More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Interpreting your dreams can be extremely enlightening, expanding your capacity for awareness and self-understanding, but it should also be entertaining, leaving room for happy discoveries about yourself and your hidden desires. Mario Reading's exhaustive research has drawn on folklore and fine art, superstition and science, and readings of the great psychologists, philosophers and dream interpreters; his interpretations are original, based on readings and extrapolations from the work of all those great dream psychologists, from Plato to Jung and beyond. He reveals the meaning of virtually every symbol known to dream analysts, and includes innumerable strange facts, including dreams that have averted disasters or changed history, dreams from the Bible and other religious texts, and dreams that have influenced films, books, music, art, and popular culture. A unique feature of the book is the scattering throughout the text, of short extracts from poetry, literature, film, and dream diaries that shed an entertaining and often amusing light on the otherwise serious entries. It is an incomparable work of reference.

This review is from: The Watkins Dictionary of Dreams: The Ultimate Resource for Dreamers - with Over 20,000 Entries (Paperback)
When I found Mario Reading's Dictionary of Dreams I recognised it at once as being the book I had recently, subconsiously, been looking out for. For anyone interested in developing a greater understanding of their internal landscape through interpreting their dreams, this is the reference book they need. Mario Reading enables and encourages you to think laterally and cross reference symbols, imagery, objects and emotions present in your dreams. Thus taking you on a journey and giving you a wider vision and understanding of your sub-consious mind. He has also added key line quotations lending the book a grace of its own. A reference book that is a work of art!

An unequalled work of reference - also useful for day dreams,
By Hugo Minney "hugie" (Durham, England) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Watkins Dictionary of Dreams: The Ultimate Resource for Dreamers - with Over 20,000 Entries (Paperback)
The human psyche runs deep, and much of what we do during our waking hours is governed by cultural patterns that we've forgotten all about, and are all the more powerful when they remain in our unconscious.
My first foray into this world was through the History of Culture (Culture Encyclopedia), quickly followed by The Power of Myth. This book is perhaps more comprehensive and yet clearer than the history books, linking the symbols in a less logical and therefore more accessible way (the way the mind works, rather than linear ways. It's probably the best book on interpreting dreams, once you already know the general principles. And before you go racing for a book on general principles, they are far simpler than that: * write dreams down as soon as you wake - keep a notebook for this. Don't start interpreting until you have captured the main points or you will lose track, and if you think of additional details whilst working on the interpretation, add them to your notes * are you reliving (relieving) a difficult situation from the day that's just been, which has no relevance to the future? * do any of the activities and people have a special meaning to you, that may be different from the meaning in the dictionary? Your symbolism should take precedence * as you learn more about symbols from the dictionaries, you will re-use them in dreams. Your subconscious is looking for a language to communicate with you and you're helping with the words * Take everything with a pinch of salt - your subconscious isn't always right (and may have a sense of humour)
