We've nearly all been there at least once - awakened with a
pounding heart and the memory of frightening scenes that seemed so
real, but were conjured up and existed only in the sleeping mind.
Nightmares affect people across countries and cultures, with some
10 percent of the world's population reporting recurrent
nightmares. Parents have reported, and science has recorded,
nightmares in children as young as 18 months old. Up to 40 percent
of children aged 2 to 12 experience nightmares, as do some 35
percent of veterans and 50 percent of adults with chronic illness.
With this book, a psychologist widely known in his field shows how
nightmares evolved and were useful to ancestral populations, and
why nightmares may carry beneficial functional effects even today
for people who suffer from the pulse-pumping dreams. McNamara
brings us up to date on the biology of nightmares and what,
specifically, happens in the brain during the event. He also
explains the history and development of nightmares and likely
causes, including traumatic events, psychological and physical
disorders, and commonly consumed medications.
