This revised edition with new information on sleep research and lightly updated content, Cheung (Empower Your Inner Psychic) outlines the history of dream interpretation, types of dreams (cathartic; nightmare; recurring), and how to improve dream recall. This “bedside reader” encompasses more than 500 pages of symbolic objects, actions, and settings, arranged alphabetically with ample cross-referencing. Some entries (passport; wedding ring) are a sentence or two; others (accidents; body parts) are several pages long. New to this edition are entries for dreams about the internet (scrolling points to a desire for something new; swiping indicates a desire for closure or to move forward speedily from a situation) and about social media more specifically.
VERDICT A useful replacement for the 2006 edition, likely to see use by dream-curious readers.
