The Dreamer's Dictionary

Understanding the deeper meaning of your dreams

-Stearn Robinson and Tom Corbett

I read a variety of books. I wander in lot of locations, to search for books . One of the best affordable book locations are the old book resellers,old book exhibitions. 

I found this book is such an exhibition . I always wondered what my dreams mean. 

We all have heard stories of good dreams, bad dreams. We have experienced ourselves too . The feeling emotions and sometimes life experience after such occurrence. 

Dream interpretation can sound like something rubbish , or hocus-pocus kinda stuff but in real it's just a case study or account of or aggregation of experiences by various people on similar dreams. There's no proof, there are no facts , there's no science. It's just what you believe.  and I BELIEVE . 

This is no much of a book review but an insight in this type of books . What you expect , type of explanation etc. 

Let me give dreams's explanation for : 

What does Dreaming of  Flying means!?

Flying : This is one dream symbol on which practically every source from artemidorus on down agrees. It represents dreamer's basic ambition. , but the interpretation of flying (like a bird) is modified by the details of the flight and its conditions. So the surrounding , weather etc .. must be correlated with the action , but as a general guide. 

If you successfully maintained your flight , at a low to medium height, you can expect to achieve your goal without much difficulty . 

If you were trying (or straining) to reach a high altitude , the dream is telling you that your grasp is greater than you reach and you would be wise to alter your course. 

What does Screaming in Dream means ?

Screams: A sort of contrary in that to hear the screams of others signifies that you are likely to hear distressing news;however , to dream of screaming yourself is considered a fortunate omen for all that concerns you closely. 

What does Fighting in Dream means?

Fight : The basic meaning in a dream of Fighting is change . For a business person it signifies a change of enterprise; for an employed person change of job. The degree of success or failure you may expect from the change was forecast in the outcome of your dreamed fight . If your dream concerned other fighting , it is warning against waste of time and money in idle pleasure. 

So this book is dreamer's dictionary .I gave some examples of it . 

If you want to know what your dream means , Comment and i will write down it too you in reply . 

The Dreamwalker's Child

The Dreamwalker's Child

-Steve Voake

hmmm ,,it's quite tough to decide about this book .I picked this book in Book Fair .Well.. book cover was awesome to attract and then read two pages to decide. I found those pages good and gave this book a chance.

This book is purely children fiction .The story is about how a boy happens to reach the land of Aurobon.
Aurobon is another world ,of those people who maintain the balance of nature.Wasps,Ants,flies,Mosquitoes all of this in their world are the high technological aircrafts. The description with some illustration is quite amusing to create fantasy in children about insects. Story in initial phases is not that catchy but as the chapters unfold the story gets interesting.
The description of the adventures of lead characters Sam and Skipper are awesome. Skipper being the adventure loving ,fun loving,full of confidence and daring girl, an awesome pilot who crashes a lot :) . Sam being rather curious about insects turns out to be the hero who saved the Earth and Aurobon .There are some very beautiful description of wars and strategy.Beautiful descriptions of places.the villains in story are also nicely portrayed.

Critical review: Though this book is awesome try but it does have some points.Writer Couldnt justify the title "the Dreamwalkers Child" to it's full intent. Dreamwalker's significance is missed.The significance of the child though highlighted but still i hoped for something more.
 There are moments when story would or should have matured but then for Children fiction it didn't and lost points.
Story also ends unexpectedly.There had to be some epilogue to complete the story.
Either the book was shortened or the story was elongated. Initially story unfolds slowly and in ending ends quite early.
Book rating will be 3 star .


Pros : The book has very good description how children perceive the insects.Like flies,wasps ,ants and other insects have been described as highly technological machines that work to maintain nature's balance.There are also some good illustrations. Then negligence of humans toward nature and mother Earth is also highlighted very well .Good for children .




This review is just my opinion .
Everyone has his own perception .

I do acknowledge the fact that a lot of efforts have been put up to write this book.I thank Author Steve Voake to have written the book.
