People have long been fascinated by the meaning of dreams. In fact, young people around the world have similar dreams.

She gives excellent suggestions to help young readers remember, understand, and even have control over their dreams, so that they become a source of insight. The Dream Book earned a 2002 Outstanding Achievement Award from the Parent’s Guide to Children’s Media.
