Zolar's Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Dreams

by Zolar

The completely revised and updated edition of the classic, bestselling guide to dream interpretation.

In the first major revision of the encyclopedia that has sold half a million copies worldwide, Zolar, the acclaimed "Dean of Astrology" ( The New Yorker ), has created the indispensable bedside reference for today's dreamers, reflecting the changes that have affected our waking hours and inevitably influence the content and significance of the messages we receive while we sleep. Looking at new cultural trends, work and social patterns, technologies and means of communication, Zolar reveals the meanings of dreams about cell phones, computers, cyberspace, beepers and much more. His concise and incisive explanations of such classic dreams as meeting a redheaded stranger, flying without wings and trying to comfort a crying baby are here as well, while obsolete subjects -- like girdles, gleaners and grenadiers -- have been eliminated. To complement each dream category a lucky number has been added for this new edition.

With interpretations for more than 20,000 dreams, Zolar's Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Dreams offers you the opportunity to uncover the secrets hidden in your dreams and to act on the wisdom -- or respond to the warnings -- they contain.

I've had this book for many years and reference it every so often.
It's typically pretty spot on and fun just to read.

Zolar's definition of dream symbolism is accurate and helpful some of the time, BUT please bear in mind this book was written in the twenties or some other dark age. So if you see a listing under "Jew" that says you will be cheated out of your money or "Negro" means danger awaits, well, you just have to shake your head.

By the way, if you watch "Grey Gardens" little Edie drags a copy of this around with her trusty magnifying glass all through the picture. What better endorsement could you ask for?

Did you know that that dream I had in 1991 about the giant fish strewn across the top of a car might have meant that I was probing the depths of my own spirituality (the fish) while taking a spiritual journey through life (automobile) at the same time?! I don't don't know about you, but to me, it sounds like I could easily have had some sort of spiritual spontaneous combustion at the vortex of the universe. It might also have meant that I would be visited by a family pet.

I bought it for fun because it was on sale and I had been wanting a dream dictionary for a while. I don't know if it's the 'best one out there' or even one of the best, but I really enjoy it, even if I don't take it all as undeniable fact.

it is interesting to read what something should mean. however some things are listed so detailed way and if youre not sure or dont remember details of what you have seen in dreams then meaning of dream so to speak, changes totally.

This book predicts random events - not likely to happen!

I find this book to be the most detailed of its kind.
