Investigates the human condition through dreaming.Attempts to understand the human condition through dreaming reach back to antiquity, especially in such classical Indian philosophical texts as the Rg Veda and the Upanisads. In a more contemporary vein, Dream Life, Wake Life continues this investigation, as it views the dream as an open window on the waking human condition.The book discusses the major twentieth-century contributions to dream theory, beginning with Freud's 1900 psychoanalytical theory of dreaming and continuing through Jung's transpersonal and Boss's existential approaches. Recent phenomenological, cognitive, and biological developments are also considered.Dream Life, Wake Life addresses human creativity as illuminated by dreaming.

Globus, MD, is Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of California at Irvine, and Director of Training and Program D
