Rahul Jandial: That's why we dream: what our brain reveals about our waking state while we sleep
Sleep, the neglected power of the human mind, is the pillar of our survival. In Why We Dream, Dr. Rahul Jandial, renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, guides us through the mysterious realms of the subconscious, illuminating the latest developments in dream research and neuroscience. We discover why humanity has retained the gift of dreaming throughout the ages and how we can use its inexhaustible power to perfect both sleep and wakefulness.
Sleep is more than just a physiological need. It is a keeper of emotions, a storehouse of memories, a nursery of creativity and a catalyst for learning. In it we find solace after trauma, and it also helps us prepare for life's storms. Furthermore, dreams sometimes provide vague but enigmatic indications of future mental and physical illnesses, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
The author teaches us how to master the powerful tool of lucid dreaming, practicing skills that will benefit us in waking life, how to transform nightmares into symbols of hope and how to decipher the hidden messages of our dreams, revealing the deepest desires of our hearts. Because we dream opens the door to one of the oldest and most important processes of the human mind, unlocking its potential to revolutionize our lives.
