Summary
The Dream Frontier explores what dreams teach us about psychology, neurology, and ourselves. It presents new ideas about why we dream. In dreams, we can express thoughts and feelings free from the need to put them in a form that is communicable to other people. Dreams also allow us to create new ideas and new objects, “thought mutations” which can be developed by the mind if they are useful, just as anatomical mutations are selected or rejected in evolution – a theory of “Oneiric Darwinism”.
The Dream Frontier will show you how to decipher the meaning and significance of your dreams. It provides ways for you to conquer “Oneirophobia” (the fear of dreams) and learn how to use other people to explore hidden meaning in your dream. It also tells how dream experiences can resemble neurological syndromes, and how studying dreams can help us understand how the brain works.
