We all dream, and 98 per cent of us can recall our dreams the next
morning. Even in today’s modern age, it is human nature to wonder what
they mean. With incredible new discoveries and stunning science, Why We
Dream will give you dramatic insight into yourself and your body.
You’ll never think of dreams in the same way again . . .
Groundbreaking science is putting dreams at the forefront of new
research into sleep, memory, the concept of self and human
socialization. Once a subject of the New Age and spiritualism, the
science of dreams is revealed to have a crucial role in the biology and
neuroscience of our waking lives.
In Why We Dream, Alice Robb, a leading American science journalist,
will take readers on a journey to uncover why we dream, why dreaming
matters, and how we can improve our dream life – and why we should.
Through her encounters with scientists at the cutting edge of dream
research, she reveals how:
- Dreams can be powerful tools to help us process the pain of a
relationship break-up, the grief of losing a loved one and the trauma
after a dramatic event
- Nightmares may be our body’s warning system for physical and mental
illness (including cancer, depression and Alzheimer’s)
- Athletes can improve their performance by dreaming about competing
- Drug addicts who dream about drug-taking can dramatically speed up
their recovery from addiction.
Robb also uncovers the fascinating science behind lucid dreaming – when
we enter a dream state with control over our actions, creating a
limitless playground for our fantasies. And as one of only ten per cent
of people with the ability to lucid-dream, she is uniquely placed to
teach us how to do it ourselves.
