In this book, Mark Solms chronicles a fascinating effort to
systematically apply the clinico-anatomical method to the study of
dreams. The purpose of the effort was to place disorders of
dreaming on an equivalent footing with those of other higher mental
functions such as the aphasias, apraxias, and agnosias. Modern
knowledge of the neurological organization of human mental
functions was grounded upon systematic clinico-anatomical
investigations of these functions under neuropathological
conditions. It therefore seemed reasonable to assume that
equivalent research into dreaming would provide analogous insights
into the cerebral organization of this important but neglected
function. Accordingly, the main thrust of the study was to identify
changes in dreaming that are systematically associated with focal
cerebral pathology and to describe the clinical and anatomical
characteristics of those changes. The goal, in short, was to
establish a nosology of dream disorders with neuropathological
significance. Unless dreaming turned out to be organized in a
fundamentally different way than other mental functions, there was
every reason to expect that this research would cast light on the
cerebral organization of the normal dream process.
