Not exactly what I was expecting. I've seen other dream books and had sort of expected to find an alphabetical listing of dream subjects. I did look through it and found some interesting ideas for interpreting dreams, but it all seems far more complicated than a quick read would allow. I think I like the alphabetical format more, but will spend some time with this book to find out how it works. I also am led to believe this is a companion book to another dream book? Not sure, but maybe one needs both to work them? Dream books are always welcome in my life , as I am sure, many others, will enjoy them, as well.!

I have always interpreted my own dreams, but I also, have several dream books that I consult from time to time, especially if I have doubts.. This is one of the most reader friendly books I have ever used. The index makes looking for a specific topic easy. When you find what you are looking for, it is explained in terms anyone can follow. I was very impressed with the author taking time to explore the subject one may see in a dream. If anyone is looking for a very usable book about dreams, this is the book for you. I received this book from Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a honest review and no compensation otherwise. The opinions expressed are my own.

Pay attention to your dreams and they can change life. If you can just figure out what they mean, Like a personal dream coach, this book walks you step by step through interpreting your dream, finding the value in it, and using it to make positive changes in your life. You may be surprised by the answers to questions such as weather your dream is likely to come true, this book teaches you to understand them and unlock their transformative power.

The curious dreamer's dream dictionary is a companion book to another book written by Nancy Wagman, The Curious Dreamer’s Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation, It doesn't have to be read together as it reads as a standalone book. Its the sort of book which is great to have on the book shelf so you can dip in and out of it when you have a vivid dream. I don't think it is as concise as some books I've read but if its something you are interested in then definitely give it a go.

This book is an a excellent reasource for those interested in understand what your dreams are trying to tell you, it give sound examples of hw to interpret your dreams and the symbol int hem in several ways.

I got this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The author's stated purpose of this valuable book is for the reader to be able to unlock the hidden meaning of dreams. They're just sitting there waiting. The answers derived from that can be a life-changing experience. This well-written prose offers many explanations and answers to the messages contained within our dreams. Confusion cast aside, the information was presented in an easy-to-read order. I recommend that consulting this book would be well worth anyone's time. It will serve as my bedside resource for dream interpretation.

Many a time I've awoken from a seemingly psychedelic dream. Taken as they are, they make little sense. The main storyline, if there is one typically seems to run amok. Usually what's remembered are the bits and pieces of it - the fragments that stand out - the clues. These are the symbols that lead to the true meaning. Interpreting symbolism within a dream is the first step to recognition of what it is trying to tell you. It's like putting a puzzle together. With the right tools, it can be done.

In friendly alphabetical order, there are over fifteen hundred symbols to choose from. For example, if you remember a dog being in your dream, then simply look up 'dog'. From there you will find examples of how it may interrelate within your life. That's a starting point. It could also be a trigger point. It might lead you to remember running. Go to 'running'. Now it's beginning to come together. It's that simple. You'd be surprised the information you could glean from this tutorial.

I offer my thanks to NetGalley and BookGoSocial for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

To be able to consult a well established source to unlock the hidden meanings of the musings in our heads as we slumber is something we all seek.
The author has encapsulated a wide range of meanings and circumstances to uncover the answers to our dreams whether they be recurrent, sudden or of the nightmare variety.
Alphabetically ordered there are fifteen hundred symbols to choose from to recognise the dreams meaning.
For example if you continuously had a dream about water then you would look up the water symbol and how that correlates to your life.
Just like piecing a puzzle together each relevant to your dream can be unravelled with meanings as you put your puzzle together.
The solid examples of how to interpret your dreams & the symbols is easily followed and simply formatted for ease.
Dream interpretation is subjective however I found this to be one well rounded & stocked resource for my dream interpretation.
4 stars

The author managed to fit a lot of information in an easy to navigate book. I have read a lot of books on dreams, but found that this one included information I had not heard before.

