Do we dream in black and white or colour? Can the blind see in their sleep? Why are dreams so bizarre? What is the purpose of dreaming? Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep and sleep laboratory science, J. Allan Hobson explains the fascinating discoveries of modern sleep science. In this book, previously published as Dreaming: An introduction to the science of sleep, he reveals how dreaming maintains and develops the mind, why we go crazy in our dreams in order to avoid doing so when we are awake, and why sleep is not just good for health but essential to life.
