Summary: Best book on dream interpretation
Review: This is one of the most effective guides to dream interpretation that I've seen. Gendlin is a humanistic psychologist, a contemporary of Carl Rogers, and he's still around. He runs the Focusing Institute in New York and has also written a groundbreaking book titled, simply, Focusing. It is this technique of focusing - of developing a sensitivity to the physical, felt sense in the body - that marks this approach to dream interpretation as both simple and unique. In my years of interpretation, I feel that this approach of sensing one's way to a correct interpretation is far superior to pure analysis. The felt sense provides an inner foundation and a guideline for forming a right interpretation.

Gendlin also describes bias controls, which I also find very helpful in eliminating prejudices and wishful thinking from my interpretations. And his systematic charting of the various ways to approach dream interpretation is a good overall framework that anyone can use to interpret dreams.
