I have just about every dream book available and this one is by far the most useful. Dening's approachis unique in that she suggests several possible meanings for each of the common dream symbols and explains how to identify the most appropriate one. I now understand the meaning of a recurring nightmare that has bothered me for years - so for me this is a great self-help book. If you are interested in your dreams I guarantee that you, too, will find it indispensable.
