Product Description
Product Description
We all dream - although we don't always remember our dreams - and most of us have an insatiable curiosity as to the meaning of dreams. This classic collection of dream interpretations is based on the work of Raphael and other celebrated writers on the subject. Every imaginable dream is included here, from aches in the abdomen to encounters with zebras - with some very unexpected and unusual dreams on the way. Interpretations are given for the situation and circumstances in which the dreams occur. Flying dreams, for instance, can be interpreted in many different ways, depending on how and where the dreamer is flying - and whether or not they are flying with difficulty?

I've had this book for years, since I was a teen. back then I was really into dream interpretation and as an impressionable youngster thought that the meanings in this book must be correct. however I soon got tired of the book as every other thing you dream of seems to fortell death, disease, your spouse leaving you or crops failing... most of the symbols do not in anyway relate to the supposed meaning, and the meanings seem to have been recycled from a different era; as though the author read a book from the 1800's and didn't even care whether the meaning was relevant to the present day.
So after not too long the book got abandoned, shoved under the bed or some other place where all unused items congregate. However this morning I pulled it out again, on a whim that it might offer some clarity on a symbol the has frequented my dreams recently... and guess what the meanings is....
"denotes loss of your sweetheart and death of some near relation or friend. it is an unfavourable dream and signifies that your present pursuits will not be to your advantage. you would do well to move on."
and the symbol was 'Dolphin'! How the author can get that pile of rubbish from dreaming of dolphins I don't know.
do yourself a favour DO NOT buy this book. Get a book by someone who knows what they are talking about!

This book is a great introduction to the meaning of dreams. My friend bought it for me after I kept talking about my wacky reaccuring dreams and, guess what, it did have a meaning. I've keep the book at work and my colleagues are always coming over to refer to the dream book - we've had great fun finding out what dreaming of dogs, elephants, flying, water, rooms, houses all mean. It's not in depth but I think it's like reading your stars, you take from it what you want.

I was hoping for a gentle introduction to the psychology and interpretation of dreams, especially in terms of the mind of the dreamer.
Instead I got a mish mash of quite bizarre 'interpretations' quite often referring to the future. If I wanted this kind of tosh I'd just read the stars in the newspaper everyday. How dreaming of a Christmas tree can possibly be 'interpreted' as meaning you will meet somebody, under the holly, who you've never spoken to before, who will also end up marrying you and enjoying a very long and happy union, is beyond me.
If you're looking for a serious, narrative based look at the importance of dreams - avoid this like the plague.

A book to tell you what really lies behind your dreams. Why do you dream of certain things...This book tells you why!

Leave it on the bookshelf...
I've always been a keen interpreter of dreams, and this book was given to me as a present. I have to say, it is unfortunately the worst dream book that I have ever owned. Read more

Very accurate
If you are very sensitive this is not a dream book for you as many of the symbols do represent, e.g death of a relationship etc. It is not light hearted. Read more

Not good enough
It says it's the Complete Book of Dreams, but it's far, far from being complete. I can never find half the keywords that I need in it to interprete my dreams. Read more
