The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream

Psychologists and philosophers have long grappled with the mysteries of dreaming, and now-thanks largely to recent innovations in brain imaging -neuroscientists are starting to join the conversation. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning journalist Andrea Rock traces the brief but fascinating history of this emerging field. She then takes us into modern sleep labs across the country, asking the questions that intrigue us all: Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams? Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotions? Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems? Are the universal dream interpretations of Freud and Jung valid? Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys and tells us what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.

I am dreaming of a house on the beach or at least nearby. I moved a lot in my live, but the sea was always more than 4 hours away.
I love everything about the ocean, the salty smell, the tides, the different light. I love a stormy sea or when the sunlight is reflected by the water, like in this picture.
One day...
