The Multiplicity of Dreams: Memory Imagination and Consciousness

About this book

Dreams have been interpreted as divine revelations previews of the future relivings of the past and expressions of unconscious conflicts. In this book psychologist Harry T. Hunt provides a look at all aspects of dreaming from the theories of Freud and Jung to the latest developments in sleep laboratories. Drawing on insights from anthropology and psychiatry as well as from cognitive psychology Hunt argues that there are many types of dreams and he classifies them systematically. This book should be useful to both scientists and the general public for it explains what we know about dreams in accessible language.
