Sylvia Brownes Book of Dreams Reviews

  If you are looking for a book that will tell you that you dreamed about a yellow car and that means you are afraid of spiders...this is not the book for you. If, however you believe that your dreams are your sub conscious talking to you and you are trying to find help if figuring out what your dreams really mean this is a great start. I say great start because Sylvia Browne will not say this means that...she will say certain dreams fall into various categories and here are some tips to figuring out your dreams. It was extremely helpful and I find even when I have nightmares I wake up and think "wow, what a mystery, let me start to unravel it." I think anyone who has every wondered about the dream world should read this book.

  Everytime I pick up a Sylvia Browne’s book, the more I want to read. I didn’t want this book to end and I found it so so fascinating and relatable. Since I read the book I’ve picked up my dream journal again, and started remembering more of my dreams and astral travels. I highly recommend this book and “The other side” as these are the only ones I’ve read, so far.

  This book is meatier than most of Sylvia Browne's books (she tends to repeat stories over and over in every book). She discusses several types of dreams -- prophetic, release, and wish dreams. She also discusses what are the phenomenons of astral visits (you mean, I can travel to London, England every night?) and astral catalepsy (is that why I wake up but my leg's still asleep?). By delving into the deeper meanings of our dreams, we can gain entry into the core of our souls and live a healthier life. While my life hasn't morphed into some heavenly escape where all is understood and all is well, I must admit it is a book I'd like to keep close as a reference point. After all, what did my last dream just mean???

  I'm not really into dream interpretation, but this book is cool. She says that dreams fall into 4 different categories, meaning-wise, so it's fun to think about your dreams and apply her theory to it.

  Love this book, and the premise that our dreams are personal. I respected the fact this wasn't one of those dream book dictionaries.

  This was the first Sylvia Browne book I’ve ever read and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. There’s a lot of good information on dissecting dreams for interpretation as well as many interesting stories.
  
  The only reason why I rated this a 4/5 is because I felt that parts of the book were shaming people for their beliefs. I know that Sylvia is Christian and says so at the beginning of this book, but she also says that she appreciates all cultures and religions. I found that hard to believe when she was throwing in bits about non-believers and those who’ve committed suicide not sharing the same afterlife with other Christians. I don’t share the same faith as Sylvia, but I was still able to find value in this book.

  This was my first Sylvia browne book and it was the one that kicked off my love for her and her work. I haven't read it for years but had to leave a review because I remember loving it and reading it cover to cover when I was in my young 20s. This book helped explain so much. Even if you just have a small interest it's a great book to flip through for answers with what might apply to you.

  A basic dream book with some interesting and original ideas. It has a lot of examples of people's dreams, which gets a bit repetitive, but it's a nice foundation book for someone just getting started.

  Read this book with an open mind.

  Very interesting analysis of dreams by a psychic. Ms Browne is very positive in her analysis, using reports of dreams from her extensive following.

  I really liked it! It gave me insights I never thought of & after I got the information, one of my bothersome recurring theme dreams changed to a better ending! :) Sylvia is genuine. She really wants to help people understand their dreams and not be uncomfortable with ANY of them. She describes the 5 different type of dreams we have and how to recognize each, along with archetypes and what they mean to each of us individually. It's not a dream dictionary of sorts, which I like. She talks about astral visits, lucid dreaming, and other aspects of the dream world. If you read the epilogue on page 261-8 you will get a strong idea of what the book covers. Take what you like from it, use it & share the ideas. Ditch what you don't like. Definitely a "keeper".

  This book, Sylvia Browne's Book of Dreams, was okay. It gives a lot of interesting information about what we dream and why in a very colorful way. By using real dreams from real people to describe the different sorts of dreams it's easy to understand what she means. The book has affected me by some ways, as I've actually started to wake up when I've just dreamt to write it down for later analys, but... as most books there's always a but. I'm an atheist, and Sylvia Browne is clearly a religious woman. I respect her beliefs, but I find it quite annoying that God and prayers are mentioned in every other page, and that by not being on "God's" side, I'm aparently on the side of evil. She pities those who can't say they love God, and I for one want no one's pity for that fact. Although, this little religious matter is a big part of the book, it still contains very interesting information, and none of it has been boring. I've learned from it, and it's far from the worst book I've ever read.

  Got to be honest, I really enjoy Sylvia Browne's way of making things simplistic to understand. What I don't like about her books, which I own (Contacting Your Spirit Guide, The Other Side and Back, Visits from the Afterlife, Life on the other Side), are how things are repeated within the books. I enjoy the content and meaning behind the books, not a huge fan of the stories she presents about the people she has worked with. It kind of takes you away from the real meaning behind the book, to try and understand dreams. I don't care about having someone else's dream explained. All in all though, the book like all her books, is great. Highly recommend Sylvia Browne to anyone who is interested in this topic, specifically trying to get a better understanding of spirits/ghosts. It really opens your eyes and makes you think.

  This book was astonishing in all the information and testimonies it provided. As a very spiritual person I feel that I learned so much about my dreams that I didn't even realize I already had an understanding of. I loved how tactful and entertaining Sylvia's approach was to explaining aspects of our dreams that in the hands of a doctor or other scholar would've been like listening to a conversation in a language I don't understand. As an avid dreamer I found answers to so many small mysteries that play out in my mind during my sleeping hours. I devoured this book in a matter of days and walked away with a MUCH better interpretation of what happens in my sub-conscious thoughts.Not to mention that I was also left with a strong desire to learn more. Highly recommend it! LOVED IT!

  While I can't agree with everything Sylvia has to offer on the topic of dreams, her insight has proven worthwhile for me. I will forever be on the quest to understand my dream habits, and I found that Sylvia has some interesting points regarding why people dream what they do, and how to approach realizing their meanings. It's definitely worth reading, just to see things from a different perspective.

  Loved this book! There were so many things that made sense while and after reading this! I have such vivid dreams and I really like her take on their interpretation. I'm still on the fence about the life chart and reincarnation that she believes in, but besides that, it all made a lot of sense. I also really like her style of writing. Francine's parts can be a bit hard to understand sometimes, as it's a bit convoluted and vague. But Sylvia's voice is wonderful and an easy read =)

  I have avoided Browne's books because I tend to avoid "mainstream" physics.
  I find that parts of this book resonates as true to me and parts that don't but overall I am enjoying it.
  
  I loved this book - it was very insightful and helped me appreciate the ways in which dreams can help me (and others) with life's questions.

  This was book was sometimes very interesting, but at other times the most boring thing I read all summer; nevertheless, it did provide some good insight into dreams, how they work, and how to decipher them. My biggest problem was the constant filtering I had to do while reading. There seemed to be just as much rubbish in her beliefs as there was truth which bugged me.

  Enjoyed this book tremendously. Sylvia gives you a new insight to the world of dreams and has a unique meaning to our dreams. Recommend this highly for people who like dream books and want a different view. Not a typical dream book you can look up different meanings, but a reason behind what we dream in your mind. Enjoy

  This book diverges from the traditional format of dream books in a very good way. Rather than use the formulaic dictionary format usually found in this genre the author separates dreams into several different types and tells you how to recognize and interpret each type.

  Really like this book. I don't believe that there is a dictionary that has the meaning to your dreams. Sylvia tells how to tell the difference between different types of dreams and what they mean for each person. I have all types of dreams listed in the book.
