Why We Dream: The Transformative Power of Our Nightly Journey by Alice Robb

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley, Eamon Dolan/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Alice Robb for an ARC ebook copy to review. As always, an honest review from me.

Why We Dream is a highly interesting and informative read. I learned a lot about the history of dream research and sleep, lucid dreaming, the psychology of sleep, dream interpretation, the influence of culture on dreams, and much more. There’s a whole culture of people who focus on dream interpretation that I didn’t know about. It’s fascinating. I found myself relating the information I learned, to people in my life.

However, some aspects of dream culture are a little too out there for me, and probably most of mainstream culture.

Overall, a great read that blends the psychology of sleep with dream analysis.
