About the author
J M Debord is the author of two books on dream interpretation written for a general readership. "The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" (2017, Visible Ink Press) works through common dream symbols and their possible meanings, addressing recurring dreams, nightmares and the appearance of particular people in dreams. "Dreams 1-2-3: Remember, Interpret, and Live Your Dreams" (2013, Hampton Roads Publishing Company) sets out a three-step approach to recalling, interpreting and applying dreams in waking life, explicitly rejecting the idea of a single fixed meaning for any dream symbol in favor of a personal, contextual approach. Both books are practical references rather than academic studies of dream psychology, aimed at readers who want a working method and a symbol reference for their own dream journaling rather than a theoretical account of why people dream.
