This volume summarizes the knowledge that science has been able to amass about the world of dreams since Freud first published his book ''Interpretation of Dreams'' in 1900. Vedfelt reviews, in depth, the large body of research about dreams that has found its way into the literature, from the work of Freud and Jung to that of many other important investigators, including Alfred Adler, Erich Fromm, Montague Ullman, Calvin Hall and Medard Boss. Vedfelt also discusses dream-work in gestalt therapy and psychodrama, and describes the results of modern laboratory investigations of sleep and dreaming. How organic diseases and physical symptoms affect dreams, the relationship between dreams and psychosis, parapsychological phenomena, esoteric dream understanding and consciousness-expanding dreams are among other subjects covered. This handbook should be of interest both to professionals and to those with a general interest in the subject.
