  The Dream Dictionary (revised) for the modern dreamer is a guide for modern dreamers everywhere. This full, expanded, version features one thousand new entries and interpretations, concentrating on those aspects of contemporary life and dreaming which other dictionaries have neglected. Where most dream dictionaries have concentrated on those archetypal features of human existence felt to be timeless or universal (chairs, tables, fire, love and falling), The Dream Dictionary is devoted to explaining the particular, the transitory and the specifically contemporary as it may appear in the world of our dreams. What is the meaning of the dream in which one touches, without meaning to, the hand of a fellow traveller on an underground train? What does it mean to dream of a telethon, a modem, a rastafarian or the former Soviet Union? What does it mean to dream a change in housing benefit regulations? Or to dream that someone you love dearly is trying to barcode scan your eyes? All these and many other modern dreams are fully interpreted in The Dream Dictionary which combines exemplification with analysis.
