The word "sleep" covers both the act of sleeping and the activity of the mind during that period of rest. To dream is part of the act of sleeping. The interpretation of dreams is the art of applying meaning to the various elements that appear in dreams. This is an ancient human practice, for which there are written records more then 3,800 years old. This beautiful book is an illustrated A-Z glossary of 1,500 precognitive dream elements - words, images and situations - and what they mean. An introduction also explains sleep and dreaming, and the symbolism of dreams. There is even a dreams questionnaire to hep you understand yourself.
