The Dream Dictionary for the Modern Dreamer is an indispensable guide for modern dreamers everywhere. Featuring one thousand new entries and interpretations, the dictionary concentrates on those aspects of contemporary life and dreaming which other dictionaries have neglected. Rather than concentrate on those archetypal features of human existence (chairs, tables, fire, love and falling), The Dream Dictionary is the first significant reference work devoted to explaining the particular, the transitory and the specifically contemporary as they may appear in the world of our dreams. What is the meaning of the dream in which one touches, without meaning to, the hand of a fellow traveler on an underground train? What does it mean to dream of a telethon, a modem, or the former Soviet Union? Or to dream that someone you love dearly is trying to barcode scan your eyes? All these and many other modern dreams are fully interpreted in The Dream Dictionary, that combines abundant exemplification with useful analysis.
