Private Myths by Anthony Stevens

An excellent survey of dream theory, include the ones from Freud, Jung and science research. The focus is Jungian idea, so this book also serves as a great introduction to Jung. The last part of the book discusses topics related to the current society problem and spiritual growth, and the author  speaks out his opinions with feelings, even emotions. It has very good insights, but in a couple of places I may not fully agree with the author -- he seems to be be over-extreme in those places. However, I still enjoy reading every sentence of this book. A great book!

Thanks to Tom David who recommends this book.
