Dream Dictionary was first published in the UK by Macdonald in 1990 under the Optima imprint. Little Brown bought out Macdonald. The book has been reprinted in 1990 - 1992 - 1994 twice - 1995 - 1997 - 1998 - 1999.

In 2002 Bantam Dell published a revised edition in the USA.

Writing Dream Dictionary came about through my working for the national UK newspaper The Daily Mail. For many years I had been working in the role of therapist using dreams, but the thousands of dreams received via the dream page of the Daily Mail gave a tremendous boost to understanding and information gathered.

I wanted very much to share what I had learnt, and eventually was offered a commission with Macdonalds through the support of Erica Smith. Later, Little Brown UK purchased the rights and continued to publish in the UK.
