The Dream Pack: Everything You Need to Inspire, Interpret and Record Your Dreams Book

The Dream Pack promises to provide "everything you need to inspire, interpret and record all your dreams". Packaged in a practical slipcase, the pack contains a dream book, a dream journal, 20 dream cards and a small dream eye pillow. Author David Fontana explains "my experiences of running dream workshops have shown me that dreaming is great fun. The aim of the pack is very much to be fun as well as informative". Start by reading the colour-illustrated Dream Book which provides a good, general introduction to understanding dreams. There are informative chapters on Freud and Jung as well as explanations of different dream types such as nightmares and relationship dreams and a comprehensive A-Z dream directory for interpreting dream symbols. Simple, interactive exercises are dotted throughout the book. The second part of the pack is a beautiful, hardback dream journal. Designed as a workbook, it begins with a dream record section in which you log and interpret your dreams, the idea being that you will eventually reach a fuller understanding of your hidden motivations. The 20 dream cards are the highlight of the pack and provide illustrated descriptions of all the most common dream activities and symbols. A welcome alternative to the more usual book format, they are intended for use both before sleep as dream cues and the morning after a dream for interpretation. A pretty, fabric dream eye pillow completes the pack. Based on ancient folk traditions its purpose is to encourage vivid dreams. Fontana instructs "Half-fill the pillow with rice and a few sprigs of aromatic herbs. Rest on your eyes for five minutes when in bed to induce profound sleep and life-enhancing dreams!" By combining four unusual yet complementary components Fontana succeeds in making this pack a fun, introductory gift for all ages. --Meg SlyfieldRead More
