Just about everything on dreams. - By: , 14 Jul 1999 
This certainly doesn't miss the prophetic element of dreams, nor the emotional, nor the sexual, nor the spiritual. Even if I don't have a dream to look up, I can pick up Dream Dictionary & just browse. It has so many things in, like OBE's & sleep paralysis & nightmares. I am always discovering new things to learn from.

Very Unclear Book and Misses Meaning of Dreams. - By: , 28 Feb 1999 
In different cultures - dreams are consider prediction of feature eventsin one's life. This book completely misses that connection. I recommend the author to review eastern dream books (several centuries old) for his next book. However the book is very well organized.
Best Yet - By: , 12 Dec 1998 If this book popped up on your recommendation list next to a few others about dream interpretation, & you're only going to buy one..pick this one. Tony Crisp's "Dream Dictionary" is by far the most enlightening book on this subject that I have. If the subject interests you, it's fun to have a few different books by different authors to cross reference. But again, if you're only going to get one book on dreams, chose this one over any other. I found Crisp to have a much more realistic look into the subconcious than, say, Gustavus Miller ("The Dictionary of Dreams..") who seemed to have only three standard explanations of dreams... (death/illness, doom or good fortune). I find myself referring to Crisp's "Dream Dictionary" several times a week.
