[Cecelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this! I got it a few years ago for my birthday from my grandpa (r.i.p ♥) and I have used it ever since as an informational guide. I dream numerous times each night and this book has really made me realize and be confronted with how I feel and it lets me discover why.

I love the simple yet information-packed descriptions. I've never not seen a symbol in that book that I have encountered in my dreams.

A fairly rudimentary dictionary of dreams. How useful it will be remains to be tested.

[Timothy Elliott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an excellent choice when it comes to trying to interpret the symbolism you'll find in your dreams. I've had the book for a few years now and after having "one of those kind of dreams" I've used it to get an idea of the dreams meaning.

Really, I stumbled on this little gem in a used book store one day and sat reading it for about 15 minutes while sitting on the store floor. I'd been looking for a dream interpretation book which made sense and all of the ones that I'd seen in the local Barnes and Nobel and Bookstop at the time I was less than impressed with. With this book really being one to make sense I purchased it and couldn't be more happy with it.

Of course, the meaning of your dream I wouldn't be able to necessarily tell you what it means as it is fairly a subjective thing, however, this book is general enough and gives several examples of what the specific symbols might mean to you.

But as always, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
