Dream Interpretation Oracle

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Dream Interpretation Oracle Cards by Luigi Di Giammarino, Text by Pierluca Zizzi. Boxed set of 36 cards plus instruction book. Published by Lo Scarabeo £14.99 

The box is attractive with silver lettering. This deck is not for divination. You don’t ask questions and get answers. The cards help you to be more receptive to dream symbols, images and concepts. 

Information is provided in English, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian. 

A dream diary is recommended. Go over your dream, remember as much as you can of the physical and emotional aspects. Take the entire deck of cards and lay them out, faces up. Select the cards that best apply to your dream. Put the most relevant at the top and read from the book the keywords for those cards.

 The book discusses dream topics, their ambiguity and mystery. Explanation is provided on how these cards work and how to use them and interpret with them. The titles are archetypes, such as, The Old Sage, the Divine Child, the Shadow, the Hero, the Journey, the Self, and the Anima and Animus. You can avoid  becoming your shadow, and use techniques on how you can remember your dreams. There is a lucid dreaming method, and how to program yourself to dream. You can create a conscious fantasy, using a day dreaming method of choosing 3 - 6 cards and laying them out to create a story. 

Meditation on the cards is suggested. Each card has an image, title, number and six keywords. A sample reading is provided. 

I think this deck would be useful for anyone who has a dream group as it offers ways to work with cards and dreams. Of course, you could add titles of your own to the 36 provided! Computerised images, unusual for Lo Scarabeo.
