An interesting reference that covers different ways that have been used to tell fortunes over the years and also a version of what certain aspects of your dreams can mean. There are many different ways to tell fortunes and read dreams depending on the culture that is being referenced. One aspect i would have appreciated in this book is more callbacks to what specific culture this book is using as a reference.

This is very interesting and informative and will no doubt refer to the dream interpretation section more often.

I think an actual book may be easier to read as found the electronic version format had squished a lot together making it tricky to pick the bits out I was looking for.

Thank you to #NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
