Really interesting and informative, this would be good on almost everyone's bedside table as a good reference book to understand your dreams.
Thank you netgalley

The Complete Guide To Dream Interpretation Is a wonderfully informative book about dream interpret tation. I have read as a late. She goes into detail about her experience with dream and documentation and then goes into explanation about it and how you can do it with only GOD's help - How to identify where it came from, then in the back she put symbols that you could have dreamt and what it means - like Flint = hard, then follows it up with Scripture. Another one is Footstool = GOD's Earth. Isn't this all tremendous? I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

To me this is the best guide to Biblical dream interpretation that I have ever read. It is not overly heavy on the Bible quotes, it has a good balance between a sound Christian foundation and understanding dreams. It is not religious or preachy, it has many examples of people's dreams, which is what makes this book stand out. It dissects different aspects of a dream and gives a simple yet intelligent explanation of symbols. I like that there are different symbol dictionaries and the author is flexible in every situation.

The Complete Guide to Dream Interpretation is a well written, organized guide to dreams for beginners who want to explore the meaning and symbolism in dreams from a Biblical perspective. I really like the dream/vision examples and interpretations that the author, Marsha Trimble Dunstan uses in her book. Her humble explanations make sense to me and the tone is informational and conversational. I learned quite a bit about the symbols in dreams. I like her logical and practical approach to interpreting dreams!

There are two dictionaries for dream symbols included in this book: General Symbols and Theme Symbols. The dictionary of terms is surprisingly large and includes scripture reference so that the reader can turn to the Bible and see the context of how the word is used.

Important: The caution for Christians is an important one: sometimes dreams come from our own minds/souls and sometimes they do not come from God and are meant to lead us astray. Does the message you believe you are receiving line up with God’s word? It is important to test them with scripture and The Holy Spirit.

This book is would be excellent for people who are new to dream interpretation. The author lays out the scriptural basis for dreams and dream interpretation quite well. She also includes a basic dream dictionary which a reader would find helpful.

Sorry, that file could not be located. I couldn't read the book so I can't review it. I keep getting an error message.

We know that God has used dreams to communicate. We see that in the Bible. But what about today?

Dunston is an engineering professional. When she experienced a dream that coincided with a friend's need, she began to investigate dreams and their meanings. She first looked at the secular material and then studied biblical methods of dream interpretation, such as the principles of allegories and symbols. She has been studying and teaching this information for the last two decades.

I like Dunston's thorough investigation into dreams and their meaning. She shares many of her own dreams and how she interpreted them as well as many dreams others have had. It was good to read how she went through the interpretation process with a variety of dreams. I also like how she explained the difference between dreams and visions. Visions are snapshots of actual happenings, either in the present or the future. Dreams are metaphors, symbols, or analogies and one must look at the symbols to determine their meaning.

An extensive dictionary of general symbols for dreams is included, about two thirds of the book, actually. Dunstan does caution that one must first seek guidance from the Holy Spirit before determining the symbolic meaning of dreams. She mentions the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit several times.

The final take I have on this is that one certainly needs to be cautious when it comes to dreams. Many times Dunston suggests that an example dream “might” indicate or “might” mean a certain idea. And she reminds us that some dreams come from our own soul, such as a result of our own intense feelings. Also, Dunston notes that false dreams may be “implanted by a dark spirit.” We should not trust dreams on their own merit, she writes. “There should always be a confirmation from another source.” (86)

This book is for people who believe that God speaks to them today, through His Word primarily but also occasionally through dreams. You'll get some good teaching and lots of resource material to discern and understand the meaning of dreams.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.
