before each dream topic. The book is also very easy to read.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about dream interpretation!

He also does radio shows where people call in with their dreams and get them interpreted - if you have a chance to listen, they are really fun and informative!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book I have ever Read, August 14, 2002

By	Nicole (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I loved this book... I bought it last night and stayed up ALL
night reading it. I hope that Mr McPhee will come out with more
because I must say, I have never read a book like this and I have a lot, I mean a lot of Dream Interpretation books & dictionaries. I wanted to study dreams when I was going to college but I never got around to it.

Not only is this book amazing but the radio show he has is excellent. You can listen to older scenarios and everything.
is where to find him.

Thank you for making such a great book Charles Lambert McPhee
