Ever since I can remember I have nightmares. Sometimes so many that I wake up exhausted. But what to do? I'm not a bad sleeper, on the contrary. Well, this book provided me with a better insight in myself. Why I have these 'toxic dreams' and what I could do about it.
I will not say this book 'cured' me of my dreams, but having a better understanding already helps a lot. Plus, the book is very well written and interesting and a please to read even for people who do not have terrible dreams - there are lots of nice dreams that try to tell you something too.
Thank you BooksGoSocial and Netgalley for this book.
Thank you BooksGoSocial and Netgalley for this ARC in return for my honest review.
This book helps the reader learn how to use symbols in their dreams to put meaning into their life. The book had good information and was informative.
I used this book this morning to interpret last nights dream meaning. Over the years I have used many dream dictionarys and while the information in this one was good I found it very clunky to use and ended up giving up finishing my dream interpretation. For example I searched for yellow but i could not get a link to take me to yellow directly, only to derivatives of yellow. eventually after a few unsuccessful searches I just scrolled to end of book and found it where it should be! Perhaps reading this as a hard copy book would be a more enjoyable option.
Overall the content was good but this was let down by the ease to use.
I rate this book 3.5 stars.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.
Am so glad I got this book, the author explained in detail how to use this book to help you understand how to interpret your dreams and your personal meaning of them. Because the meaning of our dreams is more than just the obvious, I can’t wait to use this to interpret all my dreams...... a great book to have in your collection
This book you won’t need to read from the first till last page. You wake up and you find the key dream words in the dictionary (if you remember the dream, of course.). I don’t think it’s exactly easy to find the meanings behind the dreams, there many of them for each symbol, but I just can’t wait to analyze more of my next dreams.
The Curious Dreamer 's Dream Dictionary
Pretty much has all in one and how to really interpret dreams. Very informative.
Thanks to NetGalley for an advance read for opinion.
Wow, this book is really detailed with a lot of information of what your dream's might mean. I will use it for now on when I want to know what my dream meant. Check it out!
For quite some time my partner and I have shared our dreams and made some half-hearted attempts to understand what they mean. Honestly, it has been more of a humorous endeavor than one designed to provide any useful insights. Without any kind of guide, we've just made up some pretty funny interpretations(that no one else would probably think were even mildly amusing). Last year I started to casually look in bookstores for some type of dream interpretation guide to see if maybe we could actually learn something( and not just crack up after sharing our wacky dreams).
This book was a very informative read and quite easy to follow. There is an alphabetical symbols section that lets you look up things that happened in your dream. Whether your dream included a cake, a crow, or a dog, there is a paragraph describing the meaning as well as a “See also” suggestion(an example for Dog would be Animal, Pet, Wolf, Coyote, and Fox). Once I identified the major symbols in my dream, it was interesting to look up the various symbols, almost like putting together puzzle pieces. I am looking forward to referring to this guide in the future to see what I can learn about myself. A good reference guide( there are over 1000 symbols) if you have any interest in dream interpretation.
I received a DRC from Books Go Social through NetGalley.
The author managed to fit a lot of information in an easy to navigate book. I have read a lot of books on dreams, but found that this one included information I had not heard before.
The author's stated purpose of this valuable book is for the reader to be able to unlock the hidden meaning of dreams. They're just sitting there waiting. The answers derived from that can be a life-changing experience. This well-written prose offers many explanations and answers to the messages contained within our dreams. Confusion cast aside, the information was presented in an easy-to-read order. I recommend that consulting this book would be well worth anyone's time. It will serve as my bedside resource for dream interpretation.
Many a time I've awoken from a seemingly psychedelic dream. Taken as they are, they make little sense. The main storyline, if there is one typically seems to run amok. Usually what's remembered are the bits and pieces of it - the fragments that stand out - the clues. These are the symbols that lead to the true meaning. Interpreting symbolism within a dream is the first step to recognition of what it is trying to tell you. It's like putting a puzzle together. With the right tools, it can be done.
In friendly alphabetical order, there are over fifteen hundred symbols to choose from. For example, if you remember a dog being in your dream, then simply look up 'dog'. From there you will find examples of how it may interrelate within your life. That's a starting point. It could also be a trigger point. It might lead you to remember running. Go to 'running'. Now it's beginning to come together. It's that simple. You'd be surprised the information you could glean from this tutorial.
I offer my thanks to NetGalley and BookGoSocial for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
The curious dreamer's dream dictionary is a companion book to another book written by Nancy Wagman, The Curious Dreamer’s Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation, It doesn't have to be read together as it reads as a standalone book. Its the sort of book which is great to have on the book shelf so you can dip in and out of it when you have a vivid dream. I don't think it is as concise as some books I've read but if its something you are interested in then definitely give it a go.
Pay attention to your dreams and they can change life. If you can just figure out what they mean, Like a personal dream coach, this book walks you step by step through interpreting your dream, finding the value in it, and using it to make positive changes in your life. You may be surprised by the answers to questions such as weather your dream is likely to come true, this book teaches you to understand them and unlock their transformative power.
I have always interpreted my own dreams, but I also, have several dream books that I consult from time to time, especially if I have doubts.. This is one of the most reader friendly books I have ever used. The index makes looking for a specific topic easy. When you find what you are looking for, it is explained in terms anyone can follow. I was very impressed with the author taking time to explore the subject one may see in a dream. If anyone is looking for a very usable book about dreams, this is the book for you. I received this book from Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a honest review and no compensation otherwise. The opinions expressed are my own.
Not exactly what I was expecting. I've seen other dream books and had sort of expected to find an alphabetical listing of dream subjects. I did look through it and found some interesting ideas for interpreting dreams, but it all seems far more complicated than a quick read would allow. I think I like the alphabetical format more, but will spend some time with this book to find out how it works. I also am led to believe this is a companion book to another dream book? Not sure, but maybe one needs both to work them? Dream books are always welcome in my life , as I am sure, many others, will enjoy them, as well.!
