Ancient Greeks, the Japanese and Sigmund Freud have all sought to use the interpretation of dreams as a means of unlocking the mysteries of the subconscious. Collins Gem Understanding Dreams describes these beliefs and various methods of dream interpretation. The main listing of dream symbols within the book is divided alphabetically, with over 800 symbols ranging from Birds to Mercy and Passport to Smoke. Each symbol has an indication of the seriousness of the dream in which it features -- either good or bad news, a warning or longing or desire. Each symbol is interpreted in a clear and entertaining fashion, and in appropriate circumstances different meanings are given for male or female dreamers.
