This to me is the bible of dream books, in that, you can re-read it and gain more knowledge and retain more information each time. It is totally approachable. It does not try to convince the reader of anything, but rather invites a person to explore interesting and helping ideas and information. It has transformed the way I interact with my dreams and dream journal. It encourages the dreamer to use their intuition and life knowledge to uncover the wondering mysteries of their dreams. So great! Would highly recommend!

There are many theories on the purpose of dreams. Some people believe dreams are just the garbage remnants of the day. Others believe that dreams are a connection between the spiritual world and the physical world. Dr. Quattrocchi believes that dreams are a mechanism that can be used to practice different parts of our life. For instance, if an individual is having trouble ending a difficult relationship, he or she might find that his or her dreams are actually represent working through the process to come up with a strategy that he or she could actually use in the real world.

Dreamwork Uncovered challenges the reader to take a closer look at what his or her dreams might be telling them. Using a dream diary, the reader is to look for reoccurring themes or symbols that indicate problems that they are trying to solve or hidden issues that they might not know exist. The reader can then learn to use dreaming as a tool to help them through such difficulties and come up with ways to solve their issues.

The book Dreamwork Uncovered is an easy to read resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of dreams. This book provides a unique perspective on dream analysis and wonderfully illustrates how dreams help us work through various issues we may be facing or help us prepare for what's to come. Practical ways of engaging in dreamwork are discussed, such as how to remember dreams and how to keep a dream journal. This book has helped me not only remember my dreams, but understand the meaning behind them. I've read this book a few times already, making new connections each time. Understanding our dreams, the author shows us, deepens our connection to spirit, and brings more clarity and joy to our lives.

This book is an amazing read. The writer has a special way of explaining the complexities of our dreams in an easy to understand manner using examples from real dreams. The reader is encouraged to apply the concepts in a self-help format where we learn to improve our lives by reflecting and interpreting our own dreams. Once finished, you will want to return to it as a reference.
