What do psychology and neuroscience tell us about our dreams? A dream researcher and practicing psychotherapist presents the science in a nontechnical Q&A format. The history of dream interpretation—from ancient Assyrian dream books to the theories of Carl Jung—is covered and one successful approach to dream studies is described: exploring the real-life incidents brought to mind by dreams and probing their meaning to the individual in an objective way.
