What is dreaming, and what causes it? Why are dreams so strange and why are they
so hard to remember? Replacing dream mystique with modern dream science, J.
Allan Hobson provides a new and increasingly complete picture of how dreaming is
created by the brain. Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep,
this book explores how the new science of dreaming is affecting theories in
psychoanalysis, and how it is helping our understanding of the causes of mental
illness.
J. Allan Hobson investigates his own dreams to illustrate and explain some of
the fascinating discoveries of modern sleep science, while challenging some of
the traditionally accepted theories about the meaning of dreams. He reveals how
dreaming maintains and develops the mind, why we go crazy in our dreams in order
to avoid doing so when we are awake, and why sleep is not just good for health
but essential for life.
