Adults dream four to
six times a night. Sometimes we remember the dreams; sometimes not.
Because many people are fascinated by dreams there is a plethora of
books, many new age books, on how to interpret dreams. LeClaire
believes that many, but not all dreams come from God. The Bible is
filled with dreams from Abraham and Jacob to Daniel and Paul, even
Herod’s wife had a dream that played a part in Jesus’ crucifixion
story.
The book discusses
the various types of dreams and includes sections on dream symbols
and interpretation. I liked the fact that in addition to biblical
symbols, the author presented a section on cultural symbols. We often
don’t think about it, but the same symbol can be interpreted
differently in different cultures.
The author also
includes descriptions of dreams and their interpretation. Even though
we try to interpret our dreams, we’re unsure of how the information
we glean should be used. I found the section on application of dream
revelations to be particularly interesting. She gives examples of how
to take advantage of dream information, but cautions against trying
to force revelations into reality.
I recommend this
book for anyone interested in dream interpretation with an emphasis
on the biblical aspects of dreams.
I received this book
from BookLookBloggers for this review.
