At first I was a bit skeptical about this book. I mean, a guide on dream interpretation with input from the Bible? Come on! But the more I read about the author's logic and her own personal dream stories, the more convinced I became. The author has had dreams that have come true and has correctly interpreted friends' dreams. There are so many dreams in the Bible, and Dunstan does a good job of summarizing those. This book has a Christian lens, so it makes mention of Jesus and various quotes from the New Testament, in addition to quotes from the Old Testament. What I really liked was how Dunstan differentiated between dreams. Some dreams are just from our own bodies (spicy food makes nightmares) while some dreams are from God (spiritual messages after prayer). This book isn't just talking and stories, as good as that is. There is a huge chunk devoted to what I call a dream glossary. For any place, image, color, number, action, animal, etc, there is a short description of what that could mean. The author is very clear when she says her dream interpretation guide is just a guide. It is not set in stone as everyone's dreams are different.
