Revision as of 08:58, 14 November 2024 by Occultwiki (talk | contribs)
A dream interpretation book is an oneiromantic tool which is formatted as a sort of dictionary listing different things which might appear in a dream alongside their symbolic meanings. These were popular over a long period of time, and on several occasions were used as miscellanea for other divinatory books.
Entries are often sorted alphabetically, but also may be sorted by element, category of thing (birds, beasts, objects, etc), or by sign of the Zodiac.
Examples of dream books
- The Royal Book of Dreams by Robert Cross Smith
- The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud
- Man and His Symbols by Carl Gustav Jung
- The Dream Dictionary by Eric Ackroyd
