About this ebook

Dreams can be one our most valuable sources of self-knowledge - if we understand how to interpret their meaning and symbolism.

Even if we awake from a nightmare that has seemed all too real, or a vivid dream teeming with what may be significant imagery, it is rare for us to reflect on it beyond breakfast, or make it more than the subject of an idle chat with friends. From the five stages of sleep to the effects of sleep deprivation, from Freud's legacy to the work of contemporary dream specialists, a wide range of material unfolds, all beautifully and lucidly described.

This indispensable guide to the secret world of dreaming will help unlock the hidden meaning of your dreams, and reveal how they are influenced by, and can inform, our waking moments.

Paul Roland explores:
- The science of sleep and dreams
- The effect of sleep deprivation
- Sensory deprivation
- Lucid dreams
- The psychology of sleep
- Freud's legacy and Jung and the House of Psyche
