Over the long course of time, ancient shamans through modern day psychiatrists have helped people analyze their dreams. And ordinary people have talked over breakfast about the meaning of their dreams. In this well-organized and creatively designed paperback, author and psychologist David Fontana shares what he has learned from studies of Freud, Jung, and others, along with insights gathered from his dream workshops.

The core of this sumptuous paperback is a 100 page "dream directory" which Fontana calls an illustrated guide to common dream themes such as Anxiety, Change and Transition, and Sexuality. Readers will especially savor his assessments of the symbolism in dreams about Flying, the Body, or Animals.

Anyone on a quest to understand his or her dreams and what they mean will want to have this paperback as a resource. It is a passport to self-discovery and self-growth.
