Synopsis

Everyone sleeps and everyone dreams. Yet we are almost entirely unconscious of what is happening to us while we are sleeping and we forget almost all of our dreams. This book attempts to give an insight into the function of sleep and dreaming by providing a critical analysis of scientific research and a review of historical and cultural beliefs about the significance of sleep and dreams. The author explores such issues as whether dreams occur in real time or in a split second, why we only remember some of our dreams, why some themes recur, whether animals dream, whether we dream all night or in phases and why we talk in our sleep.
