It depends on what you're drawn to. Are you more interested in interpretation of story for your own personal growth? Or interpretation of films? Or are you looking to create stories?
The best books I know on this subject at least on interpretive myth include:
In my experience, after Campbell people usually begin to drift toward what their personal myths are. So you have some people who get really into film and get caught on Vogler or Bonnet's work, others who want to go help returning veterans and end up getting really into Odysseus in America. Or people begin focusing on different cultures and religions and move from there.
Yeah fam I got you.

I prefer the book to the site, but the site is pretty decent.
Active imagination is something that for the first X amount of times that you do it, it feels like nothing is happening or that you’re doing it wrong. But just be consist at it and do it for like 10 minutes before bed and eventually you’ll get it and you’ll go “woah”
We really need to make a sticky thread for this topic as it comes up almost weekly. Also, further reading on this topic that is useful includes the following,

A wildly-stoned guess, but maybe your conscious mind isn't communicating with your unconscious mind as well as it did as a child.
Children have more active imaginations than adults, and possibly something that was going on in your life caused this psychological function to "stunt" and peaked out through the symbolism of the exploding, dark figure and the black mass with tentacles that fed on your fear.
The free flow of through the valve of communication between your conscious and unconscious minds when dreaming lucidly might've been shut enough to deny such a flow between the two.
As for getting it back, trying practicing healthy dream-interpretation. This book is great.... http://www.amazon.com/Inner-Work-Dreams-Imagination-Personal/dp/0062504312
Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth - Robert A. Johnson
Johnson gives very clarified and flexible steps to be used in analyzing dreams along with how to use active imagination. This is the most structured and easily understandable reading for analyzing dreams and active imagination I have found.
Sure. I recommend this book by Robert Johnson as a great place to start. You can also check out my book about dreams and dream work. The first three chapters are available on Scribd. Look under "Links about Dreams" and click on the "Read the free sample" link on the right sidebar of this page.
If you'd like more recommendations or have a specific subtopic about dreams you'd like to investigate, leave a comment and I'll come back around tonight. Hope that helps!
Ha! This is a very insightful book also.

If you want a great foundation re: how to 'approach it from a good angle', try Richard A. Johnsons' book, Inner Work.
Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth is apparently good. I haven't read it yet but I've been recommended it many times.
This book helped me out a ton: Inner Work - Robert Johnson
I too am a super heavy dreamer (I wake wanting to go back into my dreams) and the analysis that I get from my dreams after reading this book is outstanding.
I don't have online source, it's hard to find because, i think, of the new age movement and other bullshit.
Those two are good, i would recommend the first one
