About the Book

Until now, why we dream has remained a mystery to science. But, by piecing together the most recent scientific findings and psychological understandings, and adding groundbreaking discoveries of his own, Joe Griffin has revealed what turns out to be a strikingly simple and satisfying explanation for why we dream and why the content of our dreams is so very often bizarre. He and co-author Ivan Tyrrell convincingly show that dreaming is vital for mental health (even though remembering dreams is not) and that the sleep state we associate with dreaming (the REM state) also has crucial importance when we are awake. Indeed, this understanding of the REM state explains not only how our brains construct a model of reality in our minds, but also hypnosis, creativity, and why we develop mental illnesses such as depression and psychosis. Full of fascinating real life stories and dream case histories, "Dreaming Reality" gives readers the key to understanding their own remembered dreams, explains why day-dreaming was, and is, crucial to human development, and why stories and metaphors have universal appeal. It is a book that will change lives.

Review :
"The conclusions arrived at in Dreaming Reality are breathtaking, and considering the freedom the reader has to apply them to his or herself, they prove to be astonishing. This book gives such rational explanations that the culminative effect is like turning a light on in a room of shadows." MENTAL HEALTH PRACTICE "One of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last hundred years." DR FAROUK OKHAI "Joe Griffin's key insight...[means that] weekly excavation of your painful past in an attempt to understand your present depression has never seemed so foolish. There is a new king in the sacred grove [of psychology.]" FINANCIAL TIMES "This book on dreaming is revolutionary in more than one way. Past and sometimes overlooked research is re-evaluated, and a persuasive theory emerges... long overdue, to my mind... an intriguing guidebook." DORIS LESSING "A remarkable book that makes compelling reading. Griffin and Tyrrell's adroitly written text challenges traditional views on our knowledge and understanding of the mystifying covert world of human dreams." PROFESSOR TONY CHARLTON "A wonderfully fresh and stimulating view of dreaming, evolution and human functioning." Arthur J. Deikman, MD."
