Rating:  Summary: This book is a must for SERIOUS dream analyzers. Review: Analyzing dreams is my main hobby, so when I say that this book is the best I've ever seen, you know I'm serious. If you like details, then you want Tanner's dream book. She has included a lot of very common objects that I've yet to find in other dream books, and with excellent,sensible definitions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is really serious about dream analysis.
Rating:  Summary: Amazingly Accurate Review: As a general skeptic in the world of "spiritual interpretation," I didn't expect to get so much out of this book. However, I felt that Wilda B. Tanner offered a thorough, accurate description of dream symbols. Every time I look up a specific symbol is ALWAYS gives me true insight to how I feel, so often that it cannot just be coincidence.
Rating:  Summary: Fun and Insightful Review: By combining basic psychological explanations with interpretive meanings for dream symbols, this book provides a good balance for those who wish to understand their dreams and themselves without delving into a lot of technical jargon. Or, the archaic and downright hilarious guides, as in the "dreaming of a teapot means a Gypsy will steal your cow" sort. This one does explain that the possible interpretations are subject to the dreamer's own associations, which is the first thing we need to know about dreams. It gives a good range of symbols and is one of the best of its type that I've seen. The basis for the psychology is Jungian, which is simply way more fun for dream interpretive work than Freudian. By the way, there's nothing wrong with approaching dream interpretation with a sense of fun; dreams aren't always weighty psychological things, and we're missing a lot of the entertainment that our minds can provide if we disregard our dreams.
Rating:  Summary: Not for me. Review: I guess I should blame myself for buying a book titled "Mystical Magical.." when what I was looking for was a serious book based on facts and experience. In this book dreams are often interpreted as messages from God or memories of past lifes. I am an not a christian nor a hindu, so this is meaningless to me. The dream topic "cleaning yourself" can mean you have to "clean up your act" and "driving" can mean "you drive yourself". These interpretions only work for the english language. Being norwegian, this also becoms meaningless to me. It also leads me to think that the author has done little reaserch before writing this book. This book has no credibility and is of little use to me.

Rating:  Summary: BEST THERE IS! Review: I have bought many books on this subject that disapointed me. Not this one. Even the most confusing of dreams came to light using this book. I have bought it several times to give it to someone who was having troubled dreams to hear "This is great!" I recommend it over all other dream books I have read...
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic reference to interpret your dreams. Review: I have found this book to be incredibly helpful when trying to figure out what a particular dream meant. Ms. Tanner does not force you into her interpretation of each symbol but gives you enough possibilities to the meaning that I always come away knowing what message my dreams are trying to tell me. I have shared this book with many friends and co-workers who also find it valid for their own experiences.
Rating:  Summary: The Most Complete and Understandable Dream Book Ever! Review: I personally spent a weekend or two with Wilda many years ago at "A GATHERING". She is a beautiful spirit that truly wants to help us all learn from our dreams. I cannot count the number of books I have given as gifts to family, friends and students. Spirit works with each of us to design a series of symbols to help us on our journeys. Many times, the only time we are quiet is when we sleep. This is a time of great opportunity to give us guidance and anwers to life's questions. This book will be opened again and again as the doors to answers also open. God Bless you Wilda
Rating:  Summary: Best dream book EVER!!! Review: It tells me exactly what is going on in my life, just by telling me about my dreams. It is the most extensive research of dreams that I have ever seen or heard of. I would suggest this book any day.
Rating:  Summary: BEST DREAM BOOK YOU CAN GET Review: Most dream books are written with the definition of objects/subjects as absolutes and that there is no other description to include or suggest. This makes these other dream books too rigid and orthodox which is frustrating. Tanner gives a comprehensive view of each subject, including the all important spiritual aspects (which other books usually ignore). Tanner teaches you how to figure out what certain things may mean to just you and not another dreamer. She helps you figure out what your nightmares mean as well. She writes as a sensitive but informative teacher and guide. If you are intrigued by your dreams, she really helps you along to figure out the possibilities of what YOUR dreams mean to YOU.
