The world of dreams is a rich world, where stimuli, collected more or less consciously, intertwine to create imaginary stories that often leave us speechless for their originality.

In this book, dreams are treated as the continuation of waking thinking or ‘‘mind chat’’ given certain restrictions of the sleeping brain: While dreaming, we narrate stories to ourselves using many images as metaphors that have both personal and cultural meaning. Dreams are personal stories and like all such stories they help organize and make sense of our life experiences.

Chapters are organized around one fascinating dream each. A book for mental health professionals, but also for the wide public interested in self-development.
