| Summary |
"What, if anything, do dreams tell us about ourselves? What is the relationship between types of sleep and types of dreams? Does dreaming serve any purpose? Or are dreams simply meaningless mental noise - "unmusical fingers wandering over the piano keys"?"--BOOK JACKET. "With expertise in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Owen Flanagan is uniquely qualified to answer these questions. And in Dreaming Souls he provides both an accessible survey of the latest research on sleep and dreams and a new theory about the nature and function of dreaming."--BOOK JACKET |
