Dreams have captivated human imagination throughout the time.
However, in the year 1900, dreams also gained an important place in
psychotherapy when Sigmund Freud proposed that dreams were the
royal road to the unconscious. The following book presents an
overview of the history of dreams and discusses the shift from the
use of latent content to that of the manifest content during dream
analysis. Additionally, various methods of dream interpretation,
the functions of dreams, differing schools of thought on the
utility of dreams, typical dreams, and the biological challenge to
dream theory are discussed. From antiquity, the universal phenomena
of dreaming has captivated human imagination, confused human logic,
and controlled human endeavors. Dreams have been regarded as very
important, as messages from the gods, predictive of the future,
expiatory of guilt, and the voice of conscience. Shamans, seers,
and saints have used dreams to discern the source of sickness or to
set the course of nations. Poets, philosophers, and playwrights
have sought to plumb the depths of dreams in order to lure audience
or readers into the world of fantasy, to play the strings of the
emotions, and to recall the unthinkable. Cognitive, information
processing, and neuroscientists find in dreams brain activity that
can help understand REM, memory consolidation, and the
"unconscious" state.
