Why do we dream? What is the connection between our dreams and our mental health? Can we teach ourselves to have lucid dreams?

The Psychology of Dreaming delves into the last 100 years of dream research to provide a thought-provoking introduction to what happens in our minds when we sleep. It looks at the role that dreaming plays in memory, problem-solving, and processing emotions, examines how trauma affects dreaming, and explores how we can use our dreams to understand ourselves better. Exploring extraordinary experiences like lucid dreaming, precognitive dreams, and sleep paralysis nightmares, alongside cutting-edge questions like whether it will ever be possible for androids to dream, The Psychology of Dreaming reveals some of the most fascinating aspects of our dreaming world.

Rachel Raider
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on the past, present, and potential future of dreams!
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021
I've spent years gathering and reading materials on dreaming and this book has become one of my favorites! It's much easier and more entertaining to read than dry textbooks or outdated material you'll find and had a good overview of all related topics (it usually takes multiple books to create a complete picture). I was especially drawn to the information on lucid dreaming and was fascinated by the discussion of where the current research is heading. I would love to read another book by this author again in 10 years when things have developed even further :)

Anyone who is interested in dreams and/or curious about dream research, I would highly recommend adding this book to your collection!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great science, historically inaccurate on psychoanalysis.
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2020

An overall good book. Unfortunately, the author misrepresents psychoanalysis, and does not even mention post Freudian ideas about dreams, excluding Jung who is also misrepresented later on. A great look into the modern science, but the author needs to go back and redo the sections on psychoanalysis to avoid misleading readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good introduction to dream research and theory
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 10, 2021

Josie Malinowski is both a poet and a scientist who specialises in dream research. Her new book, The Psychology of Dreaming is informed by her poetic sensibility while being firmly anchored in her research. She starts off with a provocation, insisting that dreams are not an opposite to real life, but a part of that reality. I agree, absolutely. Both dream and waking activity are things we do with our bodies and our minds, there are clear differences which, in some circumstances, may see blurred at the edges, less clear, but they form parts of a greater reality.
The Psychology of Dreaming sets out the history and current state of theory and research into dreams, it is written very simply, but never condescends to the reader, it’s broken down into short, headed sections and includes ancient dream theories, Freud and Jung, laboratory dream research, lucid dreams, the biological purpose of dreams and their possible meaning, and even possible lack of intrinsic meaning.
It is also sometimes a very funny book. I’d hate to ruin the story of the duck policeman, so will leave it to the people who buy the book to find out for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, fun and clear guide to dreaming!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2021

I really, really enjoyed this book. It was clear and pithy which made it a delight to read...but it was also just mainly so interesting! It cleared up some of my misconceptions around dreaming and what dreams mean, which was really helpful personally. As well as, of course, sharing some of the crazy insights about dreaming from science.

Thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in how we work - I was addicted to it...

A really interesting book that manages to explore dreams and dreaming from a scientific perspective without being too academic or unwieldy. It also acknowledges and understands folk traditions around dreaming whilst avoiding the cliches of new age woo. Chapters on sci-fi and future dream potential have got some really cool ideas. Highly recommended.
