The average person will dream over 150,000 dreams in a lifetime. While most dream interpretations are based on folklore or psychology, The Complete Dream Book is based on the real-life interpretation of modern dreams. Dr. Holloway has compiled a database of over 28,000 dreams and uses the information about the dreamers to show how certain dreams are likely to recur during certain life phases, at different ages or when people are going through particular experiences (such as leaving home for the first time, changing jobs or getting married). She catalogs the most common recurring dreams and explains dream symbols (such as cars, houses, sexual imagery and colors) and their meanings. The Complete Dream Book focuses on the self-awareness that understanding your dreams can provide and offers accessible, clear and pragmatic interpretations. You will also find out how to tell if a dream is worth interpreting, whether the interpretation is the right one and how to embrace the psychic elements in your dreams.This is the only dream interpretation book based on concrete data about real people's dreams and how the actual events in their lives relate to their nighttime visions.
