The Oracle of Night: The History and Science of Dreams

by Sidarta Ribeiro Author and Daniel Hahn Translator

Examine an exploration into the history of the human mind through the lens of dreams. The Oracle of Night dives deep into the questions we all ponder: What's the deal with dreams? Why do we have them? And how do they actually work in our bodies and minds? Starting with ancient cave paintings and how they shaped our ability to understand the past, future, and the whole concept of souls and spirits, it ends up with explanations from modern neuroscience, biochemistry, and psychology.
