Just the thing to keep by your bedside, at home, or on the road, the pocket-sized Understanding Dreams indexes more than 800 common symbols in dreams and their possible meanings. If you dream of a house on fire, for instance, it could mean you are angry; dreaming about kites might signify that you will achieve a lifelong ambition. Introductory sections on dream lore and the unconscious mind explain how and why we dream, while a sample dream diary provides a tool for unlocking the powerful language of our deepest hopes and fears.
