My Rating: ★★★★

I received a copy from Wellfleet Press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Interpreting dreams is always fun, so I knew I had to pick up this book and see what it had to say. Inside, there’s various texts on interpreting dreams from Sigmund Freud as well as Gustavus Hindman Miller. Plus, there’s over a thousand interpretations of objects and situations that turn up on our dreams. It covers everything from nightmares about teeth falling out to searching for people or objects.

Some things I dream about have obvious meanings, so I wouldn’t look them up. For example, if I’m looking for the bathroom and something is wrong with the bathroom making it unusable, it’s because I need to use the bathroom and haven’t woken up yet. However, there’s many things that turn up in dreams that I’ll wake up wondering what they mean, and that’s when a resource like this comes in handy. While there’s many possible reasons behind objects and scenarios turning up in dreams, books like this open the door on some of those possible meanings and that’s why it’s great to have a couple books on the topic on hand.
