Ryan Hurd over at Dream Studies is in the middle of a ten-article series on dream interpretation techniques without a dream dictionary, which seems highly useful for more than casual dreamers, as dream dictionaries at best can give you general cultural meanings for symbols, at worst trite new-agey misleadings, and can never give the way symbols are lived for the individual people who experience them (whether in dreams or waking).
This quote from Joseph Campbell sums it up: "I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."
The articles posted so far (on dream sharing and keeping a dream journal) are posted in the first article's comments section.
