Exploring Our Dreams: The Science and the Potential for Self-Discovery - Paperback

by Paul R. Robbins (Author)

What do psychology and neuroscience tell us about our dreams? A dream researcher and practicing psychotherapist presents the science in a nontechnical Q&A format.

The history of dream interpretation--from ancient Assyrian dream books to the theories of Carl Jung--is covered and one successful approach to dream studies is described: exploring the real-life incidents brought to mind by dreams and probing their meaning to the individual in an objective way.
