When a true genius like Frued comes along and establishes a science like he did, the rest of the scientific community takes a long time to catch up and then to move on. By the end of Freud's life in 1939, the first cracks in his theories were beginning to be made by the neurologists. Since then, the neurologists have continue to develop their theories to meet every increasing evidence on how the brain works.

In this book, Dr. Hobson writes abou thirteen dreams that he had over several years. For each dream he analysizes it not from the standpoint Freud would use, but from the standpoint of modern neurological science - i.e. how much wine did he have to drink that suppressed REM sleep leaving him REM deprived.

This book presents an interesting view of the modern developments in dream analysis based on current techology.
