Dream Dictionary: An A-to-Z Guide to Understanding… von Tony Crisp
Most dream dictionaries are terrible because they use a superstitious approach like "good luck, bad luck" or they pin down the symbols and metaphors with discrete definitions with little basis. This dictionary is not like that and allows room for your imagination to free associate your dreams with myths and symbols and also discusses wordplay and idioms associated with certain symbols that the reader may have not thought of.

Sometimes though they seem so much more, deeply laden with symbols, it feels like our unconscious minds are trying to tell us something, if only we could decipher it. This is where dream dictionaries offer to help, but assuming the symbols mean something, are they unique to each individual dependent on one's experiences growing up, or is there truly a common language?
