Dreams have fascinated the human mind throughout recorded history. Some believe that dreams have healing powers, spark creative inspiration, or warn us of things to come. The Dream Encyclopedia ponders these ideas and much more. Learn how how factors such as self-healing, ESP, literature, religion, sex, cognition and memory, and medical conditions can all have an effect on dreams. Dream symbolism and interpretation is examined in detail, while a special section-with over 1,000 symbols and explanations-interprets dream symbols and helps readers understanding the phenomena of dreaming. Among the dream symbols unraveled are:

  • Airplane dreams may mean you have the power to "rise above" a situation or have the desire to break free of restrictions.
  • Falling dreams often reflect a sense that one has failed or "fallen down" in life.
  • Horse riding dreams most probably mean that the dreamer feels in control of his or her life.
  • Teeth in a dream may indicate control issues.
  • Zoo dreams may mean that a dreamer needs to tidy up some situation.
