Synopses & Reviews
This exploration of the dreaming mind is based in large part on the journals the author kept about his own dream life and his discussions about dreams with others. By turns deeply personal and universal, topics range from the scientific to the symbolic, and the interrelationship of dreams to sexuality, arousal, and guilt are examined. The stimuli and imagery of dreams in literature, film, theatre, opera, and the plastic arts are also detailed in this elegant, intimate reflection on this mysterious facet of human existence.
