I picked this book up on a bargain bin again. 30% off 14.95, and I'm a sucker for these little dream encyclopedias. I admit it, most of them turn out to be crap. But I keep buying them anyways. I think I've gotten a little pickier, but I suspect my wife would disagree. When I picked this one up she said "you'll never read that anyway, it will just sit on the shelf."
"nah-uh" I said, summoning all my intellectual powers of retort, "I'll start it tonight in fact".
So I bought the book, and I'm starting it tonight.
Here's the publishers blurb;
"Discover why you dream and the magical meanings behind your sleeping symbols. Learn how to keep a dream notebook, create dream spells and magical sleep formulas, and how to tell the future and make wishes come true. The extensive A-Z dictionary includes updated definitions for the new millennium.

I admit, I'm dissapointed in the bok so far. My wife will end up being right. I've read up to the point where it starts defining symbols. So far it has classified dream types. They used broad ill defined classes. The information was introductory at best and carried no weight of authority, but rather felt like someone who sat down and just gave it their best guess from the top of their head.
The best Dream Books I've read find a balance between the scientific and the spiritual. This book has very little of the scientific behind it.
I'll finish it, but I think it's safe to say already that it's not going to be one that I'd recommend.
