not for me

Review by Kristina Heathcote, 2010-08-18

dont waste your money. there are far better dream books out there. i bought this for my kindle because it looked promising. it lacks the origins of a lot of the definitions which leaves me to question where they came from.

A Deeper Understanding of the Unconscious Mind

Review by Rebecca Johnson, 2010-07-22

In my dream I'm following a beautiful woman up a ladder leaning against a house. She has said there is a room for me but as I'm climbing the ladder I look up and see that I will only be able to go through a small opening in the wall without my suitcase. At first I thought this meant that I will never "reach the top of some field" because I have "too much baggage." But that is not what this book says. That was too obvious, apparently.

Here is what the book says:

House - Someone else's home; what you sense as the attitudes and atmosphere - or the situation prevailing in that home.

Ladder - Your feelings - whether anxious or secure - about reaching situations or opportunities in life that are new, presently out of reach, or not easily attained; attainment through effort and daring; the heightening of insecurity, anxiety...

Suitcase - The womb; what one carries inside oneself, such as longings, attitudes, fears; how we see ourselves socially - the luggage might be a sign of status, how we rate ourself; also a symbol of independence or going somewhere; what we are hiding from others, or what others cannot see; a secret and perhaps dangerous thing, but certainly often unknown. See bag.

Woman - A woman in a woman's dream: an embodiment of what you deeply need, fear, hope for, or avoid. What the woman is doing in the dream gives a clue to what the need, feeling, or fear is.

Since I keep dreaming of places to live and since most of my dreams before were indicating that I was lost and couldn't find a home, this dream seems to be saying that I've found a place to call home but perhaps I need to leave my fears behind.

The same night I also dreamt of a cat but the cat was injured and needed to be taken to the vet. The book says: "Jungians see the cat as representing a deep psychological secret, a hidden side of one's nature." It also states: "...cats are a substitute baby, it is therefore used in many dreams to represent a woman's urge or need to care for someone."

This book is fairly easy to use except in some cases where you are required to look something up twice. Like when I looked up cat it sent me to "animals." The opposite is often true, like if you are looking up family relationships you will find that "widow" is something you need to look up again, it is not included under the general heading. If you are looking up parts of a house you also have to look under "house, buildings." You can't just look up "windows." This may frustrate some users but after a while you get used to how the book works.

I have found that this book always has the dream symbols I need to look up. Without fail, this book has brought me to a greater understanding of my dreams. If you are looking for books on dream interpretation, I'd start here.

very general

Review by E. Courtney, 2009-11-04

though i have found many of the dictionary explanations dead on and provocative, i feel its lacking seemingly obvious topics.

Not all that

Review by Sandra B. G., 2009-10-29

At first I thought it was a great book, but then as I look up "eyes" or another word it will say "Go to bla bla bla" and you find yourself playing a game with this book. Purchase another book about dreams, not this one.

The Standard in Dream Interpretation Books

Review by Friend, 2009-09-17

I first became interested in dream interpretation over thirty years ago and over the years have attended workshops and collected a shelf full of books on the subject of sleep, dreams and dreaming. The one I always turn to first is Tony Crisp's Dream Dictionary.

It's easy to say this is the best, but if you are interested in understanding and interpreting your dreams, this is the standard by which all other dream books are measured. It's an easy read and you will get enormous insight into your dreams.
