Be Your Own Dream Interpreter:
Don't let the "Complete Idiot's Guide" designation fool you: This is the book for anybody who is intellectually curious enough to try and raise their awareness about the significance of dreaming life which co-authors Eve Adamson and Gayle Williamson assure us is the shadow side of our waking life, enigmatic symbolism and all. Neatly segmented into the concise style of popular reference dictionaries, the Dream Dictionary lets inquirers go as deeply into the labyrinth of their dreams as they want; the entries are less occultish than is true of some other dictionaries yet intruiging for their emphasis on the elements of fear and desire, "universal truths" that bind humanity after the waking hours. Adamson and Williamson write invitingly about the benefits of dream journaling and preparing the body for sleep in anticipation of lucid, creative dreaming or just opening the mind to the possibilities of getting those answers to problems that linger below the limn of consciousness. As a user-friendly guide, the CIG Dream Dictionary promotes self-understanding with due homage to the cosmos of archetypes in a book that enables the reader to play a sharp detective with their dreams. Adamson's lively prose is a joyful bonus and helps make this book a bedside companion worthy of its dog-eared place at your side.

A basic book with not much substance on dreams:
I have a number of dream books, but this one was okay and very basic. The explanations of dream symbols were very short and did not give you much insight nor the tools needed to analyse your dreams in depth. It is a basic dream book and I would rate it average.

Idiot's Dream Guide:
This is the most comprehensive dream book I've seen. Very informative and easy to read.
