Best resource for dream interpretation
I will admit that I haven't read this book cover to cover, nor have I gone through all the general information on dreams at the beginning, but when I was a teenager in the 80's having many vivid dreams, my father pointed me toward 3 books to help me understand them. Since the 80's, I have accumulated many other books on dreams, but this ONE book is really the only one I need. It is consistently the most on-target of any dream book I've ever read. It has offered me insight and understanding on many, many occasions.

Dream On
A friend of mine, who has psychic dreams, suggested this book to me. I have had lucid dreams since childhood, but have never seen anything close to helpful about the dream state. For the clinician, dreams are mental garbage. For those of us who live with them and use them, they are so much more. I found Part I to be the most helpful, as it describes the various states of sleep now "proven by science to exist" (my quotes, sarcasm intended) so well, an active dreamer clearly wrote this book. They get it! For Part I, I gave the 4-stars, because it really is quite unique in the realm of dream books. It has sections on Nightmares, what your mind/body are doing during sleep, the kinds of dreams (including the dream-within-a-dream), goals, recall and interpretation. My suggestion would be to print just Part I as a separate book for people who are curious about these things, but not necessarily in symbolism distilled through someone else's experiences.

I did not appreciate the references to God, especially the Christian angle, because I don't believe you need a specific god, religion or belief system to be tuned in to your electric mind. The author is brave in this regard, given that many of certain Christian stripes would condemn such a book as so much witchcraft. She gets her props.

As for the actual Dream Dictionary, it is organized somewhat differently than most other Dream Dictionaries. Rather than being an alphabetical listing you flip to, you refer to a major category, (Games and Sports, for example,) and proceed to hunt for what you need. This I found more ponderous than the old-fashioned alphabetical listing, but it is serviceable once you get the hang of it. You may find the chapter on Numbers especially helpful if you tend to have lots of input of this kind, but be forewarned: this is numerology, and if your spiritual sensibilites are easily offended, then you may not want go there. For the dictionary, I'd give it a 3-star, just because I think the good ol' Zolar's Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Dreams is the best choice for exhaustive entries for dream images.

If you're looking for something meatier vis-à-vis the dream state, types of dreams and dream journals, then this is the book for you. That is has a decent dictionary attached to it is a bonus.

The Mystical, Magical, Marvelous World of Dreams
I have been studying dreams seriously since I was a teenager. I have read a lot of books and this book is the BEST AND MOST ACCURATE that I have come across in 30 years. I recommend this book highly for anyone who wants to explore their dreams and find answers. I even have mine tabbed and write notes in it. I have had my book since the mid-90's.

The Mystical Magical Marvelous World of Dreams
I recently purchased this book and find it to be of great help.Just love what I have read and learned so far.
Thank you so much for the insight!!!!!

Great book...disappointing condition
This is one of the best dreams books I have come across. I personally own 2 copies and purchased this copy for a gift. Unfortunately the book arrived in poor condition, pages where turned down, print was blurred on some pages. I was embarrased to give this as a gift, therefore I now own THREE copies of the book.
I think this was an error on the part of the printer, but I think that the book should have been at least "looked at" before it was sent out.
I do plan on returning the book.
