Reviews

Domhoff treats us to a fascinating book about a fascinating topic. A tour by a master through the science of dreams, from the discovery of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep to the latest research. An easy to read introduction for anyone, yet so comprehensive and detailed that every researcher will learn something. * Richard Schweickert, PhD, Professor, Psychological Sciences, Purdue University * At a time when numerous disciplines are witnessing a renewed and burgeoning interest in dreams, Domhoff offers the reader a lucid and eye-opening analysis of the literature, from foundational studies of dreaming and dream content to recent discoveries in the neurosciences. Domhoff has produced an exciting, insightful book that brilliantly pulls decades of accumulated findings and ideas together into a compelling and state-of-the-art neurocognitive theory of dreams. Erudite, groundbreaking, and utterly fascinating, Domhoff's The Emergence of Dreaming is a 'tour de force' of original thinking and sets a new standard in the field. A must-read for anyone interested in dreams. * Antonio Zadra, PhD, Professor, Departement de psychologie, Universite de Montreal * Domhoff reviews in wonderful detail the history of scientific research into dreams over the last 65 years, showing the rigour of lab and non-lab studies. . . . [He] provides a comprehensive and captivating account of experiments and theories in the field, including his own content analysis work and neurocognitive account of dreaming. * Mark Blagrove, PhD, FBPsS, Director of Research and Professor of Psychology, College of Human and Health Sciences, Swansea University *
