All Dream Dictionaries are not created equal. There are some pretty silly ones around that originate from victorian times and the definitions read like a fortune cookie...not very helpful. So, if you must use a dictionary, then I recommend one of the books below.
If you want to understand more about your own and others' behavior and gain greater insight into your inner self, this fact-packed reference guide will provide a wealth of fascinating information to help you unlock the power of your dreams.
Special features include: An A-Z directory that reveals the meaning of over 1,200 dream themes and images, A workbook of questionnaires and exercises to show you how to recall, understand, and maximize the power of your dreams, Expert advice to teach you how to use dreams for success in love, work, and personal achievement.
I love this book! The dictionary in it is an updated version of the one used on this site. Every page is colorful and beautifully illustrated which makes it a joy to read.
