| Other Dream Sites Dream work
There's an 80-20 rule with dream work: Eighty percent of what you need to know is
common to most dream work but there's that extra 20% and each person provides something
special or different that is worth listening to. In other words, any good dream worker can
do well with your dream and you'll learn the basics from any of them. ON THE OTHER HAND,
if you listen to a lot of different people, you'll absorb new ideas and variations on
other ideas that will help you even more. NEVER LEARN FROM JUST ONE PERSON.
These are other popular sites that I think are worth commenting on. Almost all of them
have something very good to say and they have different orientations towards dream work. If I describe them in red, it's a warning sign -- beware.

Aisling Dream
Interpretation |
Offers a dream interpretation service for $20 (audio or typed response).
Free newsletter.
Workshops in Dublin, Ireland.
Has a "psychic" orientation.
Very definite in his interpretations (not my style). |
| Dream Emporium |
Website of Cyndi Russell. Sensitive and insightful.
I liked her description of nightmares as an "early warning system" and, listen
to this: nightmares "point out to you areas in your life that need to be
healed, or worked upon." Great stuff.
Her advice on dream dictionaries: check out the definition in an English dictionary. |
The Dream
Interpretation Center |
Layne Dalfen's site.
She's the author of the well-written "Dreams Do Come True: Using Your Dreams To
Discover Your Full Potential"
Focuses on the layers of the dream.
Offers interpretations e.g. $40 per 30 mins. |
| LifeTreks |
Dr. Gillian Holloway Ph.D.
Author of "Dreaming
Insights: A 5-Step Plan for Discovering the Meaning in Your Dream," It would be
nice if the web site gave you some idea of what the 5 steps were.
When she gives an interpretation (on her web site) she also poses a series of "Useful
questions" e.g for teeth falling out she asks whether you feel forced to make the
best of a bad bargain right now? |
| Ask The Dream Doctor |
Charles McPhee's web site.
Wrote "Ask the Dream Doctor". Has a radio program.
I think he's terrific. I heard him speak at a conference and was astonished at how he
could get a great interpretation out in a minute or two.
This is a good website for sleep and sleep disorder information.
He has a special section for teens. |
| Dream Central |
Elizabeth and Michael Thiessen.
This is a sister site to astrology-online.com.
The page on dream analysis contains a lot of useful information.. |
| Dream
Analysis and Interpretation |
Dream pages authored by Mario Buscemi.
Has a method where you break your dream down and write about different parts on different
pieces of paper. A good idea if you've got no one to share your dreams with.
Uses a dream-series approach (my own preference) |
| Swoon |
Excessive claim: "Don't worry if you weren't
born with psychic powers. With our step-by-step guide to dream interpretation you'll soon
be a master dreamweaver". |
| John Suler |
Emphasizes that dreams have many layers of meaning.
I liked his advice on remembering dreams: "Try NOT to think of a dream as something
to be hunted, captured, or controlled." |
| DreamThread |

Much more solid than it appears to be at first sight. Kid's
dream dictionary is novel with definitions for Barbie, Nike and the like generally
expressing a nice liberal anti-commercial attitude. |
| Yahoo! Astrology |

then a dictionary item beginning with that letter. Cumbersome. |
