How we remember and what we forget shapes our sense of self
This book explores how memory works, why memories fade, and how dreams reveal hidden mental processes. Drawing on vivid cases and classic ideas, it examines how images, sensations, and meanings interact to form recall, and why certain thoughts slip away while others endure.
From everyday perception to the deeper workings of dreams, the text shows how memory is built, stored, and sometimes distorted. It offers clear explanations of concepts like imagery, condensation, and the way unconscious factors influence what we remember. Readers will see how attention, postures, and even creative thinking play a role in what stays with us and what does not.
Ideal for readers curious about why memories last, what makes us forget, and how dreams illuminate mental processes.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
