The Esoteric Dream Book interprets dreams from the standpoint of esotericism — teachings that look for a hidden, “inner” meaning in the world, which is what the Greek word “esoteric” means. Its author is considered to be Elena Anopova. Images are explained as signs of energy, inner state and spiritual path rather than everyday predictions. This view has no scientific basis, but it complements the classic dream books well.

About this dream book
History of the dream book
The compiler of the “Esoteric Dream Book” is said to be Elena Anopova, the author of popular books on esotericism published in the 1990s and 2000s. The dream book was part of a wave of editions that combined folk interpretations with ideas about energy, karma and the subtle world.
The word “esoteric” means “inner”, intended for the initiated. In the dream book this shows in the way images are explained as signs of an inner state or a spiritual path: dreams of the afterlife mean “the life of the soul”, a fairy means the protection of otherworldly forces.
In the 1990s esoteric literature was among the most popular in the post-Soviet countries: after Soviet bans, readers were fascinated by astrology, energies and karma. Anopova’s dream book is a typical example of such editions.
What the interpretations are like
The dream book is large — more than one and a half thousand images — and the entries are of medium length. Besides esoteric explanations there are ordinary omens: “to watch others eat — good luck awaits”. There are few separate variants for women and men.
The interpretations often moralise — the dream points to “moral debts” or “unworthy deeds”. Take this as a feature of the author’s outlook.
