Description
A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year 2024, This Is Why You Dream explores the mystery of dreams through neuroscience, neurochemistry, magic and mystery. Dreams have changed individual lives and the course of history, inspiring art and scientific breakthroughs, prompting business deals and military invasions, and contributing to mental breakdowns. Neurosurgeon Rahul Jandial delves into the dreaming brain and draws on stories from his own practice to explain the astonishing effects dreams can have on waking life. He discusses how dreaming about an exam might help you score up to 20% higher, why a long nap could improve problem-solving, and how certain dream disorders may warn of serious diseases such as Parkinson’s years before other symptoms appear. Backed by the latest research, he offers clear advice on becoming a lucid dreamer, understanding your dreaming patterns and unlocking their creative power. The book answers fundamental questions about why and how we dream, what dreams mean, and whether we sleep in order to dream.
