humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when
nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why
do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they
merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do
dreams serve? When Brains Dream addresses these core questions
about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the
field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers,
it debunks common myths-that we only dream in REM sleep, for
example-while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both
the science and experience of dreaming. Antonio Zadra and Robert
Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and
findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function
called NEXTUP-Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By
detailing this model's workings, they help readers understand key
features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to
nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent
discoveries about the sleeping brain, and the many ways in which
dreams are psychologically and neurologically meaningful
experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and
explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of
personal insight. Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the
