The Encyclopedia of Dreams

Unlike many manuals of its kind, The Encyclopedia of Dreams by Claire Rougemont approaches the mysterious world of sleep and vision with both scientific curiosity and poetic insight. First published in the early twentieth century, this comprehensive work gathers ancient symbolism, modern psychology, and cross-cultural belief to illuminate the hidden language of dreams.

Rougemont explores the meanings behind recurring symbols, emotions, and archetypes, tracing their origins from classical mythology and biblical imagery to Freudian and spiritual interpretations. Each entry reveals how dreams act as mirrors of desire, fear, intuition, and divine message, offering readers a pathway toward deeper self-understanding and inner harmony.

More than a dictionary of symbols, this volume stands as a bridge between science and mysticism, inviting readers to see dreams not as illusions of sleep, but as the whispers of the subconscious and the soul.
