A comprehensive, eyeopening exploration of what dreams are, where they come from, what they mean, and why we have them.Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenthcentury scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve?When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most uptodate science in the field. Written by two worldrenowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for examplewhile acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming.Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together stateoftheart neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUPNetwork Exploration to Understand Possibilities.

When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dreamrelated disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight.Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to ageold questions about the mysteries of sleep. 17 illustrations
