This is my second favorite dream dictionary after "The Encyclopedia of Dreams: Symbols & Interpretations" by Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Mr. Crisp goes into a little more detail on topics such as colors (he gives many colors and their individual significance in dreams); houses (he breaks it down into rooms, walls, roof, etc.) and animals (many different animals are discussed). I can't understand the bad reviews. I've been interpreting dreams for myself and friends for years, and I love this book and find it indispensible. I highly recommend it if you want to delve further into your subconscious, dreaming mind.
Dream Dictionary was informative but it may have set up the reader to use an actual dictionary because the words in the book were a little complicated for most average readers to understand. All in all I could successfully say that the book was an eye opening into personal feelings and my own personal emotions. I even attempted to analyze a few of my classmates. I have tried to relate the findings of the book to my life and the way I look at it.
