More portable than a heavy dream dictionary and cheaper than a therapist (and probably more insightful), THE DREAM DIARY provides you with everything you could dream of for remembering, recording, and interpreting what your reveries mean about you, your life, and your consciousness. As you use this journal, you'll become more informed about what certain dreams symbolise, what recurring dreams mean, and why nightmares occur (and how to prevent them). To decode the meaning of your dreams and improve your self-awareness all you have to do is:1. Write down or sketch scenes from your dreams (no matter how vivid or vague) in the entry pages. As you practice, you'll become better at remembering details.2. Reference the Dream Dictionary: Identify key symbols and flip back to the dictionary in the back of the journal to learn what they mean.3. After reading the entry for the various things, people, and places that appear in your dream, jot down your analysis of what this dream means and what it says about your life. You'll gain a better understanding of why you had a particular dream and about what it signifies about your subconscious and current life situations. A few examples from the dictionary include:Falling: Loss of confidence; threat to usual sources of security such as relationship, source of money, social image, moral failure.Teeth falling out: Often a sense of loss, such as death of family member or loved one; the aging process as it relates to maturity, worries about getting older and one's changing image.Flying: A great deal of will, effort, and learning can be involved in a flying dream. This aspect of flying connects with the gaining of independence and the expression of one's potential.
