When Brains Dream professes that our unconscious hallucinations are more drastically layered than Freud's repressed desires, wish fulfillment, and latent symbolism. This book is methodical and accessible, gradually diving in to the world of sleep, how it has evolved, and why dreams are a part of it. Although Zadra and Stickgold endeavor to offer interpretations for common dreams, their focus lies in scientific fact…and research has rejected the idea that "behind every dream lies one 'true' meaning." Instead, our dreams are as unique and malleable as we are—the same dream may have entirely different meanings for two people. Learn more about "the science and mystery of our dreaming minds" with this eloquent guide, and as a bonus, answer that long-asked question: Does my dog dream, too?
