Another book on dreams

While I thought I would be teaching a course on dreams this fall, I read several books to see if there were some new ideas I could use. Well, I have decided I want to teach another 6 weeks on In Treatment rather than dreams and I didn't really find anything amazing in what I read. At the suggestion of several people I recently read Richard Kradin's The Herald Dream: An Approach to the Initial Dream in Psychotherapy. I think this is a fine book for someone new to working with dreams brought by patients. The notion that the first dream in psychotherapy is important and reveals a lot about what the presenting problems are and how to deal with them is one I was taught at least 2 years ago, so for me, this is not a new idea. However, I must say that Kradin lays it out in an easily digestible fashion. I wish there were more dreams by women but that is a minor quibble.
