A very practical informative book on how to understand and interpret dreams.

The use of examples to really put the theory into practice was extremely helpful. It really brought home what the book was saying.

Journaling is a great idea.

Loved this book and revisited sections more than once as needed

I enjoyed this book. This book provides a practical approach to understanding and interpreting dreams, based
on Jungian psychology. The author suggests keeping a dream journal, as a way of understanding ourselves on a deeper level, which may offer insight into our 'dark side' or subconscious.

The author gives concrete examples of dream interpretations from her own dreams, as well as others. I think the author did an excellent job breaking down the information into bite size pieces, which I appreciated. For instance, she states, "Pay attention to the last sentence of the dream, as you have written it down. This gives the solution from the unconscious. The end is a response to the beginning.."

I also think the author did an excellent job stressing the importance of dreams and their value. "They speak to us in symbolic imagery, rising to our awareness from unknown, unconscious depths and want to be made conscious." I have read other dream books, that offer flat, one sided interpretations. I found this book to be much more helpful in teaching the reader/dreamer ways to analyze and interpret dreams for themselves.

Thank you NetGalley and Ortus Press the opportunity to review this delightful book!

What I Liked
1. The inclusion of sample dreams to help see how interpretation techniques can be applied is exceptionally helpful
2. The early focus on obtaining and keeping a dream journal is very important to me as a reader of other dream interpretation books. Often this very simple and important step is skipped entirely
3. The Bibliography and further reading sections allow for an understanding of where the author obtains their Ideas presented throughout the text.
4. Wonderful advice for working with friends and professionals

What Could Have Been Done Better
1. It would have been nice to see pages included in the book to use as an early dream journal . This could be remedied by selling the book packaged with a small journal or maybe adding a few journal pages after each of the exercises.
2. there were some rendering issues I think may have just been my chosen reading device.

Who I Would Recommend this book for ?
The Dreamer"s Odyssey is a resource that may be of particular assistance to those looking to avoid the pagan undertones found in popular guides and lean more heavily into a psychological lens.This book would be a good fit for those interested in dream interpretation that have struggled with the more typical dream symbol books found on book store shelves.
