I thought this was the best book on dreams I have yet to encounter. It yields a great introduction to the famous philosophers of dream interpretation and really helped me to understand my dreams better. It is not your average "dream dictionary" I found it more like a useful tool, an eye, if you will, into my own psyche. A quick and vivid read. Great illustrations as well.
