✯✯✯✯ Review by Astrid Galactic
"Wow! I just had the strangest dream. It felt like it was real." How many times have you awaken with just that very thought? We've all done that. But here's the thing, they are real to some extent. Maybe not in a literal sense but those dreams of yours are a part of your psyche sending you messages or working out real life concerns within your waking life. They are clues, or the keys as Nancy Wagaman calls them, to your subconscious mind.
Nancy's book, The Curious Dreamer's Dream Essentials is a guide to help you explore and understand what all that nighttime entertainment is all about. She presents you with your own set of keys to enter your mind so that you can receive a wealth of understanding about what is going on inside of your head. First you unlock the door inside your house, or mind, and then you use the remaining keys to unlock the doors of the many rooms, or parts of your thinking process, to discover what lies inside.
One of the first things that struck me as I started reading the book was just how amazingly organized Wagaman is as a writer, as well as a teacher. Dream analysis can be rather confusing and daunting when you start to pick the pieces apart and yet try to understand them as a whole in relation to whatever sort of experiences the dreamer is going through. This is a step-by-step guide that starts with the basics and works its way up to an easy to understand method of the core of how one can interpret their dreams for a healthier and more satisfying life.
Included in Wagaman's explanations are negatives as well as positives. In other words, what particular aspects of your dreams are not as well as what they are. This helps to define, in a more specific manner, what you should not make of your dreams as well as what they may very well, in fact, indicate. There are a lot of beliefs out there by some whom either misunderstand or have been led down a whole different path of what your dreams are meant to be. She does not address any of these concepts at all but it is evident that this is a nuts and bolts method based on scientific study without all of the heavy jargon and more advanced neuropsychological theories.
If you have any interest in the art of interpreting your dreams, The Curious Dreamer's Dream Essentials is the perfect primer to start your journey. It's organized, concise, yet brimming with all of the basics you need to pack to take along with you on your exploration into the wilds of your inner psyche. Just let your intuition be your guide.
