Title: The Mind At Night
Description:
The New Science Of How And Why We Dream
This exceptionally lucid and engaging work of science writing explicates
breakthroughs in the study of the dreaming mind from the 1950s to the present
day. Rock, an award-winning medical and science reporter, proves a crisp and
thorough storyteller as she portrays the professional tensions among scientific
innovators and delineates theoretical controversies (in which the legacy of
Freud looms large). She frequently cites interviews with neuroscientists and
psychologists, bringing out the drama of their intellectual struggles. Opening
with the discovery of the REM phase of sleep by a lowly University of Chicago
graduate student, Rock charts the subsequent explosion in dream research:
investigations into the roles of different parts of the brain in dreaming;
theories of animal dreaming and the evolutionary history of dreaming; the nature
of memory; and the neurological relationships among dreaming, mental illness and
consciousness itself. Examples of dreams are kept to a relevant minimum, but
many statistics of interest are reported. In Rock's concluding chapters, a
seamlessly narrated account of a period of sustained scientific focus on the
dreaming mind eases into a broader discussion of the function of dreaming in the
context of contemporary scientific findings and beliefs. Here Rock discourages
simplistic dream-symbol decoding in favor of a more complex approach enlightened
by present-day theories.
