Summary: The Critics Speak....
Review: From VOYA This highly accessible and easy-to-read guide to dreams and their interpretation for young adults is arranged into three sections that are equally stimulating and informative. Some of the intriguing topics in part one include nightmares, prophetic dreams, freaky dreams, dying in your dreams, famous dreamers, sleepwalking, and sex and dreams. Part two offers a sometimes humorous analysis of nineteen different "weird dreams," such as "The One Where the Mushroom Grows Out of My Face," "The One Where I Kiss My Boyfriend, Then Get Hit by a Truck," "The One Where My Parents Throw Me Off a Cliff," and the ever-popular, "The One Where All My Teeth Fall Out." The book concludes with a do-it-yourself section for those interested in starting a dream journal, learning how to lucid dream, and developing an inner eye for self-analysis. Although teeming with fun facts, fascinating statistics, and relevant quotes, the appealing page layouts are not overfilled with cartoons and sidebars. Especially appealing is how Shaw made convenient use of his own dreams and personal experiences regarding the issues presented, infusing an otherwise flat study with a rather jovial and inviting voice. This technique not only helps give examples of the various concepts he introduces but also provides the necessary variety to the instructional narrative. With its wide appeal, this above-average and scintillating book is a recommended purchase for all public and school libraries. VOYA CODES: 4Q 4P M J S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Broad general YA appeal; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9; Senior High, defined as grades 10 to 12). 2000, AlloyBooks/Penguin, 160p, Illus, Charts, Trade pb.

Summary: An okay book for the most part...
Review: Have you ever wondered about the history of dreams? What something meant in your dream? Or maybe even wondered about the weird dreams other people have had? This book includes all of this and some more...I have read some books on dreams, but never really been able to get such an insight on them. It tells you everything about dreams and even special things to help you remember them. I thought my dreams were weird! Wait until you read some of the ones that are in this book! After buying this book I immediately started to read it and couldn't put it down. This book gave me a lot of knowledge such as "How come I had the same dream as my friend last night?" and about sleepwalking bizarre dreams, etc. Though I think they could have included a little more in it. I felt that somethings were missing. I reccomend this book for anyone who wants to really get inside their dreams!

Review: I've never really been a big dream freak until I had this one dream about playing tennis against both Williams sisters at the same time...and winning! I learned a lot from this book--and for $6, that's cool with me.

Summary: so-so
Review: This book is ok. It's not exactly the enrapturing saga that you may expect (yea right) but it is authored (sorta) by T.S., who also co-sorta-authors another, more interesting alloy book, '...any advice?' featuring the most interesting dillema's ever asked to alloy. I wouldn't buy it, (which i did, big mistake) but i would borrow it from a library. a one time use.
