Summary: Better than the title!
Review: The cover and title make this book seem hokey, but it's actually a very insightful look at how dreamsreveal our subconscious thoughts. The listing of symbolic meanings are thoughtful and meaningful. The interpretations are not random and meaningless magic ("If you dream of a snake it means you will get a new job") but instead help us see the possibilities inherent in our own symbol-system ("a snake could represent temptation, as in the Garden of Eden, or it could be a phallic symbol, or it could represent danger, slyness, "a snake in the grass," etc.)
I've looked at a lot of dream interpretation books, and this one is the most sensible and complete. You have to use the index to find what you want, because the symbols are not listed in one alphabetical list but are organized by topics. But that works.

Summary: Best dream book on the market today
Review: There are many dream books on the market, but this one is exceptional because it combines the spiritual aspects of dreams with the benefit of the dream dictionary/symbols. Ms. Tanner has excellent chapters in the book which guide the reader to study and understand his/her dreams. The index can be frustrating because of the categories used, but with patience you can find your dream symbol and have it be accurate to your dream experience. I have studied my dreams for 28 years as well as have a M.A. in counseling and this is my favorite book on dreams.

Summary: The only dream book you will ever need.
Review: This is the dream book I recommend to all my friends and clients. This book covers everything you need to know on how to interpret your dreams. The author also gives the best insight on thousands of dream symbols. I pick up this book daily, not only to help me understand my dreams, but to also look up reoccuring symbols that keep popping up in my life. For instance, if you keep breaking a glass over and over again, you can look up broken glass and see what the deeper meaning is. This book will really help you find the answers you have been looking for through dream study. It helps you get in touch with your own inner guidance and life purpose

Summary: Amazingly Helpful
Review: This is without a doubt the single best dream book published to date. Covering everything from techniques on how to remember your dreams to the smallest detail to which they may entail, even ELVIS!!! It is truly amazing how Wilda Tanner has written in such laymen terms the depths of ones subconscious influence in their dreams. Taking a dream that may seem so black and white and noting the true internalization of it. I highly advise even one with the slightest curiousity pick up a copy.

Summary: THE BEST mundane dream symbol book
Review: Wilda Tanner's book is amazing. If you are just beginning to learn to interpret your dreams this a book that you must get. She defines symbols ranging from animals to clothing to rooms of a house, and many authors do that, but wilda takes it a step further by making distinctions within categories. Not only does she tell us what a shoe means but she distinguishes between boots, slippers, dress shoes, mocassins, nurses shoes, old shoes,sandals,and then also whether we are putting on our shoes, taking them off, losing them, tying them etc... I had never realized that each small action in a dream could mean so much before I read this book. This book is written with heart and is not at all dry. It's easy to use and even now after owning it for six years and having a good understanding of symbols, i still refer to it for insight.
