Description

Discover the remarkable story of how dreams evolved in mammals and what they mean for our mental health. Joe Griffin's groundbreaking work reveals that dreams are not just a byproduct of sleep, but a vital component of our well-being.

Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell show that dreaming is essential for mental health, and that the brain state we associate with dreaming has crucial importance for when we are awake. This understanding opens up new possibilities for humanity, including greater creativity and improved mental health. The authors convincingly argue that dreaming is not just a passive experience, but an active process that helps us construct a model of reality.

By exploring the science behind dreaming, Griffin and Tyrrell shed new light on the nature of reality, hypnosis, creative behaviour, and mental illnesses such as depression and psychosis. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the mysterious world of dreams.
