The history of the scientific knowledge about dreaming is traced from the beginning of dream research in the 1950s to the modern labs as intellectual breakthroughs are interpreted to reveal how dreams can play a crucial role in understanding consciousness. 30,000 first printing.
Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in scientific
knowledge about why we dream, what's actually happening to the brain
when we do, and what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.
Beginning with the birth of dream research in the 1950s, award-winning
science reporter Andrea Rock traces the brief but fascinating history of
this emerging scientific field. She then takes us into modern sleep
labs across the country, bringing the scientists to life as she
interprets their intellectual breakthroughs and asks the questions that
intrigue us all: Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams? Why
are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotion, such as fear or
anxiety? Can we really control our dreams without waking up? Are
universal dream interpretations valid? Is dreaming our way of
consolidating long-term memories and filtering the day's mental
detritus? Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve
problems? Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright
light on our nocturnal journeys, while revealing the crucial role dreams
could play in penetrating the mystery of consciousness.
