"This book will help you value dreams—and maybe set the stage for a child’s receptivity to God’s truths.”
--Diane Jackson

A child with regular nightmares can easily be dismissed by professionals as just overly imaginative or too sensitive. But for any parent at their wits' end over their child's suffering from dreams and nightmares, a deeper understanding is needed. Is it possible that a spiritual dimension is at play?       //        

A Parents' Guide to Understanding Dreams and Nightmares by Recie Saunders offers help to concerned parents. With a clear, easy-to-read style, it is an invaluable resource for all parents who want to help their kids know whether a dream is from God, interpret their nightmares, find security in God’s control, and hear God’s voice in the night season as well as the day.       //       

Drawing on his extensive research on the prophetic, visions, and dreams, Recie differentiates between dreams and visions, provides creative ideas for encouraging kids’ faith, explains lucid dreaming, and lists the most common images and symbols that come through dreams. Throughout this approachable book is Recie’s tender, fatherly passion that the kingdom of heaven belongs to the “little children.” Includes a Dream Dictionary and a Dream Journal.

My thoughts: A PARENTS' GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN'S DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES is  probably a life-savior for a parent whose child suffers from nightmares. Filled with scripture and the author's understanding of dreams and their meanings, he gives helpful information to differentiate between dreams and visions, how to increase your child's faith, and explains the most common images and symbols that come through dreams (as stated above in the description).  

If you are interested in dreams, visions, and nightmares and want to help your child this would be a helpful book.  Includes a journal, footnotes (for more information if you care to look it up) and a dream dictionary that explains whether a dream (vision or nightmare) is from God or demon forces based on topic and colors. 

Interesting reading and a friendly tone ensures you won't get bored with this book. 

I was given a copy free. All opinions my own.
