The Mystical, Magical, Marvelous World of Dreams by Wilda B. Tanner (1988, Paperback)

This is the one book I have ordered time and time again, for friends, my children, or gifts for those who I meet who happen to be trying to find their way in this world.(Read the intro and tips section.) Tanner uses simple language any aged person can follow, gives both positive and negative connotations for each dream symbol, and encourages you to find the meaning that most resonates with you. I use this book to help me understand more about what every day symbols that come across my path are telling me, as well.

have dreams that cannot be explained by other books. I lucid dream, have talked to Spirits as a result of this books first half's guidance. All My life I have had dreams that guided me through the hardest times of my life, some were confusing and repeated themselves over the years. One such dream let me know my sleep apnea was going to get the best of me. This book, which I have had since it was first on the book shelves, very well may have saved my life. ...Not every book will give you the exact meanings that you mind uses to let you know about things going on in your life, not even this one. BUT! it is the very first book to be 99% right on for me. You must remember dream books are mearly guides which can guide US into a deeper understanding of what we cannot see or what decide to ignore. Our minds choose images we identify with and it is up to us to decide what they truly mean. Wolf, for me, means protection where as most books will use the Red Ridding Hood thery because we grew up with the big bad wolf image thanks to the blindness of the writer of that story... This book chooses this also. The other parts of this book have been my only choosen guide for many years and I have learned waaaay more from this book than the countless other dream books I have bought over the years and I recomend this book above all others. read the first part of this book and keep notes for yourself. Be determined to remember your dreams. Keep a notebook by you bedside along with this book and you will find you way through the confusing parts of you life and be better for it. Of course this is just one dreamer's opinion....

I think its best to create your own dream interpretations based on symbols and meanings in your own life.
