Good info, good research into current and historical thinking on a social and psychological level of dream interpretation giving several different examples and solutions to how one can interpret their own meanings in their dreams.

This book is about dreams ...... and it was really dry and didn't have any type of excitement. i do not recommend it.

I found this book to be useful, even in understanding dreams in Herodotus and such. It was much more science-based then I expected it to be, which was nice. I was thinking it might end up being New Age woo-woo, so that was nice. I will say, reading this book really affected my dreaming and ability to fall asleep. I was so busy thinking about the mechanics of it that I would be thinking way too much and would just be laying there in bed thinking instead of sleeping, which was kinda' the opposite of what the book was supposed to do. The strangeness of how my brain works... Anyway! It was useful, probably not going to keep it, but I'm glad I read it.

Very basic information, not very well-written either. But the part where the author wrote, "The Chinese have a belief that if you're suddenly awakened, you lose part of your soul; that's why to this day, some Chinese are wary of alarm clocks," it sent my sister and I into mad giggles. So overall, I give the book about a C- (good for absolute beginners if they're not looking for great literature), but A+ for its unintentional racism. (At least I hope it was unintentional.)

Great info for any beginner who wants to know more about dreams and how helpful they can be.
