Dream On It...

[Preview the book on Amazon.com]

I recently finished reading, Dream On It: Unlock Your Dreams, Change Your Life by Dream Analyst/ Psychologist Lauri Quinn Loewenberg. It's a comprehensive book about "dream symbols" and what they mean. The book is a straightforward read of collections of real dreams and interpretations (although the writing can be cheesy at times!). I love reading about other people's dreams and Loewenberg is great at helping people understand the craziness of their dreams.

I've learned that dream symbols are interconnected and that is why sometimes while reading this book it felt repetitive, but it makes sense. Our dreams are always telling us something about ourselves. Dreams speak metaphorically and figuratively. This is why they are so bizarre.

I do wish the book had a better balance of positive life events instead those focused on "issues". Although there was a section on death in the nightmare chapter and in the dictionary, I was disappointed that I wasn't able to understand what it means when a deceased loved one appears in a dream.

While, I found this book to be fascinating and only pushed my interest in dream analysis, I'm still not 100% convinced that all of our dreams have a meaning. I think some dreams are just funny and are meant to humor us. Then again, humor in dreams mean something in "waking life" too.

[I recommend.]
