Gypsy Dream Dictionary

by Raymond Buckland, Christine Snow (Editor)

Everybody dreams. Some people remember dreams more readily that others, but everyone dreams. Chances are you remember a recent one. And there are probably several other past dreams that stick in your mind, too. But are dreams just the mind at play? No. They have meaning. The problem is, the meaning is in the symbols found in the dream. To fully understand the dream you have to understand its symbols. And one of the best ways to do this is by using Ray Buckland's Gypsy Dream Dictionary (an expanded version of Secrets of Gypsy Dream Reading ). The meanings of over 850 different symbols that commonly appear in dreams are given. Did you dream of a wide, straight road? That means things will come to you easily. Did you dream of a grasshopper? That is a bad sign, indicating financial losses to come. Did you dream of yourself wielding an axe? That means you are respected for your position. You will also learn how to pick the important symbols from your dreams in order to interpret them. If this book just gave the meanings of dreams, it could prove vitally important to your spiritual development. But it goes beyond that and provides a basic introduction to dream sciences. In this book, you will learn the secrets of how to recognize prophetic dreams and how to make money with your dreaming abilities. You will also learn how to enjoy the experience of knowing that you are dreaming (lucid dreaming). This book has been updated to include some important symbols which wouldn't have even been considered years ago. From TV to the internet, movies to computers, it's all here! Now is the time for you to find out what your dreams mean. They could save your life or help you reach financial stability. Don't you think you need to find out the secrets of what is going on in your head for one-third of your life, the time you spend asleep? Then you owe it to yourself to get this book.

About the author

Raymond Buckland was a highly influential figure in the development of modern Wicca and the occult in the United States. Born in London, he became interested in the supernatural at an early age and was initiated into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition in 1963 by Monique Wilson, a high priestess appointed by Gerald Gardner. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Buckland introduced Gardnerian Wicca to the country, founding its first coven in New York in 1964. He later developed his own tradition, Seax-Wica, inspired by Anglo-Saxon paganism, and published The Tree: Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft to make it accessible to all.
In 1968, he established the first Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the U.S., which helped normalize and educate the public about Wicca. Over the course of his career, Buckland wrote more than sixty books on Wicca, divination, and the occult, including Witchcraft from the Inside and Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, both regarded as essential texts in Neopaganism.
Throughout his life, Buckland remained a prolific teacher, writer, and practitioner. He continued to write and teach until his death in 2017, leaving behind a lasting legacy that shaped the spiritual practices of countless Wiccans and Pagans worldwide.