For quite some time my partner and I have shared our dreams and made some half-hearted attempts to understand what they mean. Honestly, it has been more of a humorous endeavor than one designed to provide any useful insights. Without any kind of guide, we've just made up some pretty funny interpretations(that no one else would probably think were even mildly amusing). Last year I started to casually look in bookstores for some type of dream interpretation guide to see if maybe we could actually learn something( and not just crack up after sharing our wacky dreams).
This book was a very informative read and quite easy to follow. There is an alphabetical symbols section that lets you look up things that happened in your dream. Whether your dream included a cake, a crow, or a dog, there is a paragraph describing the meaning as well as a “See also” suggestion(an example for Dog would be Animal, Pet, Wolf, Coyote, and Fox). Once I identified the major symbols in my dream, it was interesting to look up the various symbols, almost like putting together puzzle pieces. I am looking forward to referring to this guide in the future to see what I can learn about myself. A good reference guide( there are over 1000 symbols) if you have any interest in dream interpretation.
I received a DRC from Books Go Social through NetGalley.

Wow, this book is really detailed with a lot of information of what your dream's might mean. I will use it for now on when I want to know what my dream meant. Check it out!

I have needed a dream dictionary, for my writing and also for the occasional dream that I want to analyze. The guide is meant to accompany and enhance "The Curious Dreamer's Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation" but it also works well as a standalone.

When the author mentioned that the book's style is intended to make it easy to read and understand, I was extremely happy to see how right she was. The guide is organized into 3 sections followed by an index of symbols:

Part 1: How to Find Dream Symbol Meaning
~Tips and into to help start the process and also make the most out of this book~

Part 2: Symbol Categories
~Similar symbols are grouped together such as~
Emotions, colors, people, activities, animals, objects

Part 3: Symbols
~Over 1500 descriptions and possible meanings~,

Part 4: Symbol Index
~Comprehensive list (including additional names)~

In addition, a later chapter provides links to useful sites. I would recommend this to writers (this guide makes injecting your writing with symbolism a breeze) and anyone interested in dream interpretation.

📖I was given this review copy by Netgalley and BooksGoSocial in exchange for my honest review.📚

This book you won’t need to read from the first till last page. You wake up and you find the key dream words in the dictionary (if you remember the dream, of course.). I don’t think it’s exactly easy to find the meanings behind the dreams, there many of them for each symbol, but I just can’t wait to analyze more of my next dreams.

Am so glad I got this book, the author explained in detail how to use this book to help you understand how to interpret your dreams and your personal meaning of them. Because the meaning of our dreams is more than just the obvious, I can’t wait to use this to interpret all my dreams...... a great book to have in your collection

Informative book on how to interpret your dreams. The author tells you step by step on how to pick apart your dreams, then has a dictionary to decipher what each object or thing means. I've used a dream dictionary since I was 16. This one is more in depth then the one I had. Glad I got to update. Huge thanks to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to review the book! So far the book has predicted my dreams pretty accurately!!!

Ever since I can remember I have nightmares. Sometimes so many that I wake up exhausted. But what to do? I'm not a bad sleeper, on the contrary. Well, this book provided me with a better insight in myself. Why I have these 'toxic dreams' and what I could do about it.
I will not say this book 'cured' me of my dreams, but having a better understanding already helps a lot. Plus, the book is very well written and interesting and a please to read even for people who do not have terrible dreams - there are lots of nice dreams that try to tell you something too.

Thank you BooksGoSocial and Netgalley for this book.

Great information in order to interpret your dreams as a means of resolving conflict between the conscious life and deep rooted subconscious thoughts. I have always felt that dreams were a way of resolving issues and inner conflict and the author explains how to use dream - objects, activities
participants, to do so. I have other dream books but this one is written conversational and is easily understood.

Many thanks to the author, Books Go Social ,and NetGalley for the ARC for an honest review.
The opinions expressed are my own.
Hope you enjoy and find as interesting as I did.

I knew I had to check this out the moment I read the title. I am an avid believer that our dreams mean something more than just a running mental show while we sleep! I also have quite interesting, imaginative dreams- and who knows where the inspiration behind them comes from.

