Stated First American Edition with Number Line to 1. As you can see from the photos, the covers are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. There is very little wear, a little crinkling at the spine ends, a thin dent off the front bottom edge and a crease just above the rear bottom corner (having no impact on the pages). The corners are in very good shape. The page edges are very clean. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. In scrolling through I didn't find any instances of soiling. I saw only one tiny crease at the tip of the bottom corner of one page. There are no markings. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There are three tiny stickers at the top right-hand corner of the first front end paper, a blank page. One of the stickers is a gold star. The other two are little planets, gold and green. I imagine the previous owner was inspired to represent the subject matter in such a way. There are no other attachments of any kind anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've had it in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book which goes back a number of years. The black color just off the top edge of the front cover and spine (also a little at the bottom edge of the spine) has turned to a gray color, a little unusual, perhaps toning. There is slight wear at the spine ends. The jacket is very clean. It does have those vertical cloudy lines on both the front and rear cover. They are the result of the change in the texture of the cloth of the book, the smooth blue changing to a more textured black. The flaps of the jacket are a light blue. They are very clean and in solid shape. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all, but the previous owner penned a dark circle over part of the USA and CAN prices, the two numbers before the '.00' . It looks like the book was originally priced at $35.00. From the dust jacket: 'The Dimensions of Dreams summarizes and one encyclopedic volume the vast knowledge modern science has been able to amass about the world of dreams since Freud first published his groundbreaking Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. Freud's work, and that of Jung, provided the major impetus for many of the dream theories that have arisen this century, all trying to tease meaning from the often puzzling contents of dreams and to enlist them in the therapeutic process. Ole Vedfelt reviews in depth the large body of research about dreams that has found its way into the literature, from the work of Freud and Jung to that of many other important investigators, including Alfred Adler, Erich Fromm, Montague Ullman, Calvin Hall, and Medard Boss. Vedfelt also discusses dreamwork in gestalt therapy and psychodrama, and describes the results of modern laboratory investigations of sleep and dreaming. How dreams are affected by organic diseases and physical symptoms, the relationship between dreams and psychosis, parapsychological phenomena, esoteric dream understanding, and consciousness-expanding dreams are among the other subjects covered The Dimensions of Dreams is a unique and indispensable handbook for the professional, and compelling reading for the general public.…

In what has been called `the best general introduction to this subject' (Die Welt, Hamburg), The Dimensions of Dreams summarises in one encyclopedic volume the vast knowledge modern science has been able to amass about the world of dreams since Freud first published his groundbreaking Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. Freud's work, and that of Jung, provided the main impetus for many of the dream theories that have arisen this century, all trying to tease meaning from the often puzzling contents of dreams and to enlist them in the therapeutic process. Ole Vedfelt reviews in depth the large body of research about dreams that has found its way into the literature, from the work of Freud and Jung to that of many other important investigators, including Alfred Adler, Erich Fromm, Montague Ullman, Calvin Hall and Medard Boss.
Vedfelt also discusses dreamwork in gestalt therapy and psychodrama, and describes the results of modern laboratory investigations of sleep and dreaming. How dreams are affected by organic diseases and physical symptoms, the relationship between dreams and psychosis, parapsychological phenomena, esoteric dream understanding, and consciousness-expanding dreams are among other subjects covered. The Dimensions of Dreams is an excellent handbook for the professional, and compelling reading for those with a general interest.

Review
This is a comprehensive, clearly written and translated book which covers a wide range of approaches. This is a useful and welcome addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in dream work. --Dramatherapy
I find Vedfelt's book impressive and inspiring. Notwithstanding its high academic and theoretical content, the book is entertaining and a pleasure to read. Vedfelt has provided a powerful and important contribution to the study of the world of dreams. --Society for Analytical Psychology

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
