“My ultimate goal,
however, is to teach others to find
the meaning in their
own dreams. To do this, I turned
the way I interpret
dreams into a system that
I teach in classes and at national
conferences.”
-Karen Frazier,
Introduction, p. vii
The Dream Interpretation Handbook is a non-fiction reference
for persons who wish to interpret the meanings of their dreams. Karen Frazier
came to teaching dream interpretation after numerous people asked to have their
dreams interpreted. It is well organized and has numerous resources for your
use. Frazier suggests using additional dream dictionaries along with her
teachings for even further understanding would prove useful.
There is information on the different opinions of dream
interpretation from ancient Egyptians, Grecians, Chinese, and Sigmund Freud.
Mention of Carl Jung, Calvin Hall, Jr., Ann Faraday, David Foulkes, and Edgar
Cayce are also included.
The Dream Interpretation Handbook is broken down into two
parts with sub-chapters. Part I-Interpreting Dreams have three chapters: On
Dreaming: The Spiritual and the Scientific; Variations, Archetypes, and
Symbols; The Interpretive Process. Part II-Dream Dictionary: How to Use; Animal;
Items/Things; Plot/Action.
A few things I found was that on an average, you have at least
four to six dreams a night but will not always remember what the dreams were or
remember dreaming. Many people believe the dream of falling and hitting the
ground that you will die. This is an untrue assumption many have believed in for
years. Overall, this is a good book for dream interpretation if you are looking
for such information.
I received this book from Callisto Publishers in exchange for
an honest review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.