I read through the informational part of the dream dictionary, which holds a vast majority of information about why we dream, what we dream about, and how anything can be interpreted but the important thing to remember about interpretation is to focus on the overall theme or "big picture". It's very instructive and gives plenty of examples to practice on.

Then I had fun with the dictionary. First I looked up words that were associated with the dream that I had the night before, and then I just swiped through the pages, reading words that caught me eye. Each description is a very thorough interpretation, and not just a flimsy "it could be this".

Very impressed, overall, and excited to put the copy to use with future dreams!

This review will be posted at a future date on www.thelexingtonbookie.com.

I've always had rather strange dreams. In the past I've bought dream dictionaries, but they lack information that this wonderful version and out so simply.
Most dream dictionaries only have the figures or items that appear and their possible interpretation. This book actually shows you how to interpret a dream and how to identify what is the symbolic items within it. It's brilliant, well written and explained.

Found this a very interesting read, I often have strange dreams and I thought this was a fascinating read.
Thank you netgalley.

Have always loved reading about dream interpretation and I love anything to do with Alice in Wonderland, so this was perfect for me. Love the layout of the book and how the chapters were broken up. Very informative. Will definitely keep visiting this from time to time. I look forward to interpreting my dreams and knowing more about them.

I was disappointed there was no Alice in Wonderland theme despite the cover.
The book gives you explanation of many, many symbols you see in your dreams. I really like that it included intangible things such as emotions. Too many books only focus on physically representation. I wish the book had been organized by category but I know some people probably like their lists in alphabetical order.
To get the most out of this book, you should probably read the dream interpretation guide that is made to pair with it.

A very complete dictionary of dreams for any level of experience. The pictures are amazing. This is the book to keep on the nightstand along with The Curious Dreamer’s Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation by Nancy Wagaman.

Thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest review
What a wonderful book to dip in and out of can highly recommend

I have always been interested in dreams and lately I have been having some bizarre ones/ I know they are reflection of life and what you're thinking so I always check the internet for reasons. This is quite an interesting book and looks into the meanings behind the symbols to. It's almost like an exploration of what is going on and leading to some quite interesting finds. If you are into learning more about your dreams I highly recommend this book.

Pretty cool dictionary to help depict dreams! If you're into figuring out your dreams and what they mean, this book can help you.

The Curious Dreamer's Dream Dictionary is a book meant for the person who wants to interpret dreams, not the person who wants a book to do all the thinking for them with cut and dried symbolism meanings. If you want to put real thought into your dreams and what they mean then this would be a wonderful book for you. I feel that that is what makes this book more helpful to those that really want to learn this craft. You will not find a long list of symbols and what they mean here. Really, a train going through a tunnel might be about sex....or maybe you're going on a train trip and it's nothing more than a dream about a train! This book makes you think, therefore it is more complicated and is not a quick reference guide to dream symbols but is a good book for the introspective reader.

This is a good reference book with a comprehensive list of dream images and actions. Thoughtful descriptions and suggestions are included, as well as a detail index with cross-referencing. I thought the introduction and first section of the book were great for insight in to examining dreams and how to use the later majority of the book for analysis.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is a health, mind and body self-help book. Have you ever wondered what your dreams meant or talked about it with your friends and family? Perhaps you have heard others discuss it or watched a program discussing this topic. Well, this is what this book is about. It is a guide about dreams and is interesting. Whether you believe it or not it is interesting. You'll be able to take a dream or a item in a dream and translate it or find a meaning. Perhaps it will be more of a generalization of analyzing dreams overall and helps recognize the importance of dream or certain types of dreams. It may be what your dream is trying to tell you or is saying about your life. Your mind is speaking to you while you sleep -- what is it saying? This book is a decoder. It is well written and if you enjoy dream interpretation this is the book for you. It is also a companion book to The Curious Dreamer's Practical Guide to Dream Interpretation, which I haven't read, but might be more helpful.

Interesting and thorough, this book dives deep into how to explain the meaning in the symbols within dreams. It's such an interesting topic to me, and I really thought this was an easy to follow guidance. I knew some of the symbols in here, but I cannot remember seeing as many symbols in one text as I found in this book.
