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.
